Haverford Finds Expansion Of Student
Body Over “Optimum 450” Inadvisable

by Rita Rubinstein
- Several months ago we reprinted
from the Haverford News an
editorial, “Thoughts on Admis-
sions,” that called for consideration
of a different method of selecting
students—“a method which would
give greater weight to the person
with scholarly interests and which
would preserve the ‘raison d’etre’
of the small liberal arts college

“We are disturbed by recent re-
ports in Time Magazine that all
colleges and universities. are, in
tightening their admissions stand-
ards, combing high schoolurbia for
‘whole men.’

“The basic point is that the type
of entering class one expects to
attract is almost complementary to
the size of the institution. That is,
we may be faced with the choice

which elected to remain small and/of keeping our current admissions

buck the pressures’ to expand and
educate a growing crop of ‘whole
men’.” Now Haverford begins a
series of reflections on the future
of the college—in this instance its
size. It should be noted that last
year with the approval of a 10%
increase in our own enrollment, the
college hoped to maintain its “in-
tegrity” while answering this
“national pressure to expand.” The
essence of the recent Haverford
editorial is printed below.

“We are not number worshipers.
We attach no magical power to the
figure 450. Yet we submit that a
figure ‘somewhere around’ this one
should continue to be regarded
as the optimum size of the student
body.

’STpis is not mete uegimaws -Be-

sertion on our part; it comes only
after our consideration of all
factors which enter into the deter-
mination of a College’s enrollment
size—factors as diverse as endow-
ment;physical plant, goals of the
‘invisible College,’ faculty wishes,
population increases, our ‘duty’ to
educate the coming generations,
and our ‘duty’ to the academic
community at large.



standards and increasing the en-
rollment so that we may continue
to attract the same type of student
or in deciding to keep the college
enrollment at the same level, evolv-
ing a ‘new set of admissions
criteria.

“And a larger student body
brings one to consider the problem
of student-faculty ratio. Will the
number of faculty increase as the
student body expands? Or will a
greater student load per faculty
member help to relieve.the finan-
cial pressure on the College and
obviate any need for tuition and
board increases?

“And the question also arises:
If Haverford chooses to remain
small, can it. attract the capable
ton-flicht. facultv it is now en-
joying or will outstanding men be
lured by offers from larger insti-
tutions and industry?

“As we enter -this discussion,
we are fully aware that we do not
have all the answers. Indeed others
may be able to point out many
fallacies, errors, and examples of
hazy thinking. We welcome such
correction; the future of the Col-
lege is at stake.” a

the total average.

Seven of the 22 students work-
ing in stores last summer sold in
stores of all kinds, from a board-
walk drug store to a resort gift

lege Shops which are increasingly
popular at large stores. Many of
them select the students for looks
and personality so that they may
model the clothes they sell. The
average for all selling—$391—was
quite a bit higher than in 1955.
Laboratory and technical posi-
tions are more and more available
to science and mathematics majors.
Recruiters coming to the college
to interview seniors for perman-
ent jobs will often talk to a few
juniors or even sophomores about
possible opportunities for the sum-
mer. The Federal Government of-
fers student trainee programs
open to all classes and majors in
all sciences, for work in various
agencies and departments; and
hospitals and medical research in-
stitutions often hire undergradu-
ates as laboratory technicians. The

earnings—$803—were far above|..

those for any other kind of sum-
mer job. \
Hospitals have an increasingly
large number of paid positions
available as well as the volunteer.
Some offer a short Nurses’ Aide
training course followed by a paid
job. Office work and recreation

programs for the patients are al-|_

ways possible.
Each spring calls flood the Bu-
reau from mothers wishing stu-

that summer work is all volunteer.
The other ten miscellaneous po-
sitions were one of a kind and ran
the gamut from a guest editor. on
Mademoiselle to a candy counter
girl in a movie theatre. One work-
ed in a photographic studio; one
ushered at a summer concert ser-
ies; one managed the checkroom
at a community swimming pool;
one modeled; one acted as postmis-
tress in a medical school; one work-
ed in a factory; one made jewelry;
and the tenth sorted in an Army
laundry. Some of these students
showed ingenuity in finding a job
and unusual willingness to take
whatever presented itself.

Faculty, Alumnae
Works Published

Several Bryn Mawr faculty mem-
bers and alumnae recently made
contributions to the new publica-
tion list. Geddes MacGregor, Pro-
fessor of philosophy and religion,
has written The Vatican Revolu-
tion, while José Ferrater Mora,
Professor of Spanish and philoso-
phy has’ contributed Ortega y Gas-
set.

Germaine Brée, a former facul-
ty member, wrote An Age of Fic-
tion, The French Novel from Gide
to Camus together with Margaret
Otis Guiton, Bryn Mawr class of
39.

MacGregor’s Vatican Revolution
gives the background of the doc-
trine of papal infallability, “the
death knell of the democratic ele-
ment in the Roman Catholic tradi-
tion.” Ferrater Mora presents an
analysis and criticism of the phi-
lospohy of Ortega y Gasset. The
Brée-Guiton book is concerned with
the development of the modern
French literary movement, tracing
it through the work of 20 novelists.
