Discusses Numerous Educational
Projects for Betterment
of Institution
SPEAKS BEFORE FORUM
Suggests Proposition by Which
Delinquent Freshmen
May be Aided.
Since the life of a university re-
flects the life of the world at large,
we can assume that the direction
that college education is taking is
fundamentally raht, P r e s i d e n t
Alexander G. Ruthven stated yes-
terday afternoon before an All-
Campus forum on the subject,
"Plans and Policies of the Univer-
sity"
Among other definite projects for
the betterment of the institution,
President Ruthven explained a plan
by which he hopes to obviate the
n e c e s s i t y of sending delinquent
freshmen home at the middle of
the year. He stated his desire to
create the office of student councel-
lor or advisor who would help stu-
dents evercorhe some of the prob-
lems that are -holding them back,
through no fault of their own, how-
ever.
Discusses Leading Questions.-
Although describing the general
lines along which progress will be
made, President Ruthven empha-
sized the fact that he had only had
a little more than a year to formu-
late his ideas on administration and'
that many projects were still in anQ
embryonic state. However, he took
up and discussed qv estions of the
condition of the faca.ty, retirement
pensions, research and its place in
the university, organization of the
administration, the new office of
student councellor, alumni relations,
and entrance requirements.
In discussing the faculty, the
speaker brought out the p o i n t, c
that while it was true that the
u n i v e r s i t y had lost a consider-c
able number of prominent men re-
cently by death and retirement, the Y
condition of the university teach-
ing staff at present, nevertheless, e
was better than it has ever been in
the history of the institution. Some
of the losses of professors to other s
colleges, President Ruthven ex- r
plained, have been occasioned mere- "A
ly by the fact that there were, for o
example, more men in a depart- h
ment of a certain caliber than the n
university had use for. He stated,
however, that there was a great f
need for certain key men.
Cites Disappointing Cases.
The speaker's discussion of the o
e n t r a n c e requirement situation i
hinged on thet same idea as the
proposition of a student councellor, 1
namely the ideal of decreasing ap-
preciably the number of scholastic
failures, among the freshman class f
fn particular. It is not so much a
matter of raising the requirements, p
he continued, as it is selecting the p
type of men and women of ambi-
tion and high moral character that
the university can mould into in-
telligent and useful citizens. He em-
phasized the number of bitterly dis-
appointing cases that had come to
his attention and p o i n t e d o u t
whereby many of them could have
be'en avoided.
In approaching the t e n - y e a r
building program fo Wulated two
years ago by the alumni, President
Ruthven made it clear that he was
Rir from being satisfied with the
provisions of the plan. The newly
authorized office of di'rector of plant
extension, he pointed out, would
provide a means by which the uni-
versity could have a building pro-.
gram that would be suited exactly
to the needs of the university. The
expert in charge of plant extension
w/ould see that every building was
constructed to meet the p r e c i s e
needs for which it was planned.
