First Campus Forum Takes Up Education Leighton and Townsend Open Discussion Failure io Advance, Great Inconsistency Claimed As Present Trends Dr. Ralph W. Leighton, of the education department, and Dr. Harvey G. Townsend, professor of philosophy, opened the first meet ing of the University Forum last night with an expression of their views on "What is wrong with higher education?” About 50 fac ulty members and students were present at this open discussion held in the faculty room in Friendly hall. “It is my contention that high er education has not kept abreast with the times,” Dr. Leighton stated. "The very nature of higher education is conservative.” Society Develops Rapidly He further pointed out that it tends to cling to old, established ideals and sees the values of tra dition. He contended, however, that in society, the rate of develop ment has been very rapid and that it brought pressure of new prob lems which are' steadily increasing and which force people to meet ever new and unpredictable situa tions. These problems have proven that many old, established ideals and traditions are no longer use ful. iwo cnaracierisucs wmcn are indispensable in meeting new and unpredictable situations which are ever arising when going out into the world,” said Dr. Leighton, are first, a certain amount of in sight or ability to see ahead and secondly, a certain ability of in vention. An individual should he flexible and sensitive to his sur roundings.” Dr. Leighton maintained that higher education had not kept abreast of the times because it failed to turn out men and women who had, in his opinion, these vital characteristics. A different view was given by Dr. Harvey G. Townsend, profes sor of philosophy, in his presenta tion of the subject under discus sion. His definition of a university was “an establishment for the ex tension and preservation of learn ing.” “Higher institutions of higher learning have assumed one task after another until it is hard to tell where the university ends and an other Institution begins,” Dr. Townsend said. "The university lias often neglected its own task to dp the task of some other insti tution such as the home, the church, the clinic, and others.” As an example of this Dr. Town send told of a university in Okla homa which gives credit for en tertaining at afternoon teas. "Does this type of thing belong in an institution of higher learning? I think not." “The great distinction between the human animal and oilier types is tiiat lie is a civilized animal and the university should extend and preserve this civilization,” Dr. Townsend said. “Knowledge is not dogma hut a living process and the university which fails to serve that maximum is certuin to fail in achieving t lie goal extending and preserving learning.” He pointed out that there is a tendency to yield to the clamor of quick returns and that in doing so people constantly confuse learning with propaganda in their haste to “use” knowledge. “Knowledge is the flower of civ ilization. It is its own end and re sult.” A discussion followed which in dicated two or more opinions on what the goal or function of edu cation is.

KNUDSEN Dramatic Honoraries \ S a means for those University students interested in dramat ics to get together, exchange ideas, and produce original works of their own, there are two honor so cieties on the campus. Although not essentially a pro ducing group, the National Collegi ate Players is probably one of the best known honoraries for further ing the work of the legitimate stage. Both men and women are admitted. Membership is restricted to only those who have demon strated decided excellence in dra matic work. An all-around knowledge of play producing is necessary, although one may specialize in any one branch of the subject more than in others. Phi Beta is the other society for those who have shown merit in ar tistic work. It is listed as both a dramatic and musical honorary. At the present time most of its ef forts have been concentrated on music. One of the most notable features of Phi Beta and one which would certainly keep it from being condemned as a useless honorary in case such an investigation were to be made on this campus is its scholarship fund. The fund is as sembled each year for the purpose of enabling needy but outstanding students in music to continue their education. Frances Brockman, well known University violinist received this scholarship at one time. Actor Continues Work William Thienes, a student of dramatics on this campus last year, is now attending the dramat ic school at Pasadena, California, He gained entrance there through outstanding work which won him a two year’s scholarship. Douglas Montgomery, of cinema fame, is a graduate of the Pasadena school. BOVARD WILL SPEAK Dean John F. Bovard, of the school of physical education, will speak Tuesday, November 13, at a P. T.
