Abolition oi intercollegiate athletics.3. Progessive politics.4. Revision oi the College Plan.5. A chastened president.The University and SynthesisThe University in common with the rest ofAmerican higher education is badly confusedand in need of articulation. President Hutchinshas put this case beyond all dispute in TheHigher Learning in America. What is to be doneabout it? It is utopian to hope that the pro¬fessors and students of the University can everagree on a synthesis of knowledge adequate tothe restoration of cohesion and intelligibility toeducation. It is unjust for a single man orsmall group to impose a private synthesis onthe University. The University cannot hope, inother words, to lead in putting the reorganizededucation into practice.The University can, however, be a forcingbed for the intellectual formulation of the newsynthesis. The administration can facilitatethe formulation by insisting on the necessity ofre-orienting education as Hutchins has mag¬nificently done, and by encouraging, even in¬sisting on inter-departmental discussion of theprinciples of all knowledge, and the relationsof each particular specialty to the whole.Such faculty discussions would not result inconcensus within measurable time. The in¬ability of argument to convert is plain. Whatit would accomplish would be to stir a few ofthe faculty members from their vigorous at¬tempt to know all there is to know about amicroscopic subject. Some few professorswould realize that the mere information abouta subject is unimportant, if the subject is unim¬portant. Some few might realize that the onlysure claim a subject matter has to importancelies in its relation to and articulation with thegeneral body of knowledge. Some few might belead to devote time and thought to the properrelationship of their specialty to general knowl¬edge. From among these few, valuable contribu¬tions to the eventual articulation of knowledgemay come. Such a situation at least is farmore congenial to the intellectual articulationof knowledge than the present isolation of de¬partments and divisions, nay of individual pro¬fessors each burrowing for all he is worth inhis particular field, seeking only to know allthere is to know, i.e. gain all the informationthere is to acquire.The process demands the re-education ofmost of the professors. Unthinking specializa¬tion is an old vice and most of the professorsof the University are its victims.

Per¬haps the greatest step that could be taken to¬ward vigorous effort for articulation of knowl¬edge would be the requirement that every pro¬fessors pass the four survey courses with anA within two years. After thus getting a mini¬mum of information, training in philosophicconsideration would further be necessary, atraining which the faculty conferences them¬selves would have to impart.In view of the prerequisites for intellectualsynthesis, it is obvious that few would be will¬ing to attempt it. After all it is easier forprofessors also to drift along in establishedruts, and simply go through established mo¬tions. Most professors would politely decline totrouble themselves about anything outside theiraccustomed round, decline to rethink education.Interdepartmental conferences would thus be ameans to the awakening of a few, not themeans to consensus and establishment of a newsynthesis of knowledge in the courses of theUniversity. This is the limit of the University’spracticable effort toward an articulation of allknowledge adequate to ordinary experience,and to the special information and knowledgeof every field of specialization.SWEETNESS AND LIGHTBy LILLIAN SCHOENOF A TRANSCENDENTAL KINDEmmett Deadman is in Mr. Cate’s History 201 class.So is a young lady who Mr. Deadman finds very fas¬cinating.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1938 Page ThreePresident Publishes Third PostArticle; Asks “Why Go to College?”“Why Go to College?” .asks Presi¬dent Robert Maynard Hutchins in thethird of a series of four articles ap¬pearing in today’s issue of the Sat¬urday Evening Post.After enumerating who should notgo President Hutchins claims, “Any-cn’e should go to college who hasdemonstrated both an aptitude anda desire for more education than hehas been able to get in elementaryand high school. And I may add thatto deprive any such person of a col¬lege education because his parentscannot afford to give him one is tocommit an offense not only againstthe individual but also against so¬ciety at large.” i?]ducation Still Hard |President Hutchins states that it!has never been easier than it is today jto stay in college and be graduated. |"The only really difficult thing to do:is get an education. You can get an|education in college if you try. Butjyou must bring three things with you!l_a certain minimum intellectual!equipment, habits of work, and an in-1terest in getting an education.” IIn speaking of the members of his!own generation, he points out thatthey had not insisted on getting an;education, the college had not insistedon giving one, and in the end they;made the mistake of believing thatthey were educated. He warns, “Ifyou ignore your opportunity as weignored ours, the world may not letyou off as easily as it did us.”great number of our young peo¬ple go to college in the hope that such an education will enable them tomake more money. President Hutch¬ins explains, however, that a collegeeducation helps a student to earn aliving only to the extent that it pre¬pares him for the unpredictable vari¬ety of unpredictable experiences withwhich he may be confronted.College Place to ThinkPrimarily, he claims, “College is aplace to learn to think.” Furthermore,“You cannot be right without know¬ing what is right and what is wrong... nor can you be wise without be¬ing good. ..If the goal of life is hap¬piness, and if you cannot buy happi¬ness, you will seek it in wisdom andgoodness.. .One of the reasons ourage is bewildered and unmoral isthat we have tried to separate wis¬dom and goodness.’’President Hutchins is not convincedthat the new seriousness in Ameri¬can colleges is meritorious. He claimsthat is not so important to be seriousas it is to be serious about importantthings. “The monkey wears an ex¬pression of seriousness which woulddo credit to any college student, butthe monkey is serious because heitches.” He suggests that contem¬porary students are serious aboutmoney getting only.CLASSIFIED ADSHOUSE FOR RENT—10 rooms. 3 baths. 6717Hlarkstonp.
