"Education suflTv.s in America from
confusion of purposes," H. W. Holmes
dean of the Harvard graduate school
of education, told a Crimson reporter,
in another diagnosis of the country's
educational ills. "Justified a hundredfold in our faith in schooling as an
instrument of democracy." he said,
"we have cared more for the spread
of education than for its fitness for
special ends . . . The root of the
difficulty lies in the relationship between the secondary schools and the
colleges.- - .Our students come to college 'prepared,' but with hardly the

Says That Demand For Technically Trained Men Is
Unsupplied
The following is the text of an address delivered over radio station
hotel, Detroit,
WJR, the
on Friday, April G, by F. Paul Anderson, dean of the Engineering College
at the University. Dean Anderson,
who is accompanying the senior engineers on their' annual inspection
trip, was asked to speak whilq the
entourage was in Detroit.
"America is busy supplying the
world with manufactured products.
"The first attempt to .apply the
principle of production on this planet
was in 1807 when Eli Terry of Connecticut made a. contract to produce
3,000 clocks all alike in one year; today it is the ambition of a Detroit
Automobile manufacturer to build
3,000 cars a day every day of the
year.
"This speeding up of the world's
work has created an unsupplied demand for technically trained men.
"All over this country universities
are giving to those alert youths who
have the grit and ambition" to carry
on in one of the thorough courses of
engineering the academic foundation
of successful careers in industry.
"The colleges of engineering are
swamped with orders for youngsters
who finish the undergraduate courses
and are ready to take up the process
of learning some one's business.
"The college of engineering that
sets out to make a finished engineer
is spoiling good material.
"Colleges can only give the fundamental training, the industries are
able and enthusiastic about qualifying
the college man to be a specialist
eminently fitted to first preserve the
traditions of any industry then to
prove valuable in developing any industry.
"We have just brought to Detroit

Funeral of Dr. D. C. Hull to Be Executive Committee
Held in Meridian,
Conference ReiterMississippi
ates 1920 Resolution.
Inter-Fraterni-

Dr. D. C. Hull, president of Ken
tucky Wesleyan College for the past
three years, quietly passed away on
Wednesday night, April 14, after a
lingering illness. A beautiful memorial service was held in the college
chapel Thursday afternoon. Speakers
representing the faculty, board of
trustees, Methodist church, the citi
zens of Winchester and Clark county,
and the studentf body paid tribute .to
the memory of the deceased president.
The body was conveyed to Lexing
ton at the head of a long procession
of loved ones and friends, where it
was placed on train en route to Meridian, Miss. The funeral ceremony
and interment took place at the latter
city, the former home of Dr. and Mrs.

The attention of the executive committee of the Interfraternity Conference has been called to the fact that
at many . colleges and universities
e
fraternity initiations are
again becoming matters of common
occurrence. The executive committee
believes that under the circumstances
it would be wise to call attention
again to the attitude of the Interfraternity Conference, as set out in a
resolution of the Conference adopted
n 1920, which reads as follows:
"Whereas, it appears from reports
here that hazing in fraternities still
exists, arising from practices in initiations, either in real or fake initiations, either before, or during the
ceremonies of initiation, and
"Whereas, the Interfraternity Conference has at divers times and by
resolution in 1920 Conference, con
demned these practices,
"Therefore, be it
"Resolved, That it is the sense of
this Conference that .this Conference
e
condemn these practices of
initiations, whether fake initiations or a part of the real initiations,
whether preceding or made a" part
of the ceremonies, incident to initiation at any time or in any form.
"We consider these practices as
silly and dangerous, as opposed to
the dignity and ideals of college fraternities, and injurious to their good
name, and we recommend that all
fraternities take steps to eliminate
any such practice from their own or
ganizations, if same be indulged in,

there is no searching inquiry into educational values, and the true werth
of study is 'obscured.
"The commanding problem of liberal education in America is the problem of unifying secondary education
and collegiate education without denying the essential characters nad
modern development of i';ther. To
find a remedy for the existing situation is a difficult problem. The system of concentration and distribution,
now used here at Harvard, with general examinations at the final stages
of progress in the subjects of concentration might be tried in the preparatory schools, and prove the solution
to the problem. There munt be. however, cooperation with the colleges,
and one college must take the lead in
