which make education at Bryn Mawr
expensive are the very factors which
we value most and wauld not want
to give up. ‘
Certainly we can not go beyond a
certain point in asking outsiders to
bridge the gap of the deficiency in the
budget. So the Directors decided that
from now on it would be better for the
students to bear.a larger portion of the
expense ghan heretofore. Of course
this might mean that we would come
to be regarded as a “rich girl’s col-
lege.” This danger the Board of Di-
rectors has met by providing for the
appointment of a new officer to visit
schools to explain the policy of the
college to them and to assure them
that scholarships or adjustments in the
scale of fees will be available for those
students whom we wish to have here
but who‘are not able to meet the in-
creased cost. Future increases in_tui-
tion will take place very gradually and
may not even affect the students now
“in college. Studies are to be made
before it is decided how high the tui-
tion fee must eventually be placed.

This increase in fees will only mean
that the total cost for students in in-
expensive rooms will be about on a
level with that at Vassar, Smith and
Mt. Holyoke. The importance of this
new policy is that it makes. it possible
to look ahead and plan for improve-
ments which will allow the college to
take part in the progressive educational
movements of our era. Women’s col-
leges must keep pace with the heav-
ily gifted and highly endowed men’s
colleges .... “And it is only by put-
ting our financial policy on a sounder
footing than inthe past,’’ concluded
Mrs. Manning, “that Bryn Mawr can/|
hope to keep its place in the educa-

_tional world.” ;



i Marriage Is Mere
Sideline for Co-Eds



University co-eds consider marriage a
mere sideline to their real profession, it.}
was proved by _ vocational statistics
gathered from women of organized houses
at the University of Oklahoma. Of the
400 from whom reports were obtained,
only 11 listed marriage as their aim in
life.

Everything from aviation to housewife
was included on the lists ‘which were
presented to the girls asking them to
number their choice of ten possible voca-
tions and to add to the list any profes-
sion not already noted.

Come what will, the idea of being a
school teacher still holds its own inthe
minds of co-eds who look forward to
future livelihood. Seventy-eight women
placed some phase of public school teach-
ing as first choice. Of these, 45 preferred
high school positions. . —

Fifteen girls aspire to jobs as foreign
buyer for merchandise dealers. Eight
would be experts in women’s fashions.
All types of art work ranked high, with
interior decorating and designing each
listed by 13. Six women would be doc-
tors and six;surgeons. — o

Any phase of writing also appeals to
the feminine idea of work, according to
the figures. Thirteen would be featiiré
playwrights, 13 dramatic critics, and 12
feature writers for newspapers and maga-
zines. ,

That women are still broadening their

. field of occupation is skewn in the sug-
gestéd work not on the list. Oil geolo-
gists, archeolegists,-secret service women,
and lease brokers will evidently come‘
from .the group .of- women at the uni-
yersity.—McGill Daily.



To Sift Student Failures
At Rutgers University



Special to The New York Times.
‘New Brunswick, N. J., Feb. 14—A
special committee was appointed today
y Dr. Walter T. Marvin, Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences at Rut-
gers University, to study the cause_of
the unusual number of failures in the
recent. mid-terms, ~ particularly in the
freshman class. The faculty approved
the Via st ot

The survey was asked by the student
council, “not in any .attempt to lower the
scholastic standard” in the college, but
to_determine whether the faculty had
not been too severe in. marking the ex-
amination papers. Most of the- failures
were in mathematics, physics and for-

- eign languages, but the faculty members

maintained ‘that the courses are no more |

difficult now than they were last year.—

_ Entrants Immature
_ Students entering €ollege today-are “as
immature morally.zand as crude socially
as they are undeveloped intellectually,”
Dean Herbert E. Hawkes, of Columbia
College, declared recently in a lecture at
the McMillin Academic Theatre. The
lecture, on the subject of college ad-
ministration, was one of a. series ar-
ranged in connection with the one hun-
dred and*seventy-fifth anniversary of the
university.
“If this is true,” the dean continued,
“it is a.condition, not a theory, that con-
fronts us. If the college is ative to its
duty it must recognize the human condi-
tions that. actually face it and deal with
them. Discipline should be approached
today from the angle of moral education
of the individual rather than of his pun-
ishment.”
Dean Hawkes, criticizing antiquated
ideas of discipline, said that many col-
leges had not been “penetrated” by an
educational idea for twenty-five years.

Dean Hawkes devoted much of his
lecture to discussion of the trends™of
college athletics: today. The “athletic
hysteria,” as he termed it, will die out
slowly but surely, he ‘maintained and will
take a westward course, finally “passing
out into the Pacific Ocean.”

In stipport of this prediction Dean.
Hawkes said that in many of the Eastern
colleges undergraduate interest in ath-
letics had become “distinctly dampened.”
Twenty-five years ago, he said, under-
graduate interest was the. chief suppért
of intercollegiate sport. With this inter-
est eliminated they become popular spec-
tacles and gradually lose their identity
with the college, he declared.

In place of the present system Dean
Hawkes predicted a _faculty-controlled

| policy which will make of athletics and

physical-education—-an—integral--part~of
the. educational_function—of the college
and accept responsibility for the physi-
cal, just as the college now does for the
intellectual, development of its students.

with the ending of the present academic
term. The object of the course was to
foster student initiative and, at the same
time, was a step forward in. the. four-
course upper-class plan of study at

Professor Smith placed the burden of
the work on the students, who had to
rely on their own examination of au-
thoritative material to cover the work.
No: textbooks were ‘ised.

ing out the new plan Professor Smith
Lformed eight committees and appointed
a member of each committee as chairman
of his ‘group. The chairman acted as
points of contact among the committees
and Professor Smith.

The work was done ‘co-operatively,
each of the eight committees having spe-
cial problems to report on. All the com-
mittees met each week, two at a meet-
ing, when a group member would read
his report, which was then discussed.
With the Completion of the individual
reports, each committee then met and
drafted resolutions concerning. the com-

opinions of the students as arrived at

tees were then read to the members of

The greatest need of American educa-
‘ion, according td the youth-ul president
of Chicago University, Robert ‘Maynard
Hutchins, is more money for faculty
members to “make education respectable
and to enable colleges and universities to
compete with business for the nation’s
best minds. :

“In the past twenty-five years,” he
says, “the best minds of America have
been drawn. into — business. Hence, -
American. education faces a new prob-
lem in competition—competition with big
business for the best men. If you spread
$t00,000,000 over all the worthy colleges
in the land you might increase each pro-
fessor’s salary as much as $1.34. You
might as well throw the money in the '
lake. But spend it on the key uniyersi-
ties and you will develop peacemakers
that will revitalize American education.”
