S. col leges and universities should offer only the courses they can pay' for and thereby give students a better education! This is the belief of Dr. Walter A. Jessup and the Carnegie Founda tion for the Advafenient of Teach ing which he heads. The founda tion's just-released annual report says of higher education today: "If the student is to pay for an ever-larger share of the cost of ed ucation, he has a right to expect the best job possible for the time and money he expends. In the long run he will surely expect more than publicity, football or even ivy-clad walls. "Scientific inquiries that have been made in recent years suggest that excellence of the college prod uct is not so much a function of college equipment or of diversified curriculum as of other things things that are much more simple and less expensive: Careful selec tion of staff, careful selection of stu dent body, a budget that is bal anced from the standpoint not only of the controller but of the student. "Many institutions are offering courses which they cannot afford. Some institutions have been forced to cut the slice so thin that they simply cannot compete with their neighbors on any satisfactory basis. While it is true that several hundred colleges give advanced degrees, one half of all the Master's degrees and 48 per cent of the Doctorates were granted last year by the thirty-two institutions composing the member ship of the Association of Ameri can Universities."

Professor Billy Woods of the Student Union Board expressed a hope that the service would be in effect by the end of Easter holidays. Unified Education Is Proposal Of Conant For Professionalists Med. Schools Sh6uld Admit Sophomores, Says Harvard Prexy Cambridge, Mass.-(ACP)-Ed uication should be liberalized by having the seven or eight year ed ucation of the p)rofessional man plannedl as a unit. This is the proposal of Harvard University's Pres. James Bryant Conant as "an attempt to get away from the 'pre-professional' i(lea in college." Specifically, he asks that the mied ical schools admit men provisionally in their second year on the basis of work done as freshmen. "After that," Pres. Conant ex plainedl, "the man could develop on a cultural pattern determinedl by the gradluate school and the college ad ministrators.' Such an arrangement would remove the impulse of the studlent to overconcentrate in the sciences in order to impress the gradluate school admission commit tee. It was understood that the sug gestions were equally applicable to the law school. "T'lhe Utopian Ideal", he con tinued, ''would be to extend the cul tural edlucation in the professional school by seminars and the like." Volum bia. 54$ P~ALME'Y( STATE I1FE INSURANCE Co.
