HERSHEY On Ihe Ldnucation Of Women . . OLLEGES were attacked for being lax in preparing women to meet the complexities of present-day life by speakers who included ,college administrators and career women at the luncheon meeting of the New York VLeague of Business and Professional Women Sat- urday. We single these criticisms out for attention be- cause we believe that they embody a great and prevalent misconception about the function of the liberal arts college. The fallacy that "there's plenty of room at the top," held as prevailing among graduates on the threshold of careers, is "attributable in no small measure to the colleges' neglect of their responsi- bility in that they had given the girls a great fnd of . specific information without sufficient con-~ sideration to personal judgment," Miss Constance Warren, president of Sarah Lawrence College, was quoted as saying by the New York Timms.I Five aspects of the training required by a stu- dent who must seek a livelihood were cited by Miss Warren as follows: "To inculcate the ability of getting along with people, through the understanding of human prob- lems under expert psychiatric direction, by stim- ulating interest in a greater variety of extra- curricular activities. "The teaching of initiative, independent think- ing and a sense of personal responsibility - culti- vating thinking instead of memorizing, by atten- tion to observation and discussion, rather than pure recitation and quizzing -- and to discourage the habit of leaning on authority. "Teaching students to see and realize the always greater possibilities inherent in any achievement, rather than a resignation to do the given job and "let it go at that. "Attention to, and insistence on, the application of courage, one of the most necessary factors in meeting competitive obstacles, such as are en- countered in business. "Stressing the extreme importance of clarity and vision by abandoning the purely 'logical an- rangement' of courses and substituting a regime in which the students might encounter some of the real problems met in daily life." These criticisms of the liberal arts college arise, we feel, because of a mistaken conception of its! aims. Women who want to be educated in the sense in which Miss Warren uses the term do not belong in the liberal arts colleges. It is true that the liberal arts college seeks to arouse an "understanding of human problems," but not by "stimulating an interest in a greater variety of extra-curricular activity." Even more, the liberal arts college strives to inculcate "clar- ity and vision," but certainly not by "substituting a regime in whi h Uhe stients inight enOunter some of the ral probiems met mn daily life.' The incul.athion o e tsc ideals comes through an associat':on wit the culture of tradition, as addcd ) td mudiLieLd by contemporary civiliza- ton. The eica aiariichy in which we live is a product of a philosophy which confuses the demoel : , ideal iln Odu(c,tion with the utilitarian; the ay to restore 'culuivated thinking" to a world of jazz. immediacy is not to "discourage the habit of leaning on authority,"b'cut rather to repair the general ignorance of tradition. The way to teach a sense of personal responsibility in the modern iness of the liberal arts college only in the sense that a cultivated mind has character. In the practical and immediate sense in which Miss War- ren uses it - character to overcome business ob- stacles -- it lies within the province of another type of educational institution. Women who want to learn to cook, to sew, to take dictation or to learn some way of earning a livelihood ought not expect these things from a liberal arts college. Training for specific tasks is the job of technical and professional schools, and should be undertaken only with the firm structure of a liberal arts train-' ing underneath. With Miss Warren's criticism of the passive lecture system -pure recitation and quizzing - we are in agreement, and intend to make it the subject of a future editorial. But with her de- mands upon the liberal arts college for more practical educational ideals we are not in sym- pathy. - ~FORUM] Letters published in this column should not be construed as expressing the editorial opinion of The Daily.

Recognize The True Diagnosis To the Editor: Many students appreciate the encouragement' given by The Michigan Daily to the attempts to form a Student Senate on campus for the free discussion of current problems. The need for such a body was amply demonstrated by your editorial' "Alternative to Chaos." Your editorial "Domination By Radicals" implies that radical leadership is bad. Radicals may dominate discussions of social problems, not be- cause of their organization or undue articulateness, but because they have the correct diagnosis and solution of current questions. Maybe truth is on their side. To the best of my knowledge groups such as the now defunct National Student League and 'he Student League for Industrial Democracy, and the existing Michigan Student Alliance wel- come students of all beliefs to their meetings so that any question may be amply discussed by having all viewpoints presented. The reason why their invitation to the more conservative students has been overlooked may be due to the fact that the latter are not too sure of their position. Such remarks as "Government - pitifully inadequate" and "College students, bewildered at the illogical- ities of poverty stricken age of plenty" in your edi- torial "Alternative to Chaos" seems to indicate that that is the true reason for radical domina- tion. Let lIs not damn leadership by the cheap polit- ical trick of calling opinions contrary to our own "Radical," "Communist," or "Bolshevik." Let us try to meet their challenge by intelligently mar- shalled facts. If in free discussion they have the better case, let us be broadminded enough to learn from them for, after all, that is what free dis- cussion is for. May the true side win. -harold Ross, Grad. 'Struggle' For 'Battle' To the Editor: The German nation will endure long after Hitler has become but a name in the textbooks, and her youth will be pursuing science and culture at Hei- delberg long after the Nazis have been forgotten. Which merely makes it difficult to understand why Mr. Abernethy and ex-Professor Levi should shout hysterically that attendance at Heidelberg's anni- versary celebration is tantamount to "embracing a new philosophy of totalitarianism, radicalism, and nationalism." Perhaps there is some confu- sion about the matter; it is Heidelberg's birthday party, not Hitler's, that we've been invited to help celebrate. In these times, when fanaticism is ram- pant there is all the more reason why we should honor a university whose history has been con- sistently one of liberal advancement, who contrib- uted to the reformation, and on whose doorstep I the German Revolution of 1848 was practically born. Let us not counter with hysteria and more fanaticism. There is no sinister "significance" in the fact that this anniversary comes at the same time that the Olympic games are being held in Germany, as Mr. Saul Kleiman suggested in a front-page article in the Saturday Daily. He quotes some British journal to prove that the date of the anniversary has been advanced a year. He might have written, a more reliable article had he first consulted the German encyclopedias in the library. The Univer- sity of Heidelberg was founded in 1386, it cele- brated its quincentenary in 1886, so everything is coming off according to tradition and schedule, and Saul Kleiman can ease his mind on that point. Now I am not a Hitler sympathizer and am heartily opposed to his principles, but in the in- terests of accuracy I would like to ask Professor- Emeritus Levi in his future letters to The Daily to translate the name of Hitler's book "My Struggle." Cassell's dictionary lists five English cquivaients for "Kanipf," but "battle" is not one of them. It is a minor point, I know, but I hope Professor Levi was not as careless in translating those excerpts from the book for the readers of The Daily. S AsO-rs See It [The Conning Tower] It seems to us that the Realty Advisory Board. if it is true that it is resuonsible for the delay in settling the strike, as the Mayor says that it is. is making friends for union labor at the rate of thousands of tenants a day. Most tenants who dwell or work in buildings whose elevators are operated by gentlemen who are new at elevator running, and who often appear unwilling to learn or incapable of learning are growing weary of gentlemen who cannot or will not even read numer'als.

For the telephone companies tell you that they have no record of calls. Your telephone lings; nobody on the line now, the operator says, although you answer at once. You ask what number it was that called; no information. And yet when there is a crime to be investigated, the company appears to be able to furnish records. Why not to subscribers? Sounds I have heard Thrushers singing after Rain. The Liquid Notes of Nightingales at Night. The Bitter Yearning of the dread Delight ( Of Muted Fiddles -- and the Mad Refrain Of Negro Music, beating on the Brain. The Sacred Serenade of Chanting Choirs In Dim Cathedrals, where the Soul aspires, Borne upward on the Heaven-seeking Strain. Laughter of Children happy at their Play, Rustle of Grasses when the Spring Winds blow, Roaring of Breakers as Tides ebb and flow, And tinkling Murmur of Fresh Waterway. All these have charmed my Ears -- but none has stirred My Senses, quite, as Cadenced Word on Word. COLIN KEITH-JOHNSON Another thmi Iithat we object. to in the ele- vat or strilke, though it was bad enough in the halcyon days of iormalcy, is the passenger who rides down one floor.

PULSIFER "Years ago," writes Old Bill Benet in the Saturday Review of Literature, "Harry Leon Wil- son wrote quite a funny novel about the nouveaux riches." You don't suppose that could have been "The Spenders"? A Washington BYSTANDER By KIRKE SIMPSON W ASHINGTCN, Malch 16. - There seems to be a tradition among the Kentucky Breckinridges for political "walkouts." Against his pesonal as well as the Breckenlidge background, the action of Col. Henry Br'eckinlridge in walking out on the Roosevelt administration to the extent of launching a boom of his own for the Democratic nomination is not surprising. Nor is his selection of Maryland as a state wherein to dem- onstrate without precedent. The colone once walked out on the Wilson administration. He was assistant secretary of war under Sec- retary Garrison and when the latter bolted the Wilson cabinet in the 1916 controversy over Garrison's "con- tinental army" idea as against the federalized national guard preferred by Congress, young Breckinridge went! along. ONG BEFORE THAT, however, another Kentucky Breckinridge, John Cabell Breckinridge, walked out on his party ticket although he was vice president at the time. That Breckinridge was nominated for the presidency at Baltimore by Demo- cratic seceders from the regular party convention which named Stephen A. Douglas to oppose Abraham Lincoln. The odd part of that 1860 contest was the way the popular and electoral votes were divided. Lincoln got 1,- 866,000 popular votes and 180 elec- toral votes. Douglas got 1,341,000 popular and 12 electoral votes. Breck- inridge got 874,000 popular and 72 electoral votes. He carried Alabama. Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mar'yland, Mississippi. North and South Carolina and Texas and ran second to Lincoln. Perhaps that bit of history figures in Col. Henry Breckinridge's seemingly for- lorn effort to prevent President Roosevelt's renomination.y S)U4VIORED willingness of the Su- promo Court to sit beyond the normal May date for closing the pres- ent term in order to expedite deci- sions on New Deal measures yet to be tested constitutionally might not be an altogether welcome note in some New Deal ears. With so important matters as the anti-utility holding company bill and the right of the government to loan states or munici- palities the money to set up power' distributing systems in this cate- gory, it remains to be seen whether the justice department attempts to take advantage of reported court willingness to trim a couple of weeks ofl the usual vacation period. The New Deal needs a rounding out of its TVA victory such as win- ning a test suit over loans to muni- cipalities would involve. If no effort to push such a test into the high court this term is made, however, the TVA decision will be the last word on the matter until after election. And between now and next October when the next Supreme Court term opens, almost anything could happen, even a change on the bench. TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 193Q VOL.
