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.

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. A. meeting in Hillsboro. The
topic of his speech will be "Com
munity Recreation."
