College Professors Poor Teachers, Says Dr. Conklin at Frosh Assemby Definite Concentration Is Necessary i f Student Wants To Obtain Much From Everyday Work “As a rule, college professors are very poor teachers,” said Dr. Edmund S. Conklin, head of the psychology department, in a talk to the freshman class last night on the subject of “How To Use Your Mind.” “The thing for the freshman to do is to study his professors and their ways of teaching.” Concentration of a very definite kind is necessary if the student ex pects to obtain much from study, according to Dr. Conklin. He also said that work must be planned if the student wishes to complete all of his tasks, since the college man or woman must expect to do far more than was done in high school. The meeting was opened with two solos by Professor Roy Bry son of the music department, and closed with the usual rendition of the "Pledge Song” by the class. No business was transacted. Motion Pictures of Washington Shown Motion pictures showing the city of Washington, D. C., were presented in Villard hall last night at eight o'clock.
