NIGHT EDITOR: ARTHUR M. TAUB YALE SURPRISED the football world by arranging a schedule for this year that included eight major opponents. As a result of that "suicide" schedule, Yale was defeated in the opening game of the year, by Columbia. Later in the season the Elis Also lost to Army and Georgia. But last Saturday the New Haven team rose up to administer one of the most smashing upsets of the year and ruin the glorious dreams of a Prince- ton team which had been heading toward a second undefeated season. That one game meant a suc- cessful campaign for Yale and a bitter one for the Tiger. The example of Yale's schedule may be about to start something in the East. Already Princeton, looking back over its first six games, has decided that lack of a single contest which provided real competition was the cause of its unexpected downfall. That Yae had a background of compe- tition cannot be denied. Whether or not the lack of seasoning under heavy fire was the chief cause of Princeton's dis- aster Saturday, one more Eastern school seems about to recognize a schedule policy that has been a matter of course in the Middle West for years. Such schedules do not bring many undefeated sea- sons, but they do provide contests that are more interesting and worthwhile because more evenly matched. They do make it easier to determine the comparative strength of the nation's teams during the short season, leaving less to settle in post sea- son games and arguments. Not to mention the gate receipts. As Others See It A Purely Cultural Education SOME TIME AGO two presidents, one who gov- erns the destiny of a great nation, and the other who educates young men and women to become useful citizens in that nation, expressed similar views on a subject which vitally concerns us. President Roosevelt's speech delivered at Wil- liam and Mary College, where the President was conferred the degree of doctor of laws, and the statement made public by Arthur Cutts Willard, the newly installed head of the University of Illi- nois, agreed on one essential, namely the need of a cultural background in every line of specialization. For a long time wehave heard controversy re- garding the value of purely cultural education in the practical world of today. There has been prev- alent among us the belief that any study outside of our immediate field of specialization is not only idle but useless. Coming from a man of prac- tical affairs and from one who has spent 20 years in training engineering students for specialized careers, their opinion should engage more than a passing consideration from us if only for these reasons: first, to furnish an incentive to students in the college of arts and sciences whose majors lie more or less in non-professional fields, and secondly, to help cultivate a new point of view into the minds of students enrolled in various profes- sional schools who look upon the requirement of "empirical" subjects for graduation with strong misgivings. The following is an excerpt from President Roosevelt's address: -"There is a definite place in American life - an important place - for broad, liberal, and non- specialized education. Every form of co-operative human endeavor cries out for men and women who, in their thinking processes, will know some- thing of the broader aspects of any given problem. GoVernment is greatly using men and women of this type - people who have the non-specialized point of view and who at the same time have a general and extraordinarily comprehensive knowledge, not of the details, but of the progress and purposes which underlie the work of specialists themselves." The educator reminds us that lack of liberal arts education has a distinct disadvantage to the pro- fessional man because "this is not solely a world of engineers -nor of any kind of specialists. The day will come when the handicap will certainly be a source of bitter chagrin to him, and it may be the cause of monetary loss." -Indiana Daily Student. Pragmatism Invades Education ONE OF THE MOST significant changes educa- tion has undergone in the last two centuries is the closer approximation within college halls of the conditions of everyday life. The falls of the cloister have been pierced to an unprecedented degree, and the tempo of its dim and dusty halls has been ac- celerated as never before. Scholasticism has grad- ually been forced to retreat before a rising tide of realism. Scholarship has become a part of life and life a part of scholarship. It is desirable as well as inevitable that this should happen. Life, after all, is man's chief func- tion, and all his specialized activities should be a contributing part of it. But today, in the opinion of many observers, we are in grave danger of carry- ing the process too far. There is much, they say, that is not practical, in the usual sense of the world, and yet is infinitely desirable in the complete development of man. There can be little doubt, if one considers how many of the enriching things of life, lie, for the man of the street, entirely outside the realm of the practical, that these critics are to a large mea- sure right. The world, oi the greater part of it, does not want great literature, art or music until it is created. These things, that gave to life so much of its richness and meaning, fall for too many COLLEGIATE OBSERVER By BUD BERNARD Here is a story, which in my estimation, is quite worthwhile. Three professors at a large university were discussing the relative antiquity of their pro- fession --a professor of surgery, a professor of engineering, and an authoray on banking. The surgery exper pointed to the story of Adam's rib and asked, "Is not that in the na- ture of a surgical operation, and very, very old?" "Yes," answered the engineer, "but I believe I can go you one better. Look at Genesis. Was not the world created out of chaos in six days. Is not that in the nature of a remarkable engineering feat - and more ancient than your profession?" The authority on banking was stopped mo- mentarily, and thought long and hard. "Yes," he said, "you have given me a hard nut to crack, but," he inquired, "has it ever occurred to you what created chaos?" The clock in the main library at the University of Oregon stopped the other day, and repair men found that a cockroach was the cause of the trouble, keeping the pendulum from swinging. d: k * * Here's a contribution coming from B.B.L.: A toast to the lovely - To the co-eds who are like watches, pretty enough to look at, sweet faces and delicate hands, but somewhat difficult to regulate when once set going. * '$ * * Here's the heighth of something! At a recent debate held in a small western college the subject was, "Are Mice More Beneficial Than Old Maids?" } * * A COLLEGE MONOTYPES It takes all kinds To make a college like ours. There is for example the average junior. He is betwixt and between the conceit of a sophomore and the cynicism of a senior. He has what he himself calls "sophistication." He is thoroughly versed in the ways of women, yet will spend days wondering why she doesn't write. He is seen at most social affairs. He is always ready and willing to tell you where the best beer in Ann Arbor can be obtained. He is beginning to doubt the great wisdom of his professors, but not his own and infallible knowledge. He calls the B.M.O.C. by their first names. He has supreme faith in Greek letters and college degrees. He is in fact the average junior. It takes all kinds To make a college like ours. A Washington BY STA N D E R By KIRKE SIMPSON THE DIGNIFIED Secretary Henry Morgenthau is described as having received word at the treasury of Henry Ford's "the depression is over for us" announcement with a shout of "Whoopie!" That was the only official New Deal comment im- mediately obtainable. Very likely it adequately summed up reaction in the White House and else- where in New Deal Washington to voluntary enlist- ment in the recovery acceleration campaign. The scope of the projected Ford winter opera- tions bade fair to lift a sizeable chunk of the relief burden off Uncle Sam's shoulders. More than that, as Ford does, so much his major competitors con- sider doing. It seems strange that this cheering word for New Deal theories of the present ripeness of opportunity for business to begin lifting itself out of the post- depression doldrums should come from Ford. So re- cently were leading New Dealers such as General Johnson, and even the White House motor equip- age procurement machinery, trotting about to ex- change their Ford-built vehicles for almost any other make. That was when he was not to be persuaded into signing up on the automotive code, for all the verbal brickbats General Johnson could throw his way. AT THAT TIME some of the most intimate Pres- idential advisers believed a face-to-face meet- ing between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Ford would have cured the situation. They made no secret of their belief that the two men saw things much alike. Some of the Ford representatives in Wash- ington had the same idea. It looked as if the only thing that prevented such a meeting was lack of a diplomatic formula as to which would make the first gesture. Mr. Ford coupled with his million car produc- tion plan announcement, to be sure, a crack at "these alphabet schemes," recalling the Al Smith "alphabet soup" bon mot. He advised business to forget the alphabetical lot and go ahead. He also advised industrialists to "take hold of their coun- try, too, and run it with good, sound American common sense.,, Just what that meant is not clear. The Ford statement came just on the eve 'of the elections. It also came while his automotive rivals signed up under the code were fussing in Washington about renewal of the pact. Which prompted the timing of the Ford announcement? * ** * THAT FORD is not alone among the industrial captains in believing the time is at hand to PA' 1 kT ; I ! Look!

The voice of the movie explains the principles in- volved in the photographed material. No instructor need be present. Abstract terms become concrete images on the living screen. In the not so distant future, such a possibility may become reality. In recent publications, two faculty members of the School of Education here venture predictions on the subject. Dr. William Clark Trow, professor of educational psychology, who has, taken motion pictures for educational use in Russia and inGermany, writes in the December issue of the School of Education Bulletin of the possibilities of films for teaching the principles of education. "It may be argued," he writes, "that college stu- dents have attained tosuch a high level of ab- stract, conceptual thinking that particulars would be a hindrance to them rather than a help. Or it may be contended that the ideas with which college students are academically employed are too ab- struse for pictorial representation." These argu- ments are sound, as far as they apply, says Pro- fessor Trow, but it is fairly obvious that in the fields of surgery, biological science, manufacturing and agricultural courses, there is a definite place for visual supplementary work in the classroom. Prof. Howard Y. McClusky ventures farther in his predictions for the future. Writing in the mag- azine "Education" for this month, he says, "It is not fantastic to prognosticate that instruction in the fine arts will be enriched by the extensive accumu- lations of inexpensive but precise copies of famous paintings, Libraries of recordings will bring the best musical compositions of all ages to the average schoolroom . . . "Talking and silent motion pictures will take over much of the laboratory training in the natural and biological sciences. Film and sound discs will record units of instruction and lectures by ex- perts on every conceivable aspect of the curriculum. Entire courses of study will be outlined in terms of these mechanical aids. "Buildings will be equipped with sound-proof au- dition rooms of various sizes for purposes of indi- vidual and group instruction. Talking machines, radio and television receiving apparatus will Abe standard equipment in the school of the future .. . a en~itfins-, rf QVrtin wilno1 vc Inr e1 xi sT_ vU BUY NOW!
