And then again there is the inescapable necessitv for progress. Universities, some say, should
guard against acquiring the characteristics of the

responsibilitv of training youth for that future.
And since aviation necessarily demands intelligence, and since intelligent youth are most
highlv concentrated on the campuses of the nation, it seems only just that the universities take
the lead in schooling future pilots.
