A New College! A New Swimm ing Pool

1962 COMMENCEMENT HE Class of 1962 did no t hear the usua l clid1es. They were not told they were the hope of the world, the knigh ts in shin ing armor who wou ld slay all the dragons and save the world from evil, particularly the evil of Communism . Instead they heard two give 'em hell speeches by men who once played football for the U. of R. The baccalaureate speaker Clyde T. Francisco, '39, couched h is estimat e of today's generation in words appropriate for the pu lpit , but adding up to a dign ified equiva lent of " no guts ." The following evening R. Nevitt Sanford, '29, was unh appy not on ly about the younger generation but about colleges in genera l which, he said, are do ing a p retty poor job, judging fro m the products they are turn ing out, namely, the alumni . H is judgme nt did not come as a surp rise, however, since it echoed the findings of his controve rsial book, T he American College, which had won headlines fr om coast-to-coast. In addition to N evitt , three oth er members of the Sanford clan- T aylor, '29 ; Jack, ' 39, and Kerfoot - were on hand and pose d w ith N evitt for newspap er photograp hers. D esp ite Dr. N evitt 's criti cal comments , most of his hearers term ed the speech provocat ive and timely and we re in agreement that there shOLtld be more education fo r adu lts beyond th e college years, that there must be fou nd some way to prevent so many college gra duates fr om digg ing rut s and then falling int o them. H eartily appro ved wa s hi s "utop ia" of "e ducation for all the people, education of all of each pe rson fo r member shi p in all the world " and "education durin g all of a person's life ." A lumni heard with appr eciation h is words

of respect for the classroom titans of hi s own day, a list that was headed, of course, by Samuel Chil es M itchell . H is comments were inte rpreted as a back-handed compliment to the program of liberal arts education at the University of Richmond. During h is undergra duate days on th e Richmond College campus, he said, he was confronted with "the constant invitation to learning without the fantastic pressure and lock-step that today characte rize our most prestigeful institutions. There was a great diversity in the student body and because there was freedom for some students to do very badly , there was also freedom, and the oppo rtunity, for some students to be excellent." T hi s he termed "a sharp contrast with the insistence upon me diocrity that is the present ord er of the day in most places." Both he and Dr. Fra ncisco were unh appy about the attitudes of students on college campu ses. Fra ncisco, pro fessor of Old T esta-

ment Interpretation at Southern Baptist Theolog ical Seminary, said the present generat ion is lacking in courage and pre fers "to surrender rather than to figh t and be hurt. " He told the graduates that "to lose disgraces no man, but to play the coward is without excuse." D r. Sanford, professor of psycho logy at Stanfo rd University, made no references to courage or the lack of it but he was outspoken ly concern ed about what he termed the "instability" or "upsetness" of the seniors on college campuses throughout the country which he had exam ined in connect ion with his study of The Am erican CoLLege. Many seniors we re rea lizing fo r the first time, he said, that they woul d have "to make decisions," and "commit themselves in ways that seemed irr eversibl e."

Th e barb ecue sup pe r near Mi llhiser Field, pr esided over by "Pro f" Alton W illi ams, was the ungual ified success that had been exp ected. Th e ribs were succulent and ther e were pl enty of second s ( and thirds) fo r hun gry alumni. Th e "pop s" concert by the comb ined men's and women's glee clubs put a delightful icing on the cake. Com m i tt ee m emb er s wh o h ad worr ied wh eth er the alumni would stay for th e Saturday night musi cal had to worr y abou t finding seats for t h e ov er flow cro wd . Eve ry seat in the chapel Dr. Mathe ws was filled and there were some standees . Man y W esthamp ton alumn ae joined the men fo r th e barb ecue and the concert.

What About -This New Mathematics? By E. SHERMAN GRABLE

AD-Mom, are you having troub le-or shou ld I say more than the usual amount of troub le-w ith Ju n ior's arith met ic or algebra homework these days? When he asks you why 10 p lus 10 equals 100, do you (a) te ll h im that he has obviously miscop ied h is assignment? (b) bury yourself in th e even ing paper and pretend that you didn't hear him? ( c) reach fo r the aspir in bottle, mutte ring imprecations upo n teachers, espec ially mathematics teachers, who assign homework? ( d) explain in a matter-of-fact way th at this is a simp le examp le of addition in the b inary number system ( i.e. the system wh ich has the number "two" as its base, instead of the "ten" -based decimal system) and that the symbol " 10" represents the base ( i.e., two), while the symbol "100" stands for the square of the base ( and everybody who has passed Math 101 knows that the square of two 1s four), so OF COURSE 10 plus 10 equals 100? If your answer is ( d), congratu lations to you; you must have earned an " A" in freshman mathematics I But if you are an (a), ( b), or (c) parent, it is time for you to learn someth ing of the basic changes that are be ing made in mathematics education. Most people believe mathematics was comp lete ly deve loped some two or three hundred years ago, then d ied and was careful ly embalmed in textbooks where it has been exposed to the not-so-eager gaze of generation after generat ion of students. Nothing could be further from the trut h . Mathe ma ticians are constantly developing new mathematics and, more important to this particular discuss ion, learning more abo11/ mat hemat ics. This has resu lted in new and better techniques as well as new app lications. For example, when Dr. Wheeler put asid e his chalk and eraser in the early 1940's to devote his full energies to that part icular brand of applied mathematics practiced in college treasurers ' offices, I took over the teaching of our statistics course . I wou ld not dream of using the same textbook today th at we used at that time. In the past twenty years or so, statistics has matured from a more or less routine computation of averages, measures of dispersion, and coefficients of corre lation to what has become a very exciting and widely applicable bran ch of probability theory. One aspect of this has come to be known as " decision th eory," which wide -awake business executives are finding a powe rful tool for helping them make the best plans, the best decisions, as th ey superv ise the operat ion and deve lopment of their enterprises. The current controversy as to whether

Johnny can or cannot read has been widely pub licized. T here has been similar concern as to the qua lity and extent of Johnny's training and development in mathematics. Few will disagree wit h (the) statement that once a student is separated from his arithme tic or algebra textbook and the particular types of prob lems that he has been dri lled

and dri lled to solve- usually by comp lete ly rote processes - he is apt to cut a pretty path etic figure as he attempts to put to use what he supposed ly has learned in class. Or to put it on another level, h ow many times have you seen the scoring pad at a bridge table pass from player to player like a h ot potato, w ith sheepish ly, some aleach discla iming-some most proud ly- that this rather low level of mathematica l activity is beyond his ability ? W here does th e weakness l ie in mathematics education? Most mat hematicians agree that it is in the overemp hasis on how to the almost complete neglect of why. Can't you almost hear one of your teac hers saying , "Now this prob lem comes under Case II , so we do thus and so"? Just why it came under Case II - or even why there was a w hy we did thus and so inCase II-and stead of th is and that was not at all clear. It sufficed that there resulted that most desirab le of all things, the right answer! This type of teaching has been much too prevalent, not only in elementary and secondary schools but even (please don 't throw stones at th e glass wa lls of Richmond Hall) in colleges, especially in the freshman year. This is, of course , the easy way to teach , and it permits almost any student with a good memory to get high grades . The trouble is that about all a student gets out of such work is h is grade. Faced with problems only slight ly different from those on which he has been drilled, he is at a complete loss as to how to proceed . Where there is no understanding , there can be no mastery 1 \Xl hat is being done about all this? What is the "new " mathematics that you may have read about and that h as already been introduced in a number of schoo ls from the elementary level on up? Are the dry bones of "old " mathematics to be decently interr ed and a fresh start made? Of course not 1 Mathematics rea lly isn't old or new- it is.1 In relative ly recent times we have learned much abo11tmathemati cs. Now we must use this accumu lated knowledge about mathematics to reformu late our approach to the teaching of mathematics. To do this successfully will require a recasting of the curriculum from the elementary grades through at least the first year of college mathematics. The basic content of courses will not be radically chang ed . What must be changed is the approach; we must lead our students to a fu ller understanding of their work. T he binary number system, for examp le, is perhaps the simplest possib le number system. An u nderstanding of how magnitudes can be represented in th is system wi ll make it easier to rea lly ( Co11tinued on page 10)

"Three Stories and a Poem"

THE ANGELLAPPROACH By W ILLIAM

NC LE Baker Boatwri ght had invited young Roy An gell to "exe rcise hi s talents" fo r the Buckin gham Bap tists' morn ing service. As the buggy clattered behind the amblin g horse, th e Richm ond College theolog wa ited fo r his uncl e to say somethin g about his sermon. Bu t the old er man sat tight-lipp ed until the church was out of sight. "W ell, U ncle Bak er, wh at did you think of it ?" Roy's curi osity broke the silence. U ncle Baker hesitated and then cleared his th roat. "Roy, I might as we ll tell you : when you're in the p ulpit with the Book befo re you, son, you go t to rare back and really pr each! " H e said a good deal more, Dr. An ge ll recalls, bu t the older man's idea of p reaching did not change the youn g man's way of presentin g the gosp el. That serm on was mu ch lik e the ones which ha ve made C. Roy An gell of Miami famou s acroos the nati on. " I believe the Bibl e is to be und erstoo d," he says, "a nd sometim es its mean ing comes more clearly when reflected in a story of everyday expe rience." Dr. An ge ll seems to have an inexhaustible fund of such stories draw n from w ide readin g and conversation s with peop le in many walks of li fe. H e retells them always in the first pe rson . His convincing dialogue and artistic concern for details make the stories come alive. Befo re his aud ience realizes it, some eternal tru th has become pertinent to our day. Hi s p reachi ng has not wo n for Roy Angell an invit ation to deliver the Y ale Lectures , but the commo n peop le h ave heard him glad ly. T he sophomo re mind - on campus and off- has neat ly labeled the Angell approa ch as " three stories and a poem," but old and youn g in hu ndreds of chur ches h ave felt that h e un derstood their prob lems. Th ey have liked hi s warm sense of hu mor and h is natura l u se of pat hos to play the whole range of their emot ions wit hout becomin g merely sentimental. Always he has used his stories as did Jesus- to help his hearers discove r great mean111g. Roy Ange ll was grad uated fr om Richmond College in the class of 1913, and he likes to reca ll expe riences and friends hips of hi s four years on the "down town " campus. O ne minor climax came in his pol itical maneuve rin g to win th e presidency of the Phil olog ians- wit h the help of Jack Poa rch and a few ciga rs. Go ing to college had not been easy for Roy. Hi s family had moved to Cli fton

Forge, Virg inia, fr om hi s nat ive Boone's Mill (ne ar Roanoke) wh en he was a youngster. Hi s fa ther soon suffered an acciden t that redu ced considera bly hi s earn ing power in the Chesapeake and Ohi o Rail way shops. T o h elp the fa mil y, Roy sig ned up with th e C & 0 as an apprenti ce machinist at 70 cents a day.

A CONTRASTIN POVERTY By FRANK M. BENTON, '12 the "go lden isle"

ICILY has been called S of mythology, the crossroads of the Mediterranean world, the paradise of the "lotus eater ," the land of flowers and the poor house of Italy. A ll th ese descr iptions fit the rich, but poor island . Another accurate description is to call Sicily a melting pot. For after Siculi and Sicani, who left their names and the earliest traces of habitation, Carth agenians, came the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans and their mercenary soldi ers and capt ive slaves, Germans , Bourbons an d Spaniards. Each flood of immigration and subju ga-

Both of th ese worthy ladi es have maintained their int erest in the order for many years- as a matter of fact Dean Kell er is an honorary Grand Pr esident. Frances W . Gregory (Hi story, WC) achieved th e rare honor of being elected an alumn a memb er of Phi Beta Kappa this spring. Thet a Chapter of Vir ginia (Sweet briar) pr esented th e key and scroll at a dinner on March 2. Speaking of Phi Beta Kappa , the Epsilon Chapter of Vir g ina elected officers for the coming year on May 24, as follows: Pr esident, Allan Powell (Chemistry); Vi ce-Pr esident, Jam es Payne (Law) ; Secretary, C.

Angell Approach (Continued

from pag e 5)

University of Pennsylvania and did further graduate study at Johns Hopkins and the University of Virginia. Stetson University gave him a D . D. several years ago. His other pastorates were in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charlottesville, Baton Rouge, and San Antonio. His denomination has called on him for many services and given him many honors, chief of which was the vicepresidency of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1946 . Dr. Angell retired in March as pastor of the Central Baptist Church in Miami, Florida, where he has served since 1936 . Out of its large membership five churches have been started during his ministry, and two missions are now beng sponsored. Its morning services have been broadcast for many years, extending Dr. Angeli's ministry into the Caribbean and even into New England. In 195 3 Broadman Press published Iron Shoes, the first collection of Dr. Angeli's inimitable sermons, and 40,000 copies of it have been sold . Baskets of Silver appeared in 1955 and The Price Tags of Life in 1959; together they have accounted for another 40,000 copies. A fourth book, God's Gold Mines, has just been released. His books are read by laymen as well as preachers. Wherever Dr. Angell has ministered, he has taken active part in community affairs. While in Baton Rouge during the summer of 1933 he noticed a policeman sweltering in a heavy jacket. Through the Kiwanis Club the preacher passed on a complaint to the police chief about the regulation uniform. With community backing , the jacket "went," and the policeman later rewarded the preacher by guiding him down a prominent one-way street- the wrong way 1 In Miami Dr. Angell has been president of the Rotary Club, active as a Shriner , and useful in numerous community projects. A major interes,t in recent years has been planning and financing the construction of the 304-bed Baptist Hospital of Greater Miami. While bearing the Baptist name, the facilities of ,this beautiful Spanish type structure are available to the community. Retirement for this Angell will just mean having more time for doing a lot of things he likes to do anyway; preaching , fishing, writing , and playing with his grandson, Eddie Rosse.

Mathematics (C onti nu ed from page 4)

compreh end the significant features of our somewhat more complicated decimal or tenbased system. A little bit of very informal logic will help even elementary school students understand what a proof is and, of equal importance, will help them appreciate the necessity for proof. Many students now enter college with the illusion that the

only place proofs are possible or even to be desired is in geometry . Their disillusionm(}nt is quick, sure, and sometimes painful! More attention must be given to some of the very basic concepts of mathematics -sets, especially sets of numbers, operations on numbers and the properties of these operations, for example . At the secondary level, the more important aspects of plane and solid geometry will be brought together in a single course, with a bit of analytic or algebraic geometry included where this will be helpful. For the more advanced high school student, it is desirable that introductory work in probability and statistical inference be available. All this sounds ambitious, and it is. It will take a lot of planning and much careful thought by teachers and supervisors. Many teachers are already taking advantage of special institutes, work shops, and in-service training programs provided to help them adapt to the changing emphases in their courses. It will take the cooperation of parents, too. Parents who take the attitude that what was good enough for them is still good enough can be a real handicap to their children . Don't forget that this new approach to mathematics will be no "newer" to the students than the "old" approach would have been, and any biases or prejudices they develop can come only from us. Entered into with enthusiasm and understanding on the part of all concernedteachers, students, and parents-it will actually make their work easier, more meaningful, and more useful. If Junior's homework should start giving you a little trouble, there may be a bright sideÂˇ to this for many of you. Are you wrestling with such things as decision theory , linear programing, data processing , matrices, or the possible use of high speed computers in your business? The day may not be too distant when Junior will be able to help you with your office homework !

Poverty ( Conti nued f rom page 6)

This is a country of traders. Even young children make sales in shops and can make change speedily and accurate ly. This is a land of contradictions and paradoxes. Theft appears to be unknown, but if the merchant can better his client in trad e, his day becomes a happy one . Crimes are those of violence, of temper, of passion . The mores of Greek, Phoenician and Arab trader ancestors show forth. He will give freely and abundantly to a visitor and is insulted at an offer of money recompence, but "makes face" if his giving is reciprocated. The Deity was kind to Sicily, geographically, geologically, and meteorologically. However, there is a handicap to counterbalance every blessing. It is a parched land . Water must be used wisely and sparingly . The ideal late autumn, perfect winter and glorious spring are offset by a blistering

[to]

summer of long duration. When Etna erupts ( as it did all winter) , the natives say that the Titan, (Enceladus), is trying to break his bonds that he may renew his strife with the gods of Olympus. Earthquakes are the rule rather than the exception. What did man do on this island? The Greek colonists left outstanding monuments . Around the island are Greek remains, temples, theaters, government centers, each of which seems the most beautiful and memorable until you see the next. The Greeks built with skill and art. The glory of the Greek towns has survived earthquakes, fire, depreda. tion of invading armies. Each new invader and colonizer a,ttempted to equal or to surpass the Greeks, but met with little success. Two later buildings, however, make a lasting impression on any visitor. Both in Palermo, they are the exquisite palace of the Norman kings and the fantastically beautiful cathedral at Monreale. No picture, no pen can wholly and clearly show these buildings. Never have I seen-and I have seen most of the great churches of Christiandom - such beautiful pictures of Biblical episodes, both Old and New Testament. One hundred and thirty scenes in mosaic are awaiting you in Monreale, pictures as brilliant and as realistic as any which Michaelangelo or daVinci did with chisel or brush. The cloisters of the cathedral were surely built with magic. Don't ask about the architecture of the palace and the cathedral. Guide books attempt to classify, but to an amateur they defy classification. There must be an end to this account of impressions, so let us tie it up with an incident at Erice, Virgil's Eryx. We had planned to spend one night at Erice on top of the world, but we were so captivated that we stayed on and on . Few visitors come to Erice, especially in March. There are no guides and no guide books. On a bright Sunday morning in Erice, we were wandering over th e site of the ancient temple of Venus . A youngster in his early 20's, neatly but poorly dressed, asked in broken English and indifferent French if he could help. He was Tommaso Salvatoro, an air corps cadet, who was at home on leave. In six weeks he would take his final examination for his wings . For two hours with keen interest, perfect courtesy, obvious knowledge, pati ence and pride he showed us Erice, old Erice, his Erice. "Here was the Temple of Venus. Its walls were built into the castle of the Normans. Here wasÂˇ the -temple of Jupiter; there, the Greek theater; there, the People's Tower; down below, when I was a small boy, the American Air Force bombed the German fuel dump. Over there you can see Africa. On that little island ( in the Mediterranean) is the tomb of Anchises, the father of Aeneas. Down below the fugitives from Troy held their games." His was a labor of love. He expected no compensation . We paid with our interested ( Continu ed on page 48 )

MY CH_ILDREN GET INTO COLLEGE?"

RO •

The question haunts most parents. Here 1s the answer:

· Yes ... • If they graduate from high school or preparatory school with something better than a "scrape-by" record. • If they apply to the college or university that is right for them-aiming their sights (and their application forms) neither too high nor too low, but with an individuality and precision made possible by sound guidance both in school and in their home. • If America's colleges and universities can find the resources to carry out their plans to meet the huge demand for higher education that is certain to exist in this country for years to come. The if's surrounding your children and the college of tomorrow are matters of concern to everyone involvedto parents, to children, to alumni and alumnae (whatever their parental status), and to the nation's educators. But resolving them is by no means being left to chance. • The colleges know what they must, do, if they are to

meet the needs of your children and others of your children's generation. Their planning is well beyond the handwringing stage: • . The colleges know the likely cost of putting their plans into effect. They know this cost, both in money and in manpower, will be staggering. But most of them are already embarked upon finding the means of meeting it. • Governments-local, state, and federal----,are also deeply involved in educational planning and financing. Some parts of the country are far ahead of others. But no regiol). is without its planners and its doers in this field. • Public demand-not only for expanded facilities for higher education, but for ever-bette.r quality in higher education-today is more insistent, more informed than ever before. With this growth of public sophistication about higher education, it is now clear to most intelligent parents that they themselves must take a leading role in guiding their children's educational careers-and in making certain that the college of tomorrow will be ready, and good, for them.

This special report is in the form of a guide to parents. But we suspect that every reader, parent or not, will.find the story of higher education's future remarkably exciting.

here .will your children go to college? more than one million ,students enrolled . in the freshman classes of U.S. colleges and universities. They came from wealthy families, middleincome families, poor families; from all races, here and abroad ; from virtually every religious faith. Over the next ten years, the number of students will grow enormously. Around 1964 the long-predicted "tidal wave" of young people, born in the postwar era and steadily moving upward through the nation's school systems ever since, will engulf the college campuses. By 1970 the population between the ages of 18 and 21-now around 10.2 million-will have grown to 14.6 million. College enrollment, now less than 4 million, will be at least 6.4 million, and perhaps far more. The character of the student bodies will also have changed. More than half of the full-time students in the country 's four-year colleges are already coming from lower-middle and low income groups. With expanding scholarship, loan, and self-help programs, this trend will continue strong . Non-white college students-who in the past decade have more than doubled in number and now compose about 7 per cent of the total enrollment-will continue to increase. (Non-whites formed 11.4 per cent of the U.S. population in the 1960 census.) The number of married students will grow. The average age of students will continue its recent rise. The sheer force of this great wave of students is enough to take one's breath away. Against this force, what chance has American higher education to stand strong, to maintain standards, to improve quality, to keep sight of the individual student? And, as part of the gigantic population swell, what chances have your children? T FALL,

they are keenly aware of it. But for reasons of finance, of faculty limitations, of space, of philosophy, off unction, of geographic location-or of a combination of these and other restrictions-they cannot grow. Many other institutions, public and private, are expanding their enrollment capacities and will continue to do so: Private institutions: Currently, colleges and universities under independent auspices enroll around 1,500,000 students-some 40 per cent of the U.S. college population. In the future, many privately supported institutions will grow, but slowly in comparison with publicly supported institutions. Thus the total number of students at private institutions will rise, but their percentage of the total college population will become smaller. Public institutions: State and locally supported colleges and universities are expanding their capacity steadily. In the years ahead they will carry by far the heaviest share of America 's growing student population. Despite their growth, many of them are already feeling the strain of the burden. Many state institutions, once committed to accepting any resident with a high-school diploma, are now imposing entrance requirements upon applicants. Others, required by law or long tradition not to turn away any high-school graduate who applies, resort in desperation to a high flunk-out rate in the freshman year in order to whittle down their student bodies to , manageable size. In other states, coordinated systems of higher education are being devised to accommodate

there are some encouraging answers. At the same time, the intelligent parent will not ignore some danger signals. TO BOTH QUESTIONS,

FINDING ROOM FOR EVERYBODY NOT EVERY COLLEGE or university in the country is able to expand its student capacity . A number have concluded that, fqr one persuasive reason or another, they must maintain their present enrollments. They are not blind to the need of American higher education, in the aggregate, to accommodate more students in the years ahead; indeed, COPYRIGHT

students of differing aptitudes; high-school academic records, and career goals. Two-year colleges: Growing at a faster rate than any other segment of U.S. higher education is a group comprising both public and independently supported institutions: the two-year, or "junior," colleges. Approximately 600 now exist in the United States, and experts estimate that an average of at least 20 per year will be established in the coming decade. More than 400 of the two-year institutions are community colleges, located within commuting distance of their students. These colleges provide three main services: education for students who will later transfer to four-year colleges or universities (studies show they often do as well as those who go directly from high school to a four-year institution, and sometimes better), terminal training for vocations (:more and more important as jobs require higher technical skills), and adult education and community cultural activities. Evidence of their importance: One out of every four students beginning higher education today does so in a two-year college. By 1975, the ratio is likely to be one in two. Branch campuses: To meet local demands for educational institutions, some state universities have opened branches in population centers distant from their main campuses. The trend is likely to continue. On occasion, however, the "branch campus" concept may conflict with the "community college" concept. In Ohio, for example, proponents of community two-year colleges are currently arguing that locally controlled community institutions are the best answer to the state's college-enrollment problems. But Ohio State University, Ohio University, and Miami University, which operate off-campus centers and whose leaders advocate the establishment of more, say that ta;x:payersget better value at lower cost from a university-run branch-campus system. Coordinated systems: To meet both present and future demands for higher education, a number of states are attempting to coordinate their existing colleges and upiversities and to lay long-range plans for developing new ones. California, a leader in such efforts, has a "master plan" involving not only the three main types of publicly supported institutions-the state university, state colleges, and locally sponsored two-year colleges. Private institu- Âˇ tions voluntarily take part in the master planning, also. With at least 661,000 students expected in their colleges and universities by 1975, Californians have worked out a plan under which every high-school graduate will be eligible to attend a junior college; the top one-third will be eligible for admission to a state college; and the top one-eighth will be eligible to go directly from high school to the University of California. The plan is flexible: students who prove themselves in a junior college, for

On the same day in late May of last year, 33,559 letters went out to young people who had applied for admission to the 1961 freshman class. in one or more of the eight .schools that compose the Ivy League. Of these letters, 20,248 were rejection notices. Not all of the 20,248 had been misguided in applying . Admissions officers testify that the quality of the 1961 applicants was higher than ever before, that the competition was therefore intense, and that many appl icants who might have been welcomed in other years had to be turned away in '61. Even so, as in years past, a number of the applicants had been the victims of bad advice-from parents , teachers, and friends . Had they applied to other institutions, equally or better suited to their aptitudes and abilities, they would have been accepted gladly, avoiding the bitter disappointment, and the occasional tragedy, of a turndown. The Ivy League experience can be, and is, repeated in dozens of other colleges and universities every spring. Yet, while some institutions are rejecting more applications than they can accept , others (perhaps better qualified to meet the rejected students' needs) still have openings in their freshman 'classes on registration day. Educators, both in the colleges and in the secondary schools, are aware of the problems in "marrying " the right students to the right colleges. An intensive effort is undex way to relieve them. In the future, you may expect : â€˘ Better guidance by high~school counselors, based on

improved testing methods and on improved unders~nding '· of individual colleges arid their offerings. • Better definitions, by individual colleges and universities, of their phiiosophies of admission, their criteria for choosing students, their strengths in meeting the needs of certain types of student and their weakness in meeting the needs.of others. • L~ss parental pressure on their offspring to attend: the college or university that mother or father attended; the college or university that "everybody else's children" are attending; the college or university that enjoys the greatest sports-page prestige, the greatest financial-page prestige, or the greatest society-page prestige in town. • · More awareness that children are different from one another, that colleges are dif:Yerentfrom one another, and

that a· happy match of children and institutions is within the reach of any parent (and student) who takes the pains to pursue it intelligently. • Exploration-but probably, in the near future, no widespread adoption---o 'f a central clearing-house for college applications, with students stating their choices of colleges in preferential order and colleges similarly listing their choices of students. The "clearing-house" would thereupon match students and institutions according to their preferences. Despite the likely growth of these practices, applying to college may well continue to be part~chaos, part-panic, part-snobbishness for years to come. But with the. aid of enlightened parents and educators, it will be less so, tomorrow, than it is today.

hat will they find in college? OFTOMORROW-theone your children HE COLLEGE will find when they get in-is likely to differ from · the college you knew in your days as a student. The students themselves will be different. Curricula will be different. Extracurricular activities will be different, in many respects, from what they were in your day. The college year, as well as the colle_geday, may be · different . Modes of study will be different. With one or two conspicuous exceptions, the changes will be for the better. But for better or for worse, changes there will be.

THE NEW BREED OF STUDENTS

WILLCOMEAS NEWSto no parents that their children are different from themselves. Academically, they are proving to be more seri~us than many of their predecessor generations . Too serious, some s~y. They enter college with an eye already set on the vocation they hope to pursue when they get out; college, to many, is simply the means to that end. Many students plan to marry as soon as they can afford to, and some even before they can afford to. They want families, homes, a fair amount of leisure, good jobs, security. They dream not of a far-distant future; today's students are impatient to translate their dreams into reality, soon.

Like most generalizations, these should be qualified . There will be students who are quite far from the average, and this is as it should be. But with international tensions, recurrent war threats, military-service obligations, and talk of utter destruction -of the race, the tendency is for the young to want to cram their lives full oflivingwith no unnecessary delays, please. At the moment, there is little likelihood that the urge to pace one's life quickly and seriously will soon pass. This is the tempo the adult world has set for its young, and they will march doubletime to it. Economic backgrounds of students will continue to grow more diverse.- In recent years, thanks to scholarships, student loans, and the spectacular growth of public educational institutions, higher education has become less and less the exclusive province of the sons and daughters of the well-to-do. The spread of scholarship and loan programs geared to family income levels will intensify this trend, not only in low-tuition public colleges and universities but in high-tuition private institutions. Students from foreign countries will flock to ,the U.S. for college education, barring a totally deteriorated international situation. Last year 53,107 foreign students, from 143 countries and political areas, were enrolled in 1,666 American colleges and universities-almost a 10 per cent increase over the year before. Growing numbers of African and Asian students accounted for the rise; the growth is virtually certain to continue. The 'presence of

such students on U.S. campuses-SO per cent of them are undergraduates-has already .contributed to a greater international awareness on the part of American students. The influence is bound to grow. Âˇ Foreignstudyby U.S. studentsis increasing. In 1959-60, the most recent year reported, 15,306 were enrolled in 63 foreign countries, a 12 per cent increase in a period of 12 months. Students traveling abroad during summer vacations add impressive numbers to this total. WHAT THEY'LL STUDY

in the course of change, and the changes will affect your children. A new .toughness Âˇin academic standards will reflect the great amount of knowledge that must be imparted in the college years. In the sciences, changes are particularly obvious. Every decade, writes Thomas Stelson of Carnegie Tech, 25 per cent of the curriculum must be abandoned, d.ue to obsolescence. J. Robert Oppenheimer puts it another way: nearly everything now known in science, he says, "was not in any book when most ofus went to school." There . will be differences in the social sciences and humanities, as well. Language instruction, now getting new emphasis, is an example. The use of language laboratories, with tape recordings and other mechanical devices, is already popular and will spread. Schools once preoccupied almost entirely with science and technology (e.g., colleges of engineering, leading medical schools) have now integrated social and humanistic studies into their curricula, and the trend will spread to other institutions. Internationalemphasisalso will grow. The big push will be related to nations and regions outside the Western World. For the first time on a large scale, the involvement STUDIES ARE

of U.S. higher education will be truly global. This nonWestern orientation, says one college president (who is seconded by many others) is "the new frontier in American higher education." For undergraduates, comparative studies in both the social. sciences and the humanities are likely to be stressed. The hoped-for result: ,better understanding of the human experience in all cultures. Mechanics of teaching will improve. "Teaching ma- . ' chines" will be used more and more , as educators assess their value and versatility (see Who will teach them? on the following pages). Closed-circuit television will carry a lecturer's voice and closeup views of his demonstrations to hundreds of students simultaneously. TV and microfilm will grow in usefulness as library tools, enabling institutions to duplicate, in small space, the resources of distant libraries and specialized rare-book collections. Tape recordings will put music and drama, performed by masters, on every campus. Computers, already becoming almost commonplace, will be used for more and more study and research purposes. This availability of resources unheard-of in their parents' day will enable undergraduates to embark on extensive programs of independent study. Under careful faculty guidance, independent study will equip students with research ability, problem-solving techniqm;s, and bibliographic savvy which should be of immense value to them throughout their lives. Many of yesterday's college graduates still don't know how to work creatively in unfamiliar intellectual territory: to pinpoint a Âˇ problem, formulate intelligent questions, use a library , map a research project. There will be far fewer gaps of this sort in the training of tomorrow's students . Great new stress on quality will be found at all institu- . tions. Impending explosive growth of the college population has put the spotlight, for years, on handling large numbers of students; this has worried educators who feared that quality might be lost in a national preoccupation with quantity. Big institutions, particularly those with "growth situations," are !}OW putting emphasis on maintaining high academic standards-and even raising them -while handling high enrollments, too. Honors programs, opportunities for undergraduate res~arch, insistence on creditable scholastic achievement are symptomatic of the concern for academic excellence. It's important to realize that this emphasis on quality will be found not only in four-year colleges and universities, but in two-year institutions, also. "Each [type of institution] shall strive for excellence in its sphere," is how the California master plan for higher education puts it; the same idea is pervading higher education at all levels throughout the nation. WHERE'S THE FUN?

has been under~oing subtle changes at colleges and universities for years and is likely EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY

to continue doing so. Student apathy toward some activities-political clubs, for example-is lessening. Toward other activities-the light, the frothy-apathy appears to be growing. There is less interest in spectator sports, more interest in participant sports that will be playable for most of a lifetime. Student newspapers, observes -the dean of students at a college on the Eastern seaboard, no longer rant about band uniforms, closing hours for fraternity parties, and the need for bigger pep rallies. Sororities are disappearing from the campuses of women's colleges. "Fun festivals" are granted less time and importance by students; at one big midwestern university, for example, the events of May Week-formerly a five-day wingding involving floats, honorary-fraternity initiations, facultystudent baseball, and crowning of the May Queen-are now crammed into one half-day. In spite of the wellpublicized antics of a relatively few roof-raisers (e.g., student rioters at several summer resorts last Labor Day, student revelers at Florida resorts during spring-vacation periods), a new seriousness is the keynote of most student activities. "The faculty and administration are more resistant to these changes than the students are," jokes the president of a women's college in Pittsburgh. "The typical student congress wants to abolish the junior prom; the dean is the

one who feels nostalgic about it: 'That's the one event Mrs. Jones and I looked forward to each year.' " A QUEST FOR ETHICAJ:, VALUES

more and more educators are saying, "should be much more than the mere retention of subject matter." Here are three indications of how the thoughts of many educators are running: "If [the student] enters college and pursues either an intellectual smorgasbord, intellectual Teutonism, or the cash register," says a midwestern educator, "his education will have advanced very little, if at all. The odds are quite good that he will simply have exchanged one for:mof barbarism for another ... Certainly there is no incompatibility between being well-informed and being stupid; such a condition makes .the student a danger to himself and society." Says another observer: "I prophesy that a more serious intention and mood will progressively characterize the campus ... This means, most of all, commitment to the use of one's learning in fruitful, creative, and noble ways." "The responsibility of the educated man," says the provost of a state university in New England, "is that he make articulate to himself and to others what he is willing to bet his life on." EDUCATION,

ho will teach them? nm QUALITY of the teaching that your children can look forward to, and you will know much about the effectiveness of the education they will receive. Teaching, tomorrow as in the past, is the heart of higher education. It is no secret; by now, that college teaching has been on a plateau of crisis in the U.S . for some years. Much of the problem is traceable to money. Salaries paid to college teachers lagged far behind those paid elsewhere in jobs requiring similarly high talents. While real incomes, as well as dollar incomes, climbed for most other groups of Americans, the real incomes of college professors not merely stood still but dropped noticeably. The financial pinch became so bad, for some teachers, that despite ob_vious devotion to their careers and obvious preference for this profession above all others, they had to leave for other jobs. Many bright young people, the sort who ordinarily would be attracted to teaching careers, took one look at the salary scales and decided to make their mark in another field. Has the situation improved? NOW

Will it be better when your children go to college? Yes. At the moment, faculty salaries and fringe benefits (on the average) are rising. Since the rise started from an extremely disadvantageous level, however, no one is getting rich in the process. Indeed, on almost every campus the real income in every rank of the faculty is still considerably less than it once was. Nor have faculty salary scales, generally, caught up with the national scales in competitive areas such as business and government. But the trend is encouraging. If i~ continues, the financial plight of teachers-and the serious threat to education which it has posed-should be substantially diminished by 1970. None of this will happen automatically, of course. For evidence, check the appropriations for higher education made at your state legislature's most recent session. If yours was like a number of recent legislatures, it "economized" -and professorial salaries suffered. The support which has enabled many colleges to correct Âˇ the most glaring salary deficiencies must continue until the problem is fully solved. After that, it is essential to make sure that

the quality of our college teaching-a truly crucial element in fashioning the minds and attitudes of your children-is not jeopardized again by a failure to pay its practitioners adequately. HERE ARE OTHER ANGLES to the question of attracting and retaining a good faculty besides money. • The betterthestudentbody-the more challenging, the more lively its members-the more attractive is the job of teaching it. "Nothing is more certain to make teaching a dreadful task than the feeling that you are dealing with people who have no interest in what you are talking about," says an experienced professor at a small college in the Northwest. "An appalling number of the students I have known were bright, tested high on their College Boards, and still lacked flair and drive and persistence," says another professor. "I have concluded that much of the difference between them and the students who are 'alive' must be traceable to their homes, their fathers, their mothers. Parents who themselves take the trouble to be interesting -and interested-seem to send us children who are interesting aad interested." • The better the library and laboratory facilities, the more likely is a college to be able to recruit and keep a good faculty. Even small colleges, devoted strictly to undergraduate studies, are finding ways to provide their faculty members with opportunities to do independent reading and research. They find it pays in many ways: the faculty teaches better, is more alert to changes in the subject matter, is less likely to leave for other fields. • The better the public-opinion climate toward teachers in a community, the more likely is a faculty to be strong. Professors may grumble among themsel_ves about all the invitations they receive to speak to women's clubs and

alumni groups ("When am I supposed to find the time to check my lecture notes?"), but they take heart from the high regard for their profession which such invitations from the community represent. • Part-time consultant jobs are an attraction to good faculty members. (Conversely, one of the principal checkpoints for many industries seeking new plant sites is, What faculty talent is nearby?) Such jobs provide teachers both with additional income and with enormously useful opportunities to base their , classroom teachings on practical, current experience. must do more than hold on to their present good teachers and replace those who retire or resign. Over the next few years many institutions must add to their teaching staffs at a prodigious rate, in order to handle the vastly larger numbers of students who are already forming lines in the admissions office. The ability to be a college teacher is not a skill that can be acquired overnight, or in a year or two. A Ph.D . degree takes at least four years to get, after one has earned his bachelor's degree. More often it takes six or seven years, and sometimes 10 to 15. In every ten-year period since the turn of the century , , as Bernard Berelson of Columbia University has pointed out, the production of doctorates in the U.S. has doubled . But only about 60 per cent of Ph.D.'s today go into academic life, compared with about 80 per cent at the turn of the century. And only 20 per cent wind up teaching undergraduates in liberal arts colleges. Holders of lower degrees, therefore , will occupy many teaching positions on tomorrow's college faculties. This is not necessarily bad. A teacher's ability is not always defined by the number of degrees he is entitled to UT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

write after his name. Indeed, said the graduate dean of one great university several years ago, it is high time that "universities have the courage ... to select men very largely on the quality of work they have done and soft· pedal this matter of degrees." salaries for teachers will be better, larger numbers of able young people will be attracted into the field (but their preparation will take time), and fewer able peoplewill be lured away. Iri expanding their faculties, some colleges and universities will accept more holders of bachelor's and master's degrees than they have been accustomed to, but this may force them to focus attention on ability rather than to rely as unquestioningly as in the past on the magic of a doctor's degree. Meanwhile, other developments provide grounds for cautious optimism about the effectiveness of the teaching y~mr children will receive.

N SUMMARY,

TEACIDNG MACHINES

for the improvement of instrucincluding college, are schooling, of tion at . all levels programs of.learning presented through mechanical selfteaching devices, popularly called "teaching machines." The most widely used machine, invented by Professor Frederick Skinner of Harvard, is a box-like device with HOLDING GREAT PROMISE

THE TV SCREEN

not long ago found only in the lounges of dormitories and student unions, is now an accepted teaching tool on many campuses. Its use will grow. "To report on the use of television in teaching," says Arthur S. Adams, past president of the American Council on Education, "is like trying to catch a galloping horse." For teaching 'Closeup work in dentistry, surgery, and laboratory sciences, closed-circuit TV is unexcelled. The number of students who can gaze into a patient's gaping mouth while a teacher demonstrates how to fill a cavity is limited; when their ·place is taken by a TV camera and the students cluster around TV screens, scores can watch -and see more, too. Television, at large schools, has the additional virtue of extending the effectiveness of a single teacher. Instead of giving the same lecture (replete with the same jokes) three times to students filling the campus's largest hall, a professor can now give it once-and be seen in as many auditoriums and classrooms as are needed to accommodate all registrants in his course. Both the professor and the jokes are fresher, as a result. How effective is TV? Some carefully controlled studies show that students taught from the fluorescent screen do as well in some types of course (e.g., lectures) as those sitting in the teacher's presence, and sometimes better. But TV standardizes instruction to a degree that is not always desirable . And, reports Henry H. Cassirer of UNESCO, who has analyzed television teaching in the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and Japan, students do not want to lose contact with their teachers. They want to be able to ask questions as instruction progresses. Mr. Cassirer found effective, on the other hand, the combination of a central TV lecturer with classroom instructors who prepare students for the lecture and then dis~uss it with them afterward. · TELEVISION,

three windows in its top. When the student turns a crank, an item of information, along with a question about it, appears in the lefthand window (A). The student writes his answer to the question on a paper strip exposed in another window (B). The student turns the crank againand the correct answer appears at window A. Simultaneously, this action moves the student's answer under a transparent shield covering window C, so that the student can see, but not change, what he has written. If the answer is correct, the student turns another crank, causing the tape to be notched; the machine will by-pass this item when the student goes through the series of questions again. Questions are arranged so that each item builds on previous 'information the machine has given. Such self-teaching devices have these advantages: • Each student can proceed at his own pace, whereas classroom lectures must be paced to the "average" student -too fast for some, too slow for others. "With a machine," comments a University of Rochester psychologist, "the brighter student could go ahead at a very fast pace." • The machine makes examinations and testing a rewarding and learning experience, rather than a punishment. If his answer is correct, the student is rewarded with that knowledge instantly; this reinforces his memory of the right information. If the answer is incorrect, the machine provides the correct answer immediately. In large classes, no teacher can provide such frequent-and individual-rewards and immediate corrections. • The machine smooths the ups and downs in the learn-

ing process by removing some external sources of anxieÂˇ ties, such as fear of falling behind. â€˘ If a student is having difficulty with a subject, the teacher can check back over his machine tapes and find the exact point at which the student began to go wrong. Correction of the difficulty can be made with precision, not gropingly .as . is usually necessary in machineless classes. Not only do the machines give promise of accelerating the learning process; they introduce an individuality to

learning which has previously been unknown. "Where television holds the danger of standardized instruction," said John W. Gardner, president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, in a report to then-President Eisenhower, "the self-teaching device can individualize instruc tion in ways not now possible-and the student is always an active participant." Teaching machines are being tested, and used, on a number of college campuses and seem certain to figure prominently in the teaching of your children.

ill they graduate? at a university in the South director of admissions, no the not long ago (he was in jest): entirely not less, and he spoke when I did, instead back college to ."I'm happy I went probably wouldn't office ons admissi the of now. Today, last more than a I'd that doubt I did, they If let me in. two." or r semeste Getting into college is a problem, nowadays. Staying there, once in, can be even more difficult. Here are some of the principal reasons why many students fail to finish: Academic failure: For one reason or another-not always connected with a lack of aptitude or potential scholastic ability-many students fail to make the grade. Low entrance requirements, permitting students to enter college without sufficient aptitude or previous preparation, also play a big part. In schools where only a high-school diploma is required for admission, drop-outs and failures during the first two years average (nationally) between 60 and 70 per cent. Normally selective admissions procedures usually cut this rate down to between 20 and 40 per cent. Where admissions are based on keen competition, the attrition rate is 10 per cent or less. FUTURE OUTLOOK: High schools are tightening their academic standards, insisting upon greater effort by student~, and teaching the techniques or'note-taking, effective studying, and library use. Such measures will .inevitably better the chances of students when they reach college. Better testing and counseling programs should help, by guiding less-able students away from institutions where they'll be beyond their depth and into institutions better suited to their abilities and needs. Growing popular acceptance of the two-year college concept will also help, as will the adoption of increasingly selective admissions procedures by four-year colleges and universities. Parents can help by encouraging activities designed to find the right academic spot for their children; by recogAID AN ADMINISTRATOR

nizing their children's strengths and limitations; by creating an atmosphere ih which children will be encouraged to read, to study, to develop curiosity, to accept new ideas . Poor motivation: Students drop out of college ''not only because they lack ability but because they do not have the motivation for serious study ," say persons who have studied the attrition problem. This aspect of students' failure to finish college is attracting attention from educators and administrators both in colleges and in secondary schools. to FUTURE OUTLOOK: Extensive research is under way The ed. measur be determine whether motivation can "Personal Values Inventory," developed by scholars at Colgate University, is one promising yardstick, providing information about a student's long-range persistence, personal self-control, and deliberateness (as opposed to rashness). M~ny colleges and universities are participating in the study, in an effort to establish the efficacy of the tests. Thus far, report the Colgate researchers , "the tests have successfully differentiated between over- and underachievers in every college included in the sample." Parents can help by their own attitudes toward scholastic achievement and by encouraging their children to

develop independence from adults. "This, coupled with the reflected image that a person acquires from his parents-an image relating to persistence and other traits and values-may have much to .do with his orientation toward academic success," the Colgate investigators say. Money: Most parents think they know the cost of sending a child to college. But, a recent survey shows, relatively few of them actually do. The average parent, the survey disclosed, underestimates college costs by roughly 40 per cent. In such a situation, parental savings for college purposes often run out quickly-and, unless the student can fill the gap with scholarship aid, a loan, or earnings from part-time employment, he drops out. FUTURE OUTLOOK: A surprisingly high proportion of financial dropouts are children of middle-income, not low-income, families. If parents would inform themselves fully about current college costs-and reinform themselves periodically, since prices tend to go up-a substantial part of this problem could be solved in the future by realistic family savings programs. ' Other probabilities: growing federal and state (as well as private) scholarship programs; growing private and governmental loan programs. Jobs: Some students, anxious to strike out on their own, are lured from college by jobs requiring little skill but offering attractive starting salaries. Many such students may have hesitated about going to college in the first place and drop out at the first opportunity. FUTURE OUTLOOK: The lure of jobs will always tempt some students, but awareness of the value of completing college-for lifelong financial gain, if for no other reason -is increasing. Emotional problems: Some students find themselves unable to adjust to college life and drop out as a result. Often such problems begin when a student chooses a college that's "wrong" for him. It may accord him too much or too little freedom; its pace may be too swift for him, resulting in frustration, or too slow, resulting in boredom; it may be "too social" or "not social enough." FUTURE OUTLOOK: With expanding and more skillful guidance counseling and psychological testing, more students can expect to be steered to the "right" college environment. This won't entirely eliminate the emotionalmaladjustment problem, but it should ease it substantially. Marriage: Many students marry while still in college but fully expect to continue their education. A number do go on (sometimes wives withdraw from college to earn money to pay their husbands' educational expenses). Others have children before graduating and must drop out of college in order to support their family. ÂˇFUTURE OUTLOOK: The trend toward early marriage shows no signs of abating. Large numbers of parents openly or tacitly encourage children to go steady and to marry at an early age. More and more colleges are provid-

ing living quarters for married undergraduate students; Some even have day-care facilities for students' young children. Attitudes and customs in their "peer groups" will continue to influence young people on the question of marrying early; in some groups, it's frowned upon; in others, it's the thing to do. are deeply interested in finding solutions to the attrition problem in all its aspects. Today, at many institutions, enrollment resembles a pyramid: the freshman class, at the bottom, is big; the sophomore class is smaller, the junior class still smaller, and the senior class a mere fraction of the freshman group. Such pyramids are wasteful, expensive, inefficient. They represent hundreds, sometimes thousands, of personal tragedies: young people who didn't make it. The goal of the colleges is to change the pyramid into a straight-sided figure, with as many people graduating as enter the freshman class. In the college of tomorrow, the sides will not yet have attained the perfect vertical, but-as a result of improved placement, admissions, and academic practices-they should slope considerably less than they do now.

OLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

hat will college have done for them? are like about 33 per cent of today's college graduates, they will not end their formal education when they get their bachelor's degrees. On they'll go-to graduate school, to a professional school, or to an advanced technological institution. There are good reasons for their continuing: • In four years, nowadays, one can only begin to scratch the surface of the body of knowledge in his specialty. To teach, or to hold down a high-ranking job in industry or government, graduate study is becoming more and more useful and necessary . • Automation, in addition to eliminating jobs in unskilled categories, will have an increasingly strong effect on persons holding jobs in middle management and middle technology. Competition for survival will be intense. Many students will decide that one way of competing advantageously is to take as much formal education beyond the baccalaureate as they can get. • One way in which women can compete successfully with men for high-level positions is to be equipped with a graduate degree when they enter the job market. • Students heading for school-teaching careers will increasingly be urged to concentrate on substantive studies in their undergraduate years and to take methodology courses in a postgraduate schooling period. The same will be true in many other fields. • Shortages are developing in some professions, e.g., medicine . Intensive efforts will be made to woo more top undergraduates into professional schools, and opportuni.:. ties in short~supplied professions will become increasingly attractive. • "Skills," predicts a Presidential committee, "may become obsolete in our fast-moving industrial society. Sound education provides a basis for adjustment to constant and abrupt change-a base on which new skills inay be built." The moral will not be lost on tomorrow's students. In addition to having such practical motives, tomorrow's students will be influenced by a growing tendency to expose them to graduate-level work while they are still undergraduates. Independent study will give them a taste of the intellectual satisfaction to be derived from learning on their own. Graduate-style seminars, with their stimulating give-and-take of fact and opinion, will exert a strong

F YOUR CHILDREN

appeal. As a result, for able students the distinction between undergraduate and graduate work will become blurred and meaningless. Instead of arbitrary insistence upon learning in two-year or four-year units, there will be more attention paid to the length of time a student requires-and desires-to immerse himself in the specialty that interests him. graduate or professional study, educa to end for your children. likely tion is not rs Administrato in the field of adult education''continuing education" --expect that accurately, or, more within a decade the number of students under their wing will exceed the number of undergraduates in American colleges and universities. "Continuing education," says Paul A. McGhee, dean of New York University's Division of General Education (where annually some 17,000 persons enroll in around 1,200 non-credit courses) "is primarily the education of the already educated ." The more education you have, the more you are likely to want . Since more and more people will go to college, it follows that more and more people will seek knowledge throughout their lives. We are, say adult-education leaders, departing from the old notion that one works to live. In this day of automation and urbanization, a new concept is emerging : "time ," not "work," is the paramount factor in people 's lives. Leisure takes on a new meaning : along with golf, boating , D EVEN with

and partying, it now includes study. And he who forsakes gardening for studying is less and less likely to be regarded as the neighborhood oddball. Certain to vanish are the last vestiges of the stigma that has long attached to "night school." Although the concept of night school as. a place for educating only the illiterate has changed, many who have studied at nighteither for credit or for fun and intellectual stimulationhave felt out of step, somehow. But such views are . obsolescent and soon will be obsolete. Thus far, American colleges and universities-with notable exceptions-have not led the way in providing continuing education for their alumni. Most alumni have been forced to rely on local boards of education and other civic.and social groups to provide lectures, classes, discussion groups. These have been inadequate, and institutions of higher education can be expected to assume unprecedented roles in the continuing-education field. Alumni and alumnae are certain to demand that they take such leadership. Wrote Clarence B. Randall in The New York Times Magazine: "At institution after institution there has come into being an organized and articulate group of devoted graduates who earnestly believe ... that the college still has much to offer them." When colleges and universities respond on a large scale to the. ~rowing demand for · continuing education, the variety of courses is likely to be enormous. Already, in institutions where continuing education is an accepted role, the range is from space technology to existentialism to funer~l direction. (When the University of California offered non~credit courses in the first-named subject to engineers and physicists, the combined enrollment reached 4,643.) '"From the world of astronauts, to the highest of ivory to.wers, to six feet under," is how one wag has described the phenomenon. OME OTHER LIKELY FEATURES

of your children, after they are graduated from tomorrow's colleges: • They'll have considerably more political sophistication than did the average person who marched up to get a diploma in their parents' day. Political parties now have active .student groups on many campuses and publislf material beamed specifically at undergraduates. Studentgov.ernment organizations are developing sophisticated procedures. Nonpartisan as well as partisan groups, operating on a national scale, are fanning student interest in current political affairs. • They'll have an international orientation that many of their parents lacked when they left the campuses. The presence of more foreign students in their classes, the emphasis on courses dealing with global affairs, the front pages of their daily newspapers will all contribute to this change. They will find their international outlook useful: a recent government report predicts that "25 years from now, one col).egegraduate in four will find at least part of

his career abroad in such places as Rio de Janeiro, Dakar, Beirut, Leopoldville, Sydney, Melbourne, or Toronto." • They'll have an awareness of unanswered questions, to an extent that their parents probably did not have. Principles that once were regarded (and taught) as incontrovertible fact are now regarded (and taught) as subject to constant alteration, thanks to the frequent toppling of long-held ideas in today's explosive sciences and technologies. Says one observer: "My student generation, if it looked at the world, didn't know it was 'loaded'. Today's student has no such ignorance." • They'll possess a broad-based liberal education, but in their jobs many of them are likely to specialize more narrowly than did their elders. "It is a rare bird today who knows all about contemporary physics and all about modern ' mathematics," said one of the world's most distinguished scientists not long ago, "and if he exists, I

haven't found him. Because of the rapid growth of science it has become impossible for one man to master any large part of it; therefore, we have the necessity of specialization." • Your daughters are likely to be impatient with the prospect of devoting their lives solely to unskilled labor as housewives. Not only will more of tomorrow's women graduates embark upon careers when they receive their diplomas, but more of them will keep up their contacts with vocational interests even during their period of childrearing. And even before the children are grown, more of them will return to the working force, either as paid employees or as highly skilled volunteers. parents of tomorrow's graduates will find some of the prospects good, some of them deplorable. In essence, however, the likely trends of tomorrow are only continuations of trends that are clearly established today, and moving inexorably.

EPENDING UPON THEIR OWN OUTLOOK,

ho will pay-and LL YOU BE ABLE to afford a college education for your children? The .tuition? The travel ex. pense? The room rent? The board? In addition: Will you be able to pay considerably more than is written on the price-tags for these items? The stark truth is that you-or somebody-must pay, if your children are to go to college and get an education as good as the education you received.

is where colle~es and . universities get their money: . From taxes paid to governments at all levels: city, state, and federal. Governments now appropriate an estimated $2.9 billion in support of higher education every year. By 1970 government support will have grown to roughly $4 billion. Fromprivategifts and grants. These now provide nearly $1 billion annually. By 1970 they must provide about $2.019 billion. Here is where this money is likely to come from:

Miscellaneous income now provides around $410 million annually. By 1970 the figure is expected to be around $585 million. · These estimates, made by the independent Council for Financial Aid to Education*, are based on the "best. available" estimates of the expected growth in enrollment in America's colleges and universities: from slig~tly less than 4 million this year to about 6.4 million in th~ •To whose research staff the editors are indebted for most of the financial projections cit~d in this section of their report.

how?

academic year 1969-70.The total income that the colleges and universities will require in 1970 to handle this enrollment will be on the order of $9 billion-compared with the $5.6 billion that they received and spent in 1959-60. WHO PAYS? VIRTUALLY EVERY SOURCE of funds, of course____:,however it is labeled-boils down to you. Some :of the money, you pay directly: tuition, fees, gifts to the colleges and universities that you support. Other funds pass, in a sense, through channels-your church , the several levels of government to which you pay taxes, the business corporations with which you deal or in which you own stock. But, in the last analysis, individual persons are the source of them all. Hence, if you.wished to reduce your support of higher education, you could do so. Conversely (a.sis presumably the case with most enlightened parents and with most college alumni and alumnae), if you wished to increase. it, you could do that, also-with your vote and your checkbook. As is clearly evident in the figures above, it is essential that you substantially increase both your ;direct and your indirect support of higher education between now and 1970, if tomorrow's colleges and universities are to give your children the education that you would wish for them .

example, tuition fees for state residents may be nonexistent or quite low. At community colleges, located within commuting distance of their students' homes, room and board expenses may consist only of what parents are already paying for housing and food. At independent (non-governmental) colleges and universities, the costs may be considerably higher. In 1960-61, here is what the average male student spent at the average institution of higher education, induding junior colleges, in each o( the two categories (public and private): Public , Institutions Tuition. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $179 Board .... .... . .. .. . .. .. ....... . 383 Room .. .... ...... . . .... .. .. .. . . . 187 Total . .... .. ... . .. . .. .. .... .... $749

Private Institutions $ 676 404 216 $1,296

These, of course, are "hard-core" costs only, representing only part of the expense. The average annual bill for an unmarried student is around $1,550. This conservative figure, provided by the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan for the U .S. Office.of Education , does not include such items as clothing. And, as we ha\;e attempted to stress by italicizing the word "average" wherever it appears, the bill can be considerably higher , as well as somewhat lower. At a private college for women (which is likely to get relatively little money from other sources and must therefore depend heavily upon tuition income) the hard-core costs alone may now run as high as $2,600 per year . Every parent must remember that costs will inevitably rise, not fall, in the years ahead. In 1970, according to one estimate, the cost of four years at the average state university will be $5;800; at the average private college, $11,684. HOW' TO AFFORD IT? SUCH SUMS represent a healthy part of most families' resources. Hard-core costs alone equal, at public institutions , about 13 per cent of the average American family's annual income; at private institutions, about 23 per cent of average annual income. How do families afford it? How can you afford it? Here is how the typical family pays the current average bill of $1,550 per year:

\Nearly half of all parents begin saving money for their children's college education well before their children are ready to enroll . Fourteen per cent report that they borrow money to help meet college costs . Some 27 per cent take on extra work, to earn more money . .One in five mothers does additional work in order to help out . Financing the education of one's children is obviously,

for many families, a scramble-a piecing-together of many sources of funds. Is such scrambling necessary? The question can be answered only on a family-by-family basis. But these generalizations do seem valid: • Many parents think they are putting aside enough money to pay most of the costs of sending their children to college. But most parents seriously underestimate what these costs will be. The only solution: Keep posted, by checking college costs periodically. What was true of college costs yesterday (and even of the figures in this report, as nearly current as they are) is not necessarily ' true of college costs today. It will be even less true of college costs tomorrow. • If they knew what college costs really were, and what they are likely to be in the years when their children are likely to enroll, many parents could save enough money. They would start saving earlier and more persistently. They would gear their family budgets to the need. They would revise their savings programs from time to time, as they obtained new information about cost changes. • Many parents count on scholarships to pay their children's way. For upper-middle -income families, this reliance can be disastrous . By far the greatest number of scholarships are now awarded on the basis of financial need, largely determined by level of family income. (Colleges and other scholarship -sources are seriously concerned about the fact, indicated by several studies, that at least 100,000 of the country's high-school graduates each year are unable to attend college, primarily for financial reasons.) Upper-middle-income families are among those most seriously affected by the sudden realization that they have failed to save enough for their children's education. • Loan programs make sense. Since going to college sometimes costs as much as buying a house (which most families finance through long-term borrowing), long-term

Using the current and the 1970 figures that were cited earlier, tuition will probably have to carry, on the average, about 2 per cent more of the share of total educational costs than it now carries . Governmental support, 路although increasing by about a billion dollars, will actually carry about 7 per cent less of the total cost than it now does. Endowment income's share will remain about the same as at present. Revenues in the category of "other sources" can be expected to decline by about .8 per cent, in terms of their share of the total load. Private gifts and grants-from alumni, non-alumni individuals, businesses and unions, philanthropic foundations, and religious denominations-must carry about 6 per cent more of the total cost in 1970, if higher education is not to founder . Alumnae and alumni, to whom colleges and universities must look for an estimated 25 per cent ($505 million) of such gifts : please note . repayment of college costs, by students or their parents, strikes many people as highly logical. Loans can be obtained from government and from private bankers. Just last spring, the most ambitious private loan program yet developed was put into operation: United Student Aid Funds, Inc., is the backer, with headquarters at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, N.Y. It is raising sufficient capital to underwrite a reserve fund to entlorse $500 million worth of long-term, lowinterest bank loans to students. Affiliated state committees, established by citizen groups, will act as the direct contact agencies for students. In the 1957-58 academic year, loans for educational purposes totaled only $115 million. Last year they totaled an estimated $430 million. By comparison, scholarships from all sources last year amounted to only $160 million. IS THE COST TOO IDGH?

HIGH AS THEYSEEM,tuition rates are bargains, in this sense: They do not begin to pay the cost of providing a college education. On .the national average, colleges and universities must receive between three and four additional dollars for every one dollar that they collect from students, in order to provide their services. At public institutions, the ratio of non-tuition money to tuition money is greater than the average: the states typically spend more than $700 for every student enrolled . Even the gross cost of higher education is low, when put in perspective. In terms of America's total production of goods and services, the proportion of the gross national product spent for higher education is only 1.3 per cent, according to government statistics. To put salaries and physical plant on a sound footing, colleges must spend more money, in relation to the gross national product, than they have been spending in the past. Before they can spend it, they must get it. From what sources?

CAN COLLEGES BE MORE EFFICIENT?

INDUSTRIAL COSTACCOUNTANTS-and,not infrequently , other business men-sometimes tear their hair over the "inefficiencies" they see in higher education . Physical facilities--classrooms, for example-are in use for only part of the 24-hour day, and sometimes they stand idle for three months in summertime. Teachers "work"i.e., actually stand in the front of their classes-for only a fraction of industry's 40-hour week. (The hours devoted to preparation and research, without which a teacher would soon become a purveyor of dangerously outdated misinformation, don't show on formal teaching schedules and are thus sometimes overlooked by persons making a judgment in terms of business efficiency.) Some courses are given for only a handful of students. (What a waste of space and personnel, some cost analysts say.) 路 A few of these "inefficiencies" are capable of being curbed, at least partially. The use of physical facilities is being increased at some institutions through the provision df night lectures and lab courses . Summer schools and year-round schedules are raising the rate of plant utilization. But not all schools are so situated that they can avail themselves of even these economies. The president of the Rochester (N.Y .) Chamber of Commerce observed not long ago: "The heart of the matter is simply this : To a great extent, the very thing which is often referred 路 to as the 'inefficient' or 'unbusinesslike' phase of a liberal arts college's operation is really but an accurate reflection of its true essential nature . . . [American business and industry] have to understand that much of liberal education which is urgently worth saving cannot be justified on a dollars-and-cents basis." In short, although educators have as much of an obligation as anyone else to use money wisely, you just can 't run a 路college like a railroad. Your children would be cheated, if anybody tried.

In sum: HEN YOUR CHILDREN go to college, what will college be like? Their college will, in short, be ready for them . Its teaching staff will be competent and complete. Its courses will be good and, as you would wish them to be, demanding of the best talents that your children possess. Its physical facilities will surpass those you knew in your college years. The opportunities it will offer your children will be limitless. If. That is the important word. Between now and 1970 (a date that the editors arbitrarily selected for most of their projections, although the date for your children may come sooner or it may come later), much must be done to build the strength of America 's colleges and universities. For ,' between now and 1970, they will be carrying . an increasingly heavy load in behalf of the nation. They will need more money-considerably more than is now available to them-and they will need to obtain much of it from you.

They will need, as always, the understanding by thoughtful portions of the citizenry (particularly their own alumni and alumnae) of the subtleties, the sensitiveness, the fine balances of freedom and responsibility without which the mechanism of higher education cannot function. They will need, if they are to be of highest service to your children, the best aid which you are capable of giving as a parent : the preparation of your children to value thin:gs of the mirid, to know the joy of meeting and overcoming obstacles, and to develop their own personal independence. Âˇ Your children are members of the most promising American generation. (Every new generation, properly, is so regarded.) To help them realize their promise is a job to which the colleges and universities are dedicated. It is their supreme function. It is the job to which you, as parent, are also dedicated. It is your supreme function. With your efforts and the efforts of the college of tomorrow, your children's future can be brilliant. If.

Mns. CorwoN E. BAHLOW (Gladys Holleman) Smithfield, Virginia Our forty-fifth anniversary tea at Warsaw Plantation was enjoyed by the Class of '17 and many of its friends. Ruth Elliott Trice and Gladys Holleman Barlow were co-hostesses with Florence Boston Decker and her family. Anne Ruth Harris was detained in a hospital at Lucerne, Switzerland because of an accident while touring Europe . Other '17's who sent regrets were Florence Emeline Smith, Eleanor Copenhaver Anderson, Nannie Sydnor Warren, and Mabel Henderson Crabtree. Members from the classes of '15, '16, '18 and ' 19 as well as several faculty members of our day attended . brought his copies of The Pete Dunford Spider to help us recall how we once looked . We had loving memories of our deceased Olivia Decker, Eleanor Marshall members: Gwaltney Stallings, and Ruth Puckett Wysor. At the Alumnae luncheon on Saturday, our class received the prize for the best percentage of attendance . The festivities of the weekend so lifted our spirits that we were encouraged to look forward to our fiftieth reunion. 1922 Secretary

Mns. C1uRu:s H. WEST, J11. ( Eva Timb erlake) 303 St. David 's Lan e Richmond, Virginia The fortieth reunion of '22 was fun from the very moment we trooped in to Leslie Booker 's spacious house freshly clone over as just for us for the Friday night dinner. Among those who trooped were Rat Hoover all clone up in black lace, Julia Adams, fresh from her farm but trying not to look it, Edith Newton pretty as a speckled pup, Mildred Kline with all her Henna looking dignity and poise, Jeanette calm and intellectual and carrying reports about money, Shippie Hatz, sylph-like and serious, Muriel Saunders, gentle and gracious, Mary Fugate state ly and Deanish, Hilda Lawson Jecklin, informed and interestmg, Leslie Booker at the head of the table, talking every breath but never forgetting her duties as a hostess until there were thirteen of etc .-etc.-etc. and us. Later, Miss Keller, Miss Turnbull 1\1iss Crenshaw came in to renew acquaintance. Leslie outdid herself on that dinner. Thirteen of us were seated at one big beautiful cable and flowed and the good how the conversation food disappeared! Following dinner, at a brief business meeting, the following class officers were elected: President: Louise Shipman Hatz Secretary: Eva Timberlake West Fund Chairman: Jeanette Henna Next morning we took off for college, where we found the campus groomed to the nth degree. It was one of those soft, warm, still clays when the pines smelled pin ier and the birds sang sweeter. We first gathered around cbe coffee table in Keller Hall, the members of '22 sort of sticking together. Another member bad joined our ranks by this time - Louise

she 'd brought her attractive brother. Story-and There's just nothing like having a man in the party. At the alumnae meeting, Leslie told us $175,000 of itwe'd clone ic-we had it-all and chat soon we could go swimming! Following this, with a band playing, ~nd class banners waving, we marched to the swimming pool site where we had a program and shovel led dirt! Miss Crenshaw shovelled the most, for she seemed so happy that the wing bad been named in her honor. Members of ' 22 sat together at lunch, of course, which was served in the gym. Later in the afternoon, all alumnae went to Dr. and Mrs. Modlin's home to tea. This was indeed a happy occasion. We revelled in the beauty of the home, and the relaxed and happy atmosphere of the occasion. We sat on the lawn, watched the birds, enjoyed the trees, and talked to each other. The breakfast at Rat Hoover's home Sunday conclusion to our morning was a delightful reunion. Rachel Newton had joined our number by this time, and Miss Turnbull and Miss Keller were also guests. The dining room was full and we over-flowed to the porch. Rat ' s home is interesting, her food was superb, and she's as good a hostess as a history teacher. We reached one conclusion about ourselves look the same except at this reunion-we better. Won ' t we shine at our fiftieth? Julia Roop Adams 1924 S ecretar y

1941 Se cretary MRS. R. STUARTGRIZZARD(Barbara Eckles ) 2329 Farrand Driv e Richmond 31, Virginia May 5 was real May Day! My Patricia and journeyed out to th e campus to enjoy the festivities, and everybody was ag lo w (partly from the heat, 'tis true) with the beauty of the day itself . . . nothing like OUR May Day, when we shivered through the proceedings. The band provided additiona l pleasure and inspiration throughout the early afternoon; alumnae chi ldr en did their bit wit h the May Pole ; and the capacity crowd appeared to feel as one with che Senior Class. After the delicious box supper was served on the lawn, the Lantern Parade was not only beautiful but symbolic , as the sing in g light-bearers passed among us in the Greek Theatre and on out of sight, leaving reflections and echoes of their being there. It was quite cold by the time of the dance group's presentation, for which we were so glad we 'd waited. All day long we kept meeting friends from many classes, from many places. And I was conscious of my-your-changing role; from student to alumna to mama of an entering student. It doesn ' t take long for this to happen! Toni sent me two letters she'd received. One came from Sue Trussell Wright, Pore Washington, N. Y., who has her state certificate and does a good deal of substitute teaching, which she likes very much. She and her family were formulating long-range plans involving camping, boating and fishing. Then Ceci le Gaddis Smith wrote Toni of her family's trip taken last summer, when they spent three weeks camping throughout the West. Patsy, a Junior High student, plays the violin and piano, sings in her church choir, takes pare in various kinds of dancing and collects sea she lls . David, in second grade, plays ball the year 'round; he won a ribbon in the city hobby show (Gainesv ille, Fla.) for his collection of local butterflies. Nancy, in public kindergarten,

dances and has begun the violin. Kathy goes to musica l ki ndergarten, taking pre-ballet . Cecile has obtained her teacher's certificate but has not yet used it, since they have an acre of their own and marvelous house plans, which keep her busy. Church and community affairs absorb a good deal of the Smiths ' time. When I went with Stuart one night to the revival services in which he was preaching at Stukeley Ha ll Baptist Churc h here in the city, I was fortunate to hear Mary Buxton Smith ' s new cantata, "Earth's Darkest Hour." It was a moving composition with some particularly fine chord work expressing the essence of the original Good Friday. I was proud to know the composer! Phyllis Anne Coghill Brown and Elsie Vernon Satterwhite Elmore have had letters in the Richmond papers lately on important subjects, Phyllis Anne on behalf of the Planned Parenthood League and Elsie Vernon spea kin g for the PTA legislation committee to remind voters of the registration deadline. Jean Neasmith Dickinson's picture appeared in a recent newspaper upon her becoming chairman of Richmond's Beautification Committee. Dr. Sankey Blanton, president of our Croz er Seminary in Chester, Pa., has asked me to head an organization to be known as the Friends of Crozer, to aid the seminary in various ways. Connie Powell Luttrell will superintend activities in the Norfolk area . When Stuart was preaching in Raleigh in April he was a guest in the home of Betty Riley Johnson, who is secretary in the HayesBarton Methodist Chnrch. When others of our family went down for the weekend we vis ited Mrs. James Turner, who was mistress of ceremonies at Henrietta Sadler Ell wanger's wedding. It is a constant joyful mystery to observe how small the world truly is.

How nice it is to hear from some of you who have been silent for a few years. Last rime I shared with you the delightful Jeerer from Pam Carpenter Henry and chis time we can have a vicarious trip to Europe with Rose Kolcukian Wallace: "The biggest news these past few months is the very unexpected, but wonderful trip co Europe I had in January. Jim had to go on business for Monsanto and we had someone who would stay with our two boys-so it seemed like my big opportunity! And I cook it!" "It was a rush-rush trip, 2Â˝ weeks in all, but we had glimpses of a lot! Our first stop was Turin in Northern Italy for several days and then a fabulous week-end in the Swiss

University

Alps at a resort call ed Davos . This was a real fairy tale town; Jim had the skiing of his life and I took the cable car up and down the mountains. Our next stop was Iinz, Austria, where we were entertained in a lovely home by an equa ll y charming couple (she was a real Viennese doll!). From Austria to Barcelona, Spa in where I went co tea at a Spanish lady ' s at 6:30 P .M .--and we never -no never - had dinner before 10:30 P .M . An interesting spot with beautifu l shops, a medieval cathedra land peop l e who are ver y ric h or very poor - a land of contrasts. We then had a week-end in Paris where we wal k ed and wa lked-saw some of the usual sigh ts and had one of the best meals ever in a very inconspicuous little restaurant . From Paris to Cologne, Germany, where our hotel balco ny was right within spittin ' distance (and a gorgeous unblocked view) of the famous Cologne Cathedral. From Cologne we drove in a borrowed car along the Rhine River to Frankurt, passing at least 20 or 20 medieval castles along the way, perched atop their hill tops . Then by Boeing 707 jet to New York and home-and I'm still not really down to earth yet! Jim is going to Japan the end of March for about 4 to 6 weeks. I'm going to have a hard time staying home cherry blossom time-it's so tempting! But I guess I've shot our travel wad for this year-but next? Who knows ? Yes, I'm saving for it already. Kevin is doing well in second grade and Bruce enjoys nursery school. I'm still busy as chairman of the Friendship Group of our church but am looking forward to a free year next year so that maybe I can take a course in something-or at least do some serious, concentrated reading for a change." Thank you so much, Rose, for your wonderful letter . I hope you and Pam will inspire some of our long silent gals co corresponding activity . Recently I attended the Richmond Academy of Ballet and found that our class was well represented by performing daughters. Our twins, Emily and Diane, were in the show as were Max Williams Rogers ' Carol, Ka y Wray Ronick's Jennie, and Pudge Phillips Starke ' s Terry. Max tells me that Carol was asked to be in the current Barksdale theatre production and is at present doing three shows a week for a six weeks run. Quite a talented young one! Fran and Bob Bell were in town for the week before Easter. It was spring vacation time for Maine schools. We got several brief glimpses of them and an engaging ten year old Jonathan and a lovely fourteen year old Carolyn . Carolyn is as tall as Fran with beautiful red hair not quite as dark as her mother 's. We were sorry to learn of the death of Bob's father in Boston soon after their return home.

Recently my Bob and I were at Annapolis with our boys and I had an opportunity to call Bea Lewis T albott. She sounded gay and chipper and I trust I've talked her firmly into coming for our big reunion next year . She claimed " no news" from her territory but did say that Ann Oakes was coming for the week-end . I also ran into Sweetie Emerson McSweeny on a house tour during Garden Week . Sweetie looked wonderful and quite unlike the mother of EIGHT! One of the nicest things about living in Richmond is the people you keep running jnto. I may not be able to get many of you to give me much news to write about, but at least I keep seeing famili ar faces. Th e Richmond College Alumni supper brought into view Cozy, Puff, and Shirley Hu xter Corson wh o was up from H ampton with Bl ake. I was hobbling aro und with a sprained back but your other clas s representatives seemed quite hale and hearty. Shirley was another recruit for next year's reunion . Have you started making YOU R plans ? Virginia Delp Ogg was quite excited when I talked to her abo ut a prospective new dance group to be orga nized at the YWCA and which will be composed of deaf students. Shell

Mns . CLARKHUBER (Mar garet D. Clark ) 6009 Howard Road Ri chmond, Vir ginia talked on the phone the other night co Martha Tucker Bass, who had a nice piece of news for me-they have a new baby ac their house, Tommy, their third, who is now nine months old. Ann Seay Jackson tells me she and J . B. are moving into their new house at 760 7 Cornwall Road in Wescham in early June. They are going co cry moving in stages, but they still have my sympathy in all this heat. I was very pleased to get a card from Kathy Mumma Atkinson, who tells me she and Jack had a nice we ekend at the Chamberlin in February where they saw Bea Lewis Talbot and her family . Kathy tells me they have Jost a battle up there in Villanova , Pennsylvania to save the area from being torn up by an enormous highway . That ' s very sad as I well remember how lovely the Main Line used co be . A very entertaining letter came from Audrey Grubin Fixell who had quite a rollicking Mother ' s Day at the hands of Andrea, the new baby, Douglas 12, Daniel 10, and Virginia 6Â˝ -not to mention Zorro, the cat. Les has become president of his own company, Revere Factors Corporation, and Audrey is working towards her M.A. in Chemistry so she can teach in high school. She likes her education chis "slow and easy " way. More power to you, Audrey! The Fjxells covered Nova Scotia and New Brunswick on their vacation. 1947 Se cretary

We wish every single member of the class of '47 could have been back but since that could not be, I'll do my best to pass on the mountains of information we received. On Friday June 8th we gathered at the Holiday Inn for dinner. We numbered twenty-four. Perhaps you would like to know

We have been requested by the Alumnae Association to have three officers, a permanent class president, a fund raising chairman, and a secretary. Betty Andrews, Gin Ellet and I will fill these offices. On Saturday we went back to the campus. The highlight of the morning was the ground breaking ceremony for the swimming pool wing. I t will be known as the Fanny G. Crenshaw Wing. A check was presrnted to Dr. Modlin for $ 175,000. It represented a good many years of work and contributions from about 2000 Alumnae . Afterwards we enjoyed a delightful luncheon in the gym . Dr. and Mrs. Modlin entertained at tea in their home in the late afternoon. On Saturday night Marion Collier Miller entertained us at supper in her home. le was a lovely party and we picked up the talking right where we stopped the night before. On Sunday morning several of the girls stopped by my house for coffee on the way out of town . The reunion week-end was a really successful one and we owe Betty Andrews a great deal for making most of the arrangements. A nice newsy letter came from Howie Bingham Kiser in Trenton, New Jersey.

She and her family have been in Alabama chis winter while Dean took classes at Auburn University. They plan ro return co Vicksburg. She expects to be in Richmond in July with her three children.

An interesting letter came from O lli e Menefee Sti rli ng, wishing the states of Ca liforn ia and Virgi nia were closer.

One of our most interesting reunion items was the news about Beth Decker's wedding. She was married to Dr. Robert W . Kimball on June 23rd in the Memorial Baptist Church in Arlington, Va . Susie Guard Woody was an attendant and Susie's daughter, Beth, a flower girl. The reception was he ld at Collingwood on the Potomac. The Kimballs will live in New York .

Jeanette Adehold Brown writes that her three daughters keep her busy. The oldest one is involved in piano lessons, horse-back riding and Brownies. Eleanor Easley Barnes has become interested in painting since college days. She says that most of her paintings seem to end up as abstract designs with the idea of contributing to the color scheme of the room. Her daughters Anne and Clara will be three and two this summer.

(Bettie Snead) Boydton, Vir ginia I just don ' t know where to begin telling you about our wonderful 10th Reunion. Those who were there will never forget the fun; dampened only by the fact that everyone could not be there. Our Banquet Friday night, arranged by Sue Peters Hall, Monty Wiley Schutte and Claire Carlton was lovelv. We want to thank them for all their hard work. There were twenty-seven girls back for that and Sue had a hard tim e presiding when everyone keot on talking! There were changes in our officers: Monty is our permanent class president, Claire and Isab el Sanford Rankin are co-chairmen for the Fund and somehow I, being giddy from all the excitement, accepted the job of secretary . Our thanks go to Betty Hurt Beasley for being our secretary. We were sorry she couldn ' t make the Reunion. After dinner we decided it would be interesting to have a " round-table" with each one tellin g some highlights from their bus y lives for the past ten years. Jackie Gerson Lowenstein, Isabel, N ancy Clement Edmonds, Lee Persons H ays, and Bertha Cosby King (lives in Franklin, Va.) left before the informal discussion began so I am sorry I have no up to date news from them, other than they live in Richmond . I found out later that Jeanie Hootman Hopkins is living in Front Royal. She volunteered to be a group-leader; I hope oth ers will do likewise. Harriett Stubbs Johnson goc the ball rolling by telling us of her plans for the summer. She and her husband and their two boys are going camping-hiking with packs their own weight through the Adirondacks. David works for 3M and she is going to do Cancer Research at the University of Minnesota chis fall.
