S.S. Smith Would Retain
Present College System
By SADIE MITCHELL
Opposing a plan submitted by Harry Beal Torrey, a former Stan
ford instructor, to abolish the present college requirement system,
and iri its place to substitute a phrely elective system, Professor S.
Stephenson Smith, of the English department, said yesterday, “Under
such a plan most students would be tempted to follow the line of
least resistance, allowing only a little learning to seep in through the
process of osmosis.
“Students have been conditioned by 12 years of doing what they
are required to do, and if sudden
ly all compulsory education were
removed, they would not acquire as
much knowledge as they do under
the present system,” he explained.
Professor Torrey says, “Let the
freshmen loaf . . . then place be
fore them thoroughly attractive
courses, and the same appetite
which brought them to college
will not allow them to abstain
from consuming as many ideas as
they are capable of digesting.”
Professor Smith, however, be
lieves that such a system would
spread the range of knowledge
over too wide a field, and it would
make for nothing common in edu
cation. “If the proposed system
could get students to be indepen
dent and self-directing it would be
of great value, but it would be
hard to put into practice in a state
university,” he said.
Professor Smith, who was per
sonally acquainted with Torrey
when the latter was an instructor
at Reed college, said that the plan
would be more likely to work if
all university instructors were as
vigorous, able, and interesting as
Torrey was. “He practiced what
he preached,” said Smith, “and he
was a very successful, and inspir
ing teacher.”
She has never considered being an
independent an obstacle to any of
her personal accomplishments. The
only advantages one gets being af
filiated with a sorority are social,
she says, and they are overrated.
Clare is an authority on where
to go on picnics, being an enthus
iastic picnicker herself and hav
ing lived all her life in Eugene.
As busy as she is, she finds time
for such pleasures and has some
hobbies as well. 0
Likes to Play Piano
She plays the piano during a lot
of spare moments. She has never
had a lesson but, to quote Clare,
she plays with both hands.
Clare claims she has no eccentric
mannerisms that she knows of,
but she hates for people to read
newspapers while they eat. She
loves to read a book while she
eats but finds it very embarrass
ing for a person to bury himself
behind a newspaper.

A moment later the curtains
