It was forc¬ed upon him when he was shipwreck¬ed upon the shores of Greenland in1929.

Butfor some reason the scentific student is unable toview his ignorance of philosophy and art withany amount of alarm. He yearns to specialize,to limit his sphere of intellectual activity insteadof increasing it. The general movement of mod¬ern education has encouraged this narrowing ten¬dency; now, when the student is compelled toacquire a basis of general knowledge, he vigor¬ously opposes those who try to broaden his hori¬zon.The main purpose of a university education isnot to train pedants or technicians, but to fit thestudent to observe and appreciate life as a whole.Those undergraduates who protest against theHumanities survey are doing their stupid best toinjure their own intellectual life, and, what is farmore important, to pervert the ideas behind theUniversity and the new plan. There can be nofitter motto for the university life than that ofthe Renaissance Humanists, “Nothing human isforeign to us.”—G. M. Lettersto theEditorNight Editor; David H. KutnerAssistant: Raymond Lahr DISCOURTEOUSTREATMENTThe writer of Tuesday’s editorial in The DailyMaroon, entitled Some Proof of Progress and' di¬rected at the Board of Examiners, was discourte¬ously rebuffed by Professor Louis L. Thurstone,Chief Examiner, when he attempted to get Tburs-tone’s point of view to state it along with his ar¬gument in the editorial.Said Professor Thurstone: “If you want toshoot off your mouth about it, go ahead.”We offer this fact without comment to theUniversity campus, faculty, and administrationJ. P. B.Thursday, December 7, 1933NEW PLAN“HUMANISM”One of the major reasons for the adoption ofthe New Plan was the conception of the broadereducation it promised to give undergraduates,hour survey courses were planned to provide afoundation of general knowledge necessary for in¬telligent conduct of life.Instead of nibbling away at the fringe of learn¬ing in the traditional collegiate manner, the stu¬dent was given a framework into which could befitted all specific facts that would be acquiredlater. Particular emphasis was placed upon theHumanities general course, because of the culturalbackground it provided for those whose educa¬tional interests lay in scientific fields.There are many faults in the methods and thematter of the Humanities survey; no one admitsit more freely than the gentlemen who plan andteach the course. Due to the fact that the highschools neglect to teach world political history inany adequate manner to the pre-college student,the Humanities course places too much emphasisupon this necessary fundamental branch of learn¬ing. As a consequence, too little attention is paidto the intellectual and aesthetic history of the hu¬man race.But, in spite of the fact that this course is thesole contact with philosophy and the arts thatmost students will have, many of the pre-scienti-fic students regard the Humanities general coursewith unmitigated disgust. They see it only as aparticularly unreasonable hurdle which has beenplaced in their path by the inscrutable whims ofeducators. They honestly and sincerely believethat the study of Greek art—inadequate as it is—forms a needless obstacle to the attainment of Itheir academic goal. They dispose of the Human¬ities course with the least possible expenditure ofthought and attention which will get them by thecomprehensive examination; they fly from this ir-reduceable minimum of culture as they fly fromthe idea that they might be different from theirfellows. 1 heir intellectual world is completelycontained within the walls of the laboratory.As a result, they become no more fit to minglein civilized society than mechanics. By avoidingeven the semblance of culture, they may possiblybecome better scientis‘:s; they will certainly be¬come worse men.Our ancestors may have been unprofitablyoverdrilled in the classics, but, as a result, theyacquired a broader conception of life and a bet¬ter appreciation of other ways of thinking thando modern university students.The vicious ignorance of scientific education, itsinsensitivity toward the whole of human life isbecoming more and more obvious. The state¬ments of certain famous scientists regarding ev¬erything from the philosophy of life to liquor con¬trol may be cited as horrible examples of the in- I The Travelling Bazaarl, I By SIDNEY HYMAN |! ILL DUCE i’_ IKitty Garlick, whose sister Mary Anne took a |trip through Italy with the family of a laxative •king (a bloated plutocrat—Phoenix, June 1933 p. II /1, informs us that Mussolini is a great man.j “What’s more,” says Kitty, “he’s a great planner,j with great foresight. Why, on one street that has! just been opened, there is a convent and a mon-! astery, and sandwiched in between them is an or-j phan asylum.” Mr. John P. Barden, Editor,My dear Sir:It is always a healthy sign whencollege undergraduates show them¬selves possessed of the courage torise up and tell their professorial el¬ders “where to get off at.” But it isa still better sign when, in place ofthe sophomoric bumptiousness thattoo often passes for courage, theyshow themselves possessed of the sa¬ving wit to realize that there aresome things about which the profes¬sors—benighted lot of fellowsthough they be in all else!—must bepresumed to be a little wiser thanthemselves. Such, I venture to sug¬gest, may be the truth in this mat¬ter of “bootleg grading” about w’hichyou have been venting so much edi¬torial indignation of late.As an exhortation to your read¬ers to prefer the “substance” of aneducation to the mere “show,” youreloquent insistence upon the “sub¬tle difference betw'een learning andbecoming educated” is deserving ofevery one’s praise. Education is in¬deed all that you call it, the day today growth in knowledge and un¬derstanding, the ripening to matur¬ity of all one’s inner-resources. Somuch be it granted. And I have nodoubt that many students are fartoo prone to mistake the “grade”for the “education.” But on theother hand there are no small num¬ber who need to be frequently re¬minded that an education so pure¬ly individual and subjective as toresist every occasion for objectivedemonstration is a vwy otiose sortof education indeed. Genuine edu¬cability includes the power to organ¬ize one’s knowledge and to employit in the intelligent control of ob¬jective situations. The power to dothis is the function that is meas¬ urable, at least within the broadlimits of accuracy demanded by theA-B'-C system of grading. Even thei S-U-R system is forced to discrim¬inate between a low pass and a hi^hfail, and yet in reality no greater in¬trinsic difference holds there thanbetween any two grades in the A-B-C scale.Moreover, I dispute your state¬ment that grades “are opposed bythose who are really being edu¬cated.” It is my observation that astudent must be the extremest kind 'of introvert if he has not the aver-!age person’s need of some indica- Ition of his progress objective to and ;corrective of his own individual feel¬ings. How’ many a naive soul hasclung pathetically to his own fondillusions of progress only to find at ilast that he was merely spinning ;circles in a self-generated vacuum IjIs it not usually the least educable jindividuals who are the most easilypersuaded of their own progress? !Students who are truly educable are ;not nearly so apt to rest content iwith merely inner signs of growth;'they demand the more unbiased as¬surance of external evidence, as sup-,plied by examinations and the im¬partial estimates of their instruc-!tors. They strive to earn goodgrades, not from any childish de.sireto “shine,” and not from any mis-1taken notion of their real signifi-,tance, but because they know that 'an education is only half-completeif it lacks the means of giving ob¬jective proof of itself. The bestfruits of a good education, I willsay, ripen within the student’s ownmind, and appear to others only inwords and actions.

Added to this, Howard (Gottschalk, another ineligible, may]pa.«s Spanish and join the squad be-!fore the conference season opens, jIt is further expected that Pyle, jOppenheim, and Ray Weiss will icombine their much needed talentto the team’s by the beginning ofnext quarter. And Bill I^ng, quitea basketball player in his own rightand very much eligible, will prob- -ably recover from an injured shoul-!der before the end of the quarter. :.Meanwhile Nels Norgren is at- ;tempting to mold the material athand into a temporary stop-gap un-,til he knows exactly what men will ibe eligible. Of those men on thesquad at present the two guards, IKaplan and Wegner, stand out. Weg- iner, a “C” man and regular of la.styear, is the outstanding choice forthe .squad captaincy, which will ,probably be decided before the end ,of the quarter. ;Gordon Peterson, who is begin- ining to fit in on the basketball floor,after reporting late because of foot- jball, will probably shape up as themost capable center on the squad.Kldred.

The former alsointends to run the 70 yard lowhurdles and will be pushed by twomore grid stars, Berwanger andSmith. The high timbers will alsosee the all-conference back and BartSmith competing in addition toPhelps, a transfer from Washingtonand Jefferson.The middle distances, which mayprove to be the biggest point win¬ners, find Captain Cullen, Perils,Sills, Smith and Phelps in the quar¬ter and Maynard, Nicholson, Fair-bank and perhaps Cullen and Sillsin the 880. In the mile, Lowrie, For-tess, Flodin and Rapp will fight itout for .supremacy, and most of thesesame distance runners will competeover the two mile route.Jay Berwanger, a possible decath-alon entry in the next Olympics, willperform in practically every fieldevent.
