Scholars vs. Teachers
JN AN article printed yesterday in tho Emerald, Prof. W. P.
Boynton, of the department of physics and chairman of the
Schedule Committee, outlines the Saturday class plan and gives
some of the reasons which have influenced the committee into
feeling that the plan is necessary for relief of classroom con
gestion.
The motion, reading as follows: “To open Saturday to the
regular scheduling of classes: i. e. to adjust the present sched
uling scheme so that it will be possible to arrange a 3-3 and 4-2
plan for classes, with an opening for morning laboratories,” ap
pears to contain a number of angles, however, which are not
at first apparent but would markedly affect campus life if the
plan were placed in operation.
One of the biggest objections to such a system would be the
opening of morning hours for laboratory work. Laboratory
periods usually are of two and three hours. It is difficult to
?ee just how the arrangement of class schedules can be arranged
so that other than an almost intolerable situation would result.
At present, laboratory periods generally fall during the late
afternoon and no conflict with regular one hour lectures occurs.
If the student has laboratory periods during the mornings of
retain days, he will have to take his lectures during other morn
ing's of the week, and in the afternoons. How then will he be
able to obtain a free day to work?
It appears that endless confusion would result and l)r. Boyn
ton, himself, states, “The committee recognizes that its proposal
will call for some readjustments of the. campus life, and occa
sionally work real hardship.” He goes on to say that no alter
natives can be seen now, which are at the same time possible,
economical, ai’,1 equally acceptable.
from the experience of this year, it does not seem that the
present situation is as unsatisfactory as the proposed plan
would be. In fact, it is entirely possible that adoption of the
six day scheme will, contrary to working an improvement, onlv
make matters worse.
It is advocated that the plan is economical. On what basis?
That this “educational plant” will give a larger interest return
on the investment by utilizing it one more day out of each
seven? There are only a certain number of professors. There
are not enough funds available to hire more. There are few
members of the faculty who would be in favor of conducting
more classes a week than they do at present. There wou'd be
no greater yet urn if the “plant” is used one day more a week
if the total number of classes conducted was not increased.
Faculty members know, which many laymen do not. that
their most valuable work is accomplished outside the classroom.
It is in the time given to research and study which distinguishes
a scholarly faculty members in a university from those who
are merely teachers. To ask that they conduct more classes
each week would be, from the business standpoint, alone, a poor
investment of the money which is drawn for their salaries.

serious. The men who are working

“My heart fills with tears every

the author of these lines had been
using the feature articles of some
