New Thought Expressed by Glenn Frank Student in Average University Is Today in Danger, of Fall ing Victim to Too. Much Smattering or Suicidal Specialization" (By Richard Gilbert Massock MADISON, Wis., Oct. 4. (AP) Educators are approach ing the task of making university graduates something more than specialists in circumscribed fields, or storehouses of purposeless learning. One of the first laboratories for developing greater and more useful enjoyment of advanced education will be the University of . Wisconsin, where an experimental college, a sort of university within a university is "being set up. Glenn Frank, the youthful journalist and educator, sat in his office and In characteristic l phraseology unfolded for the first time some new ideas, unusual thoughts and conclusions ground ed in his first year's experience in the presidency of the univer sity. It was his 39th birthday anni versary. He was as alert, as en thusiastic as when he came to Madison, slightly more than a year ago, to be director of the ex ploration of thousands of young men and women into the var.t ac cumulation of the learning of the ages. "Mass education has produced new problems n university edu cation," the writer ventured. "What do you consider the doings of present teaching methods and what do you consider the chal lenge to teachers in the great edu cational institutions?" "The student In the average univesrity is today in danger of falling victim to either of two dangers- the danger of suicidal smattering or the danger of sui cidal specialization," he replied. "The challenge to educators is to devise ways and m Ans of in suring to student both the ad vantages of broad cultural back ground and the advantages of in tensive specialization, later. '.'This must be done,-! think, Is by concentrating ourattention on the first two years of college as a period to be devoted to the con-J quest of a cultural background and the development of a genera? intellectual technique for the finding one's way about in modern society. I do not think this car be achieved today by turning stn dents loose to take a series oi separate studies. . Some radically new approach to this problem h necessary, an approach that may mean the complete scrapping ol the present curriculum." "How would you begin to search for the path that leads to solu tion of the problem?" was th next query. "No one of us knows what that approach should be," he said "Some of us have our guesses But they must be ruthlessly test ed by experiment. That is why we are setting up at Wisconsin, In side oar college of liberal arts, an experimental college of 250 stu dents in which we shall be free tc try a'wholly new approach to thii part of higher education. We are going at it exactly as a scientist would go at his experiments on cahcer in his laboratory.
