Cambridge, Mass., July 21.-(By A.
')-Co-operation between national
ocieties representing cpllege teachers
n the one hand and college admins-
rative officers on the other as a
teans of arriving at a better under-
tanding and better methods in Am-
rican colleges and universities was
uggested by Prof. Harry W. Tyler,
ead of the mathematics department
it the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
ology and secretary of the Amer-
an Association of University Pro-
essors.'
,Referring to the recent enforced re-
ignation of Pres. Alexander Meikel-
ohn of Amherst college and the resig-
ation of several Clark university pro-
essors accompanied by statements7
rofesting against the methods of
'res. Wallace W. Atwood, he says:
Amherst Case Not Merely Local
"These events cannot be regarded
s merely local in their significanpe
,uite regardless of the faults or mer-
.$ of individuals is there not reason
o infer that the events are merely7
ymptoms of some more fundamental
efecf in the organization of our high-
r institutions?"
The four groups involved in unit
ersity management. Prof. Tyler says
re the trustees, the faculty, the alum-I
i and the undergraduates. The trus-1
es are usually "somewhat averse
o innovation." Members of the fc-
Ity "may have, become critical rath-
r than constructivev or co-operative."
'o a certain faction of the ahmni1
athletic victries are the chief aim.
;d glory of alma mater." The un-1
ergraduates are "eager for new ideas
nd leadership, not always just in<
heir sense of proportion as to "activ-
Ges" and scholarship and liable to be'
ploited by those most interested in
>mmercial athletics.
Business and Education Mix
Remarking that the college pres-
lent is expected to make more or less'
accessful appeal to all these groups,
rofessor Tyler says
"There are probably such super-
len (if not in presidentil captivity)<
ut the chance of discovering one for
iven place is well nigh negligible.
ie difficplties which arise are maml'
lac to the fact that the business n-
gement and the educational conduct
an institution continually qverlap.
( numberless matters of great im-
ortance best results require co-op-
ration of trustees and faculty or of
oth with alumni.
"Under present conditions in this
ountry each institution is a law unto
self. Interesting and valuable ex-
eriments are easily tried here and
here but with no certainty of perm-
nence or imitation.
l'ational1 Movenen Necessary
"T The way out to a better unde-
tanding and better ethd t ees-s
arily lies ultimately with the indiv-
dual college but mnucm will depend
n organized and concerted action.
'le possibility of this now rests in
uch national societies as the Amer-
can Association of University Profe-
ors on the one hand, representing the
glleg teachers, and the Association
f American Colleges, the Association
f State Colleges, et., on the other,
(Continued to Page Four)
When Great Britain was engaged in
the ;World war and every able man in
the empire was called upon to take
up arms, India responded, to the de-
mand of the "mother country" in ev-
ety respect. Agitation for independ-
ence and freedom from the shackles of
law which had held her for the pre-f
ceeding 60 years, was forgotten. I
During the Ave years of war 1,200,-
000 native Indians were enlisted and
the provincial government conrtribut-
ed $740,000,000 towards the cost of
carrying on the cqnflict. In apprecia-
tion of the aid in men and money,
which the province furnished, the
British parliament, upon recommend-
aton of a special commission, passed
the Reforms Act of 1919. India had'
been promised complete'independence
"by and by" dring the war and the,
newly made act way expected by the
Indians to fjl~jl the promise to
some extent as least. Not only'has
the Indian pegple failed to gain in-
dependence but absolutely no gain
in control of its own government has'
been made as a result of the meas-
ue.
The Reforms Act was expected to
give rights to India which might be
psed to repeal mesures which had
been passed dprIng the preceding de-
cage and which had been the seat of
the agitation aroused among the peo-
ple. Foremost among these measures
were the Sediious Meeting Act of 1907,
the Newspaper Incitement Act of 1908,
the Tpdian Defense Act of 1917, and
the Rowlatt Act which followed the
Indian Defense Act in 1919. All of
these acts wlichlhad checked the na-
tives from any demonstration of free
will or any tteoppt at expression of
individuality had been passed by the
Imperial Council of he province at a
time when the peqgpe were represent-
ed by a mingrity i tle national legis-
lative body. Most of the acts were op-
posed by the Uldian members of the
council and the Rowlatt Act was un-
animously opposed by the native rep-
resentatitves.
l A first glance, the Reforms Act
which provided for a majority of na-
tive representatives in both-the pro-
vincial legislatie bodies, seemed to
give the native members of the coun-
cils power to repeal th eoppressive
measures, and to give the Indian
people a certain amount of real in-
dependence. A thorough examination
of the document howeer, showed such
a vast Lumber of reservations that
the majorities of native members in
the legislative bodies were as help-
less as they would have been in a min-
ority.
Reservations which bind the Indian
majorities made by the British goy-
ernment, are contained in three see-
tions of the Reform bill. In explain-
ing the true meaning of these reser-
.vations and the power which they give
to the representatives of Great Brit-
ain it is necessary to outline the pol-
itical organization of the province.
The entire country is divided up in-
to provinces, each of which has a sep-
arate privincial council under the su.
pervision of a governor appointed by
the British pariament. The majorityy
of the members of the provincial coun-
cils are elected by the people while
the remaining members are appointed
by the governor and compose a dis-'
tinct body. The national assembly,
known as the Imperial council, is
made up of representatives from the
various provincial councils, together
with a group of men appointed mem-
bers who are in minority and who
Qompose the Council of State.
In further provisions of the Re-
forms bill, the Copncil of State, the
provincial governors, and the gov-
ernor general hold what amounts to
absolute power. The following pass-,
age from4 the Iteforms Act is uninis-l
takble in it§ significence,
,,Bills require the sent of both chain-
berg, exceput that bills essential to 1
the interest o fpeace and order or
good government which the assembly
refuses to pass, certified by the gov-
ernor-general in council, may be en-1

the purpose of organizing the adher-

The University of Michigan joined
the movement largely through the in-

as Rhodes scholar in Oxford held the
position of president of the Oxford

the faculty advisory council includes
such names as H. B. Hutchins, presi-

A tag day will be held Wednesday,
for the benefit of the University Fresh
Air camp now in session on the new
camp site at Patterson lake. With
the third section of the camp now half
through, those in charge see danger
of suspending, or at least curtailing
the activities of the fourth session

funds are obtained.

ready afforded an outing for close to
400 poor boys from various cities
throughout the state, is in need of
$400 to carry on the work. This
amount will be aimed at in the com-
ing tag day,
Camp Expenses Heavy
Expenses at the Fresh Air camp
have been heavy, according to a state-
ment yesterday. Every advantage fort
the boys to enjoy themselves and
learn as much of the out-of-doors as
possible has been given. Managers
at the camp estimate the Bost of run-
ning at one dollar per day per boy,
which cost inolvd'es everything from
transport tioa to the camp to the
small incidentals which arise when
l;e youngsters are at their place of
outing.
Tle' fourth section of the camp,
w hiek will start next week, will be,
greatly curtailed in activities, it was
declaredl yesterday, if 'a! sum was
not raised to care for the 120 boys
who will attend that session,- For
this reason, a tag day has been set,
and University stucdents and friends,
who have maintained the camp under
the directing auspices of the Students
Mwristian association, will be solicited
for contributions for the carrying on
of the work.
