Car- rothers of Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida, who lectured on "The Rolins Plan of College Instruction' yesterday afternoon in the Natural Science auditorium. "Therefore," he continued, "a system by which we could eliminate large classes and in- aquaintance with the instructors was desirable." Dean Carrothers described the me- thod which has been in use at Rollins since last September and which is known as the "Two Hour Conference Plan." He stated that the purpose underlying this plan is to bring the student and the professor into the closest possible touch in the working hours of the day. The student's even- ings are leisure time, although he must be in bed by ten. Stress Physical Development His afternoons are to be spent in some sort of physical recreation, a principal aim of the college being to promote sound physical health. Class cuts, final examinatins, and compul- sory attendance at chape]l have been abolished. "We wish," concluded Dean Carrothers, "development that can be understood and measured. We be- lieve that we are on the right road." At the beginning of his lecture, the Dean traced the history of Rollins col- i Lege from the time of its founding in! 1883 by the Congregational church to the present day, stating how two years ago Hamilton Holt, then editor of "The Independent," was tendered the presi dency by the board of the college, the action being instigated by Irving PfA Review, by Joseph E.

Presumably the moment is fast ap proaching when either some solutioi must be discovered or the delegate must separate to permit further re flection. Nevertheless, the plehar3 session has been convoked for 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to per mit of a summing up of the situation as far as it has gone. Discusion Appears Futile The principal delegates shave gone over the same problems in the same atmosphere so often that today it was decided to foregather in a villa ust outside Geneva. The hope was expressed that the new environment would inspire new remedies. How- ever, a long exchange of views, char- acterized by both frankness and cour- esy, failed to result in any progress, cording to reliable information. On behalf of the Japanese delega- ion, Viscount Ishii made perfectly lear Japan's determination not to ac- ept a high level for cruiser tonnage. n doing so, however, he followed the apanese position of couching diffi- ult things in polite phrases.

The Angerican delegation is less disposed than ever to accept a maximum of 400,000 tonsl because of Japan's opposition to it. Considerable mystery enshrouds to- morrow's public session.

The number of persons who went on the Ford trip was 75, said Mr. Wells, most of the party going in two chartered busses and the remainder in private automobiles. a mDuring the two-hour visit to the factory, which is chiefly used for the conversion of raw materials, thespar- ty, inspected almost every phase of I plant activity with the exception of the body plant. Experienced guides led the party around the plant. First the visitors had a general view of the fac- # tory from a height of more than 100 feet. Then the blast furnaces were shown.

This is a special fea- ture of the Ford method of casting,, for instead of casting the metal into pigsandstaking them to the molds, the molds are brought..to the molten metal.

"The Student Prince" which opened the Shubert-Lafayette nearly two years ago and remained there for thirteen weeks for its first engage- ment in Detroit, was the runner-up.
