Gustavson Explains
Basis Of Education
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson, speaking to the University chapter
of the American Association of University Professors, said Wednes
day that the "basic foundation for the operation of the University
f Nebraska" is built around four major points:
1. Education must teach young
people their place in history
2. Education must teach stu
dents the value and meaning of
freedom.
3. Education must allow in
Courtesy Lincoln Stai.
DR. GUSTAVSON
structors the freedom to search
for truth.
4. Education must be charac
terized by liberalism.
These four points of educa
tional philosophy, Gus'avson
Mid, stem from this definition
of the purpose of higher et'uca
totn: The purpose of the Uni
versity is to offer the raximum
number of young people who
have the capacity the oppor
tunity to learn skills and de
velop attitudes for effective and
intelligent Trine in a fr-e so-
ciety, and to fuz'--. young
minds to nak? jn-l-rmcnts es
sential to t'-.e prersrvation of a
free society.
The first problem which the
University must face in applying
this definition, Curtavson said, is
the question of who .hall be ad -
mitted to the University.

RID CROSS CHRISTMAS
Carolers Sing, Leave Gifts
By CONME GORDON
Feature Editor
"Merry Christmas" In the form
of University carolers was brought
to Lincoln institutions Wednes
day night
The University Red Cross Col
lege Unit held its annual Christ
mas caroling party. Students
from all over the University were
picked up by special buses and
chartered to their destinations.
Under the direction of sonr
leaders Aaron Schmidt and Bob
Swalm, the carolers began
singing as soon as they boarded
the buses. To make sure that
everyone knew the words to the
perennial Christmas carols,
caroling books were distributed
to each caroler.
Orthopedic hospital was the
first stop made by the carolers.
The group spent approximately
20 minutes going from ward to
ward. Some of the gifts that
were brought to the "Miss Snow-,
flake" Union party were left at
the hospital for Santa Claus to
distribute Saturday night at the
children's Christmas party.
The Dxt stop e the carolert
list was the mental hospital. ;
Smiles en the residents faces
reflected the happiness the j
eareters brought them.
TaWifc. iinm anri Kf Thomas'
Orphanage were the last stops on!
the carolers list The remainder
of the lifts were handed out at
"Higher education is a trust
and a privelege vested in young
men and women by the people
of Nebraska," Gustvason pointed
out. "In admitting young people
to the University, we must justify
our decision to those' whose
money supports it. We must make
every effort to be sure those
young people, upon graduation,
wifl contribute constructively to
the way we live," he said.
The proper teaching of his
tory, the Chancellor stressed,
should occupy an important po
sition in any general or special
ized training program. For ex
ample, Gustavson pointed out,
students of agriculture must be
taught, not only the skills of
agriculture, but also .a back
ground of history which will
illustrate the value of conserv
ing soil for future generations.
Discussing his second point,
Gustavson asserted that "We can
not teach young people the mean
ing of freedom unless we teach
them truth. M Through truth, he
. ..
said.
we must teacn tnem we,
value and meaning of freedom so
lit will remain with them as a
Hasting conviction.
The problem of freedom must
apply also to University teachers,
the Chancellor added. Our edu
cators, he said, must be permit
ted to search for truth even
jthouph "at times we may find
:that truth is inconvenient for us
ito search for or explain."
! "Finally," Gustavson said,
! "the search for truth must be
i characterized by liberalism."
I "The liberalism of which I
-speak," Gustavson explained, "is
not a political creed, but a dis
position of character. It is the
kind of thinking which encour
ages a restless inquiry into the
.nature of things about us; which,
regards vary little as absolutely j
certain; which does not lear wu-
nessing all of the evidence; which;
scrupulously depends on persua-'
sive reasoning rather than sup-
p-ession and fear."
