CONVENTION STRESSES
SPROBLEMS OF DEANS,
Nr. Nabot Defines Student Opinion
As Sentiment And Ideals Which
Are Echoes Of Few leaders
MARY WOOLLEY ISPAKS
Commenting on the convention of
deans of women held recently in
Boston, Miss Beatrice Johnson, adviser,
to women, stated: "Of the eight ses-
sions which I attended, only one dealt1
with students' problems. The other1
seven 'discussed the dean herself. It
seems to me to be the wrong emphasis,
since deans of women are primarily
interested in the education of their
women students.
"The value of student opinion, as
discussed by Richard Cabot, brother of
Dean Hugh Cabot here, was of in-
terest to me;" Miss Johnson went on.
Mr. Cabot defined student opinion as
sentiment, ideals, projects for reform,
and usually the echo of a few aders.
He believes that it is really original.
He thinks that it exists in small, fear-
less, homologous groups, where ithas,
been thrashed through :and selected,
by discussion. In keeping with this
opinion, he feels that c'olleges the size
of Columbia are too large for effective
student opinion. He further warned
'against asking for student opinion
except in the realm of the students'w
experience.
Vassar, reported a student faculty,
committee working in conjunction, its
purpose being to further greater dis--
crimination in the selection of courses.
Students are encouraged to visit the
classes they plan to enter before they
elect them.. Through this committee
they are also able to obtain student
reaction to courses and methods of
teaching...
In interesting contrast to Mr. Cabot's
view, the dean at Vassar claims there
is expertness of opinion in the stu-
dent field.
Miss Mary Woolley, president of Mt.
Holyoke, won Miss Johnson's interest
by her talk on "The Institute of Pa-
cmfic Relations" which is the out-,
growth of friendships stimulated by
the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. It has
been enlarged, however, to include
peoples without the Christian limita-
tion. It now includes China, Japan,
Australia, and New Zealand.
The results of the meeting of the
institute last year were remarked up-
on by Miss Woolley. It has meant an
increase in friendliness between na-
tions pointing toward world peace. It
will tend to meet the rising tide -of'
nationalism due to the exploitation.
of the-East by the West.
Summarizing her opinio of the con-
ference as a whole, Miss Jlhnson said:
"There is a great gap between the
theory and ideals of deans of women
and their actual practice. Happily it
can be overcome in a measure by a
little more contact with youth; and a
little less time on research and intro-1
spective activity. This gap in part de-
flects much of the help which the old-
er generation might give to the young-,
er now in college."

Procure Gowns Now!
The rental of the senior caps andI
gowns by the Undergraduate can-
paign committee of the Women's lea-'
gue was started Monday but up to
date very few senior women have'
procured their gowns. This -week is
the only time that senior women can
get their gowns from the league and
so it is urged that every woman come.
early and be fitted. Friday, March 16
is the last date that the gowns may
be procured, All women getting
their gowns are asked to keep theirj
receipts in order that the refund t
which every woman is entitled to
after graduation may be given to her
with greater ease.
The cost of the- rental for each
gown is the same price as last year
that of $10. Half of this price is to
go to the actual rental of the gown,
while the remainder will go to the1
cost of the mortarboard and the rest
will be refunded after graduation. It
is stressed by the committee in
charge that only cash will be re-
ceived for the gowns as there is not1
enough time remaining for checks to
go through the banks. The gowns
will be given out every afternoon this
week at Barbour gymnasium from 2'
o'clock until 5 o'clock.

marriage is very great.
The men are jealous of the fian-
cees. Dances at the university were
discontinued because a girl danced
with one of her professors and her
suitor attempted to knife him. The
Porto Ricans are quite astonished at
the independent and broadminded
American girl.
"Women do not show a great deal
of desire for higher education. There
are few women in the university, but
more of them attend the Normal
school. The demand for teachers in
the school of the island is very large
and most of the teachers in the ele-
mentary schools are Porto Rican
girls. Of course, on acccant of their
bringing up, they are very dependent.
NOTICES
