Room for Improvement
Those students who slept in Tuesday or hibernated in the
library or spent the afternoon playing cards at the Student
Union missed a truly stimulating experience in the Univer
sity’s first annual celebration of Charter Day.
The administration is to he commended for its presentation
of such a fine program on the campus. Too often in the uni
versity environment the educational offering is limited to such
things as the memorizing of French verbs or dates in United
States history.
The student who refused to avail himself of the opportu
nity to hear at least one of the three outstanding scholars
on campus Tuesday was only cheating himself. Slavish
devotion to text book assignments may win him that elusive
4-point; it will not make him the well-educated individual.
For a first-time offering, Charter Day was a success. Poor
attendance at the inauguration ceremonies can be attributed
to the violent hail storm which “rained-out.” the cross-campus
academic procession. However, turnout for Huxley's morning
lecture was the largest we’ve seen for any campus guest
speaker, in spite of the rain.
There were several “bugs” in the program which we hope
will be eliminated from future Charter Day celebrations.
The speech by Zechariah Chafee Jr. Tuesday evening
was a fitting climax to the day’s events. Unfortunately
someone failed to make adequate provision for larger stu- 1
dent participation. The speech should have been held in
Mac court instead of the SU ballroom, even if this incon- j
venienced the faculty members who attended the preceding
banquet.
Many students complained that they could not attend
Charter Day events because they had to study for midterms.
The unusually high amount of midterms this week (only the
fourth week of classes in an eleven-week term) indicates
that many faculty members were not willing to give full
support to the program. The administration can hardly expect
students to devote an entire day to such a program when they
must take several midterms during the following two or ,
three days.
We also think it unfortunate that more students did not
have an opportunity to meet our three distinguished visitors
on a more personal level. Smaller coffee hour forums or
departmental seminars should have been planned for all three
speakers. Interested students could learn a great deal more
from these men in such small gatherings than they did as
members of a large lecture audience, which eliminated the
possibility of conversational exchange.
We hope the administration in planning future Charter
Day celebrations will take some of these suggestions into
consideration. It will then be up to the individual student to
decide for himself the merit of participation.
