GEARED TO NEW NEEDS: ThePost-War University ALUMNI WHO "go back to Michigan" for the 1946 Victory Reunion will find their University changed in many ways. Behind the familar fa- cade of buildings and campus, important underlying changes are taking place. With the war's end and the GI Bill, the nation's colleges and univer- sities have been faced with the problem of meeting the educational needs of thousands of young men who might never have been able to go beyond high school. Working with equipment and buildings necessarily taxed by the war period when replacement was impossible, the universities had to become flexible as they never were before, adjusting to a new level of mass education. At Michigan, the adjustment problem has been particulary severe. Lured by the University's national reputation for the best in the academic, sports and social fields, thousands upon thousands of veterans have applied for admission. In accommodating itself to this new demand, the University has become a basically different place. Records have been shattered all along the line. The fall enrollment here will be more than 18,000, an all-time high. The engineering and graduate schools have more students than ever before. Naturally, students are older, matured in differing degrees by their years in the service. There are many married students. With the increased enrollment, housing facilities have been especially taxed. Approximately 1700 students live nine miles from the campus in the Willow Village community. Near the Coliseum, some 70 married students have set up house-keeping in a temporary housing devel- opment. As fast as possible, the University has begun housing and class- room building programs, expanding to meet the need. But this has been a painfully slow process. In Ann Arbor as throughout the country, building materials and labor are at a premium. We have had to wait for priorities as well. During the waiting period, temporary measures have been put into effect. Dormitories are crowded, with extra students in every room. Classes are larger' than ever before.,There are more lecture courses, more night classes, rnore' graduate-student assistants. Personal contact. between student and professor has been cut to a regrettable minimum. On the other hand, standard 'have been raised a "C" average is now required for a student to remain; in school, with exceptions for only veterans.

The old nation-integrating con- tacts between Far West and East and South have become a thing of the past. To meet the needs of its largest student body, the University has changed. Alumni who graduated as recently as last year would find them- selves living in a. different world. More than ever before, the Alumni Reunion will be a sharp reminder of the disappearance of the old, -Milt Freudenhein Honors Program in Liberal Arts Promises Indtvdual A ttention JAG School Trained 2,684 During War Fall Term Grad School E nrollmen t To Top 2,000 h a * orie erC* During World War 11, the Graduate Bronze Plaque Awarded School residence enrollment dropped To 'U' for Services to a low of around 700 as compared Jude Avo Geer s with a peak1800senrolled in the pre- w ar years.

She said that this may indicate that many people who came in contact with science through working on the atomic bomb may be desirous of do- ing further work in the field. Mrs. Sullivan repeated, however, that the biggest responsibility of the Graduate School today is to provide more teaching fellows so that the faculty burden of teaching under- graduates may be decreased. Field Campus' Will Multiply U' Enrollment The University of the future will probably teach many times the num- ber of students who inhabit the cam- pus, by means of extension courses, according to Dr. Charles A. Fisher, director of the University Extension Service. Dr. Fisher says he wouldn't be sur- prised to see the day, very soon, when the ratio of off-campus to on- campus students would run as high as ten to one. Enrollment Leaps Dr. Fisher and his assistant, Ever- ett J. Soop, who is in charge of the Detroi.t center of the extension ser- vice, pointed to the fact that the Extension Service registered 13,500 students in the 1944-45 school year. while the enrollment a decade ago was only 3,500. The Extension Service attempts to give courses aimed at the needs of the people, Dr. Fisher emphasized. Demands range all the way from a request for a course for prospective home-builders through anrinstitute given annually for Detroit area fire- men to an amateur band and orches- tra which practices regularly at the Detroit center under the direction of University bandmen. The biggest task now, according to Dr. Fisher, is to round up faculty men and funds to set up classrooms in the field. Although the. idea of off-campus instruction is nothing new, he pointed out that it is an idea which is rapidly growing upon the people of this country, and has unlimited possibilities in an era of post-war development. The University School of Business Administration is planning to teach courses in Grand Rapids, giving stu- dents full credit toward degrees. While this is an emergency measure to relieve the crowded campus condi- tions, it is typical of the modern educational trend toward diffusing a state university over the whole state. At present the Extension Service has centers in Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Grand Rapids and Bay City. The opinion of some facultymen who have gone into the field, Soop pointed out, is that such a policy is dissolving the once popular notion of the ivory-tower isolation of a uni- versity.

During the war, USAFI courses were sent from the University to al- most 4,000 men and women in all branches of the service-the eighth largest enrollment in the country. Many of the students completed the courses in which they originally en- rolled and have elected new ones. Some of them are now continuing their education on the campus. Both high school and college cre- dit courses, including basic courses in languages, mathemathics, social studies and science, are listed by the department. Another wartime product of the, Correspondence Study Department is aid to veterans. Since January 1, the department has been providing courses to veterans under the GI Bill of Rights through a contract with the Veterans Administration in Washington, D.C. The department has 26 full or part time instructors, most of whom also teach on campus. of our chemistry, physics, and en- gineering students were engaged in research work for the government and cur records showed a higher than usual number of students en- rolled pa't time," Mrs. Sullivan staaed. She also pointed out that the for- eign representation changed in char- acter and that while formerly, Euro- pean students predomihated, during and following the war years students from China, India, Turkey and the Latin American countries have come to the University in increasing num- bers. "Now the enrollment is so large that few students except former students and students here on schol- arships can be admitted to the Grad- uate School from foreign countries," Mrs. Sullivan added. Present Trends Among the present trends. Mrs. Sullivan cited the increasing number of students who ar'e working for the doctorate, the marked interest in physical sciences as well as in the social sciences although to a lesser extent, and the request often made by students for recognition of Span- ish as one of the languages approved for the doctorate requirement. At the present time. French and German are the recognized languages. "It may also be significant," Mrs. Sul- livan said.

Modeled after the famed Oxford and' Cambridge plans, the honors program is based on individual work under the direction of a tutor. According to Prof. Stanley D. Dodge, director of the Board of Tu- tors, the honors program "does not train for particular jobs but devel- ops the individual per se." Students' enrolled in the program will attend no classes but will meet periodically with their tutors. Text- books will be unknown to the honors student, since he will be 'reading di- rectly from the sources of know- f~, 'R UMMER TIME: nd it's your chance to buy the gay nd colorful cottons that you have eamt of all winter.

He will write comprehensive examinations in his field of concentrated study and col- lateral fields and in his senior year will submit an essay on a subject se- lected by him in consultation with his tutor. As outlined by Prof. Dodge, the honors program offers the following advantages: 1. Individual work in the student's )wn line of interest. 2. Work in close association with a tutor. 3. Marked intellectual stimulus. Another advantage of the honors program described by Prof. Dodge is the doing away with the "course- ification" of knowledge where there is little continuity from course to course and little connection from depart- ment to department.
