Survey Reveals Women
Feel Jobs Important

Show Modern Art

Over half of America's em-
ployed women say their jobs help'
make them feel useful and im-
portant, with the type of satisfac-
tion they get depending on what
their job involves, according to a
nation-wide study by the Survey
Research Center of the Univer-
sity's Institute for Social Re-'
search.
Findings of the study are de-
tailed in a report on "Social Roles

of American Women: Their Con-
tribution to a Sense of Usefulness
and Importance" by Robert S.
Weiss of the University of Chicago
and Nancy Morse Samelson of the
Merrill-Palmer School.
Their findings pointed out that
seven out of ten women in profes-
sional and managerial occupa-
tions refer to their jobs as a basis
for social worth. Both teachers
and nurses, who comprise most
of the professional women in the
U.S., find their work highly re-
warding.
Women in managerial positions,
the co-authors cited, were more
likely to call attention to their
achievement and the recognition
that comes from advancement in
an organization.

Robert F. Goheen, president of
Princeton University, last week at-
tacked the critics who would solve
the colleges' problems by trying to
"equate educational with indus-
trial efficiency."
" Inhis annual report, Dr. Go-
heen rejected such frequently
made proposals as year-round op-
eration of the colleges, pushing
the student through in three
years, or putting him on a self-
learning basis.
Dr. Goheen also took issue with
some of the current attitudes
within his profession. He strong-
ly opposed the argument advanced
recently by A. Whitney Griswold,
president of Yale University, that
the student be charged more near-
ly the full cost of his education.
Criticizes Myth
He also criticized what he called
a "myth" that college students to-
day do not have the interest in ex-
tra-curricular activities that they
used to have. The American Coun-
cil on Education's Commission on
the College Student reported in
October that today's more mature
students considered most campus
activities adolescent.
Princeton's graduate school, he
said, is now more selective than
its undergraduate college, accept-
ing only 31.5 per cent of those ap-
plying, as against 40 per cent for
the college.
Any expansion in the university,
he declared, should take place in
the graduate school, to meet the
nation's and the colleges' urgent
needs for creative research and
for college teachers.
Gives Interview
In an interview discussing his
report, Dr. Goheen declared that
"panaceas" such as more self-
learning or fuller use of the col-
lege plant offered no solutions to
the problems of higher education.
There is little in the experience
of most high schools or American
homes to indicate that "the Uto-
pian theory" of substituting more

independent study for faculty
guidance will work, he said.
The fact is, he said, that educa-
tion, as distinguished from mere
training, is a "tailor-made, crea-
tive process" that can never be
cheap.d
To Increase Tuition
It is not generally appreciated,
he said, that the parents of
Princeton students pay only 45,
per cent of the instructional costs.

Art Curator
To Give Talk
George M. A. Hanfmann, Prof.
of fine arts and Curator of Clas-
sical Art at the Fogg Art Museum.
Harvard University, will speak on
"Greek Myths aid Sanctuaries in
the Light of Recent Discoveries:
Aulis, Iolkos, Dodona," at 4:10
p.m., today, in Aud. B, of Angell
Hall.
The second of a series of ar-
chaeological lectures, the address
is under the auspices of the fine
arts and classical studies depart-
ments and the Ann Arbor Society,
Archaeological Institute of Ameri-
ca.

But Dr. Goheen called "ill-I
considered" talk about raising tui-I
tion charges in private institu-
tions to where they would meet
the full cost of education.
No Princeton student is ever
likely to pay nearly that much,
and no student should ever be de-
nied a Princeton education be-
cause of financial need, he de-
clared. He did, however, strongly
endorse long-term financing of
college costs.
Student interest in extra-curri-
cular activities has changed rath-
er than waned, Dr. Goheen em-
phasized.
