Maurer of the journalism de- partment said recently. At present, there are twenty graduates working for their M.A. in journalism. Thirteen are in residence, completing the first two-year phase, and the rest are working on newspapers through- out the country. The graduate program was de- veloped in 1948. Previous to that, there had been a one-year pro- gram, which the student spent here, taking advanceddcourses in journalism. It was then extended ;to four years, the first two to be spent here, the remaining time working on a cooperating news- paper., Prof. Maurer feels that the added time' is essential. Defects in the undergraduate program, such as deficiencies in required courses, must be repaired; cul- tural interests which have been by-passed are advanced; and special courses in advanced journ- alism are scheduled. These special courses offer stu- dents the opportunity to make an intensive study of subjects useful in foreign news administra- tion, domestic interpretation of foreign affairs, foreign corres- pondence, and other similar sub- jects leading to administrative positions on the press. When this period of training is completed, the student may apply for intern work on leading United States newspapers. Reuben To Speak William Reuben, author of the controversial book, "The Atom ;Spy Hoax," will speak at 3 p.m. today at the Unitarian Church, 1917 Washtenaw. Reuben contends that all those convicted of stealing atomic sec- rets in Canada and the United States were innocent, convicted on fraudulent evidence. Group Will Discuss 'Intellectual Curiosity' By ETHEL KOVITZ The growning -national concern about the function and effects of higher education today has causect questions to be asked at the Uni- versity, too. As a result, a forum on "Does the Literary College Thwart Stu- dents' Intellectual Curiosity?" will be held at the League at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Sponsored by the Literary Col- lege Steering Committee, the con- ference will consist of a discus- sion between two students and two faculty members and an open forum. Forum Topic The forum topic stems partly from articles criticizing colleges and universities today and warn- ing of problems to come. These articles have been unusually fre- quent in magazines and news- papers within the past six months. It is impossible to criticize the actions of a university until the reason for those actions is de- cided, most of these authors agree. However, educators throughout the country disagree on the pur- pose of higher education. "The purpose of an academic institution is, or ought to be, to produce men of singular and ex- ceptional talent," Prof. Howard Mumford Jones, of the English department at Harvard, stated in a recent Atlantic Monthly article. 'Raise Level' On the other hand, Kenneth: Lindsay said in another article, when speaking of a liberal arts school, that "the primary aim is to raise the general education level of a society." The president of Miami Univers- ity in Oxford, Ohio, John D. Mill- ett, said recently, "Higher edu- cation has held to a definition of purpose which has placed intel- lectual ability and skill at its core . we have extended our defini- tion of intellectual development beyond that of any previous time or of any other society. Yet in this purpose of enlargement we are in constant danger of losing our intellectual rudder." Authors give a reason for their long look into the purpose of in- stitutions of higher learning and the extent to which these pur- poses are being accomplished. It is the increased enrollment in col- leges and the further increase predicted. More Top Students President Millett feels that there is no point in increasing the num- ber of people who go to college unless "we first increase the pro- portion of those of top ability who go to college." He also believes that the in- creased enrollment should notgo only to the publicly supported schools, but also to the privately endowed ones. In criticizing the diversity of universities today, President Mill- ett speaks of the university sur- rendering "any intellectual pre- tense whatsoever" and becoming "simply a way-station where youths spend four years, the main result of which is a postponement of entrance into the labor market." Prof. Jones is most concerned about the elective system used in most universities today. By not having a free elective system that allows a student to take courses only in his own field if he so de- sires, "we are postponing or ob- literating the expression of talent" as well as refusing to train him to make his own decisions. Linguistics Speech To Be Presented Prof. David L. Olmsted of the University of California at Davis will speak about "Linguistics and Ethnohistory" tomorrow in Audi- torium C, Angell Hall. His public lecture is sponsored by the an- thropology department. Lawsy! ESCANABA,, Mich. (A)-Har- old Stone, 49, came to Michigan to hunt rabbits and lost 32 bucks. Stone, a resident of Kevil, Ky., thought he could save $13 by giving a phony name and fake Michigan address to buy a $2 resident hunting license. The non-resident license costs $15. Stone was genial and chatty when stopped for a routine li- cense check by conservation officers Glenn Price and Robert Bezzi. But his southern accent roused their suspicions. Stone pleaded guilty to the fraud Friday before Justice of the Peace John Demay who fined him $32.. Fauri To Confer In Washington Dean Fedele F.

Scien e is knowing the way the world is put together. Prof. George Wald, professor of biochemistry at Harvard Univers- ity, stressed the importance of combining the study of science with the humanities in an inter- view yesterday. The professor, here at the Uni- versity for two weeks as consul- tant in biological sciences, feels the tradition of education changed a century ago. "We have two kinds of educated men now," the Harvard professor said, "amputated humanists and humanities-deficient scientists." The study of science, he believes, should be considered a humanity, where one learns the nature of the universe and how living dif- fers from the non-living. "Telling a child how a refriger- ator is put together will not in- terest him in the study of science. However, teaching him how the universe is created is teaching him science. Showing him how to apply his scientific knowledge is teaching him technology," Prof. Wald added. Stressing the importance for the educated person to combine science with his study of art, music and literature, Prof. Wald referred to Shelley, Milton and Tolstoy who all showed deep "un- derstanding of the scientific in their writing." 00."
