of
and the British Commonwealth
Nations has increased in the past
century from 20,000,000 to 170,000,000,
in how far will the continued growth

College Papers Endeavor to

Cecil

Rhodes
Funds; Franklin Russell
Heads Movement

(By New Student Service)
An American trust fund for Oxford
University, to be used either for research, building, or for supplementing
the Cecil Rhodes fund, is being planned by American Rhodes scholars. On
June 18 former Rhodes men will meet
to decide what form their "payment
to Rhodes" shall take. Franklin F.
Russell, New York attorney, who is
leading the movement said of it:
"The idea began to take shape some
time ago. There is no hope or need
of a concerted 'drive' such as American universities hold occasionally, and
one of its main purposes is to establish a means by which anyone who
might want to in this country could
donate or bequeath money to Oxford.
"We plan to do two things on June
18. First, to form a Rhodes Scholarship Alumni AssociationSn this country, with officers and a definite structure; second, to establish the trust
fund.
"We wand American Rhodes scholars to decide what to do with the
money
in cooperation, of course,
with Oxford authorities. Perhaps we
an provdide additional fellowships, or
lectureships. We might even make
contributions toward new buildings
at the university.
"Perhaps in the course of fifty
years or so it will be found that living expenses and other matters have
made the present Rhodes endowment
inadequate for its present purposes.
In such a case the American fund
might fit in as a sort of payment to
;he founder for the benefits which
American college men have received
at the British institution."

Out of the hundreds of answers to
the questionnaire, only five students
thought that the ideal professor
should be a lecturer to relate his own
point of view or results of study to
his students.
Evidently the students are wishing
for an impossible person if these ideas
represent their real desires. Under
our .present system, whereby students are given grades, supposedly
according to their ability, it is next
to impossible for the professor to be

Kansan.
One of the crying needs of the profession today is the acceptance of
the challenge being issued by college
presidents, patrons of higher education, publicists, philosophers, and scientific students of education that we
put college teaching on a plane of
excellence that will be impervious to
hostile criticism. We all know that
teaching skill is a gift, in part. How
can we prove that it is also the result
of growth and specific training? And
how can we unite in perfecting our
technique and improving ourselves to

Daily News.
There is a fine mark of distinction
which separates a good instructor
from a mediocre one, which classifies
the professors who merely instruct
and those who put their subjects
across in an understandable way.
That distinction is largely in the

mental attitude of the instructor. If
he believes that all he has to do is
to assign lessons, ask questions, and
correct papers, his results will be
mediocre. But if he is convinced that
he is the principal factor in whether
his students learn or not, if he believes that he must make each assignment stand out as an integral
part of a whole, if he realizes that
the way he conducts his class governs
the knowledge the students gain from
it, and that the corrections he makes
on papers mean a great deal to the
individual student, he will stand out
from the crowd as an instructor with
soul. Iowa State Student.

Because he refuses to act as an
administration catspaw and censor
discussions, Dr. G. A. Lundburg has
resigned his post on the faculty committee of the Universi'i' of Pittsburgh Liberal Club.
This faculty
committee passes on speakers who
are brought to the University. In his
letter of resignation Dr. Lundburg
said:
"When I accepted your invitation to
serve as faculty adviser of he Liberal Club, I was under Hhe impression
that my function was purely that of
advising the club as to what I consider worthwhile in problems for the
club.

"It appears, however, that the fac
ulty advisors are in reality a board
of censors through which the
desires to protect students
against new, and in its opinion possibly dangerous, ideas. I consider a
university campus as the fittest of
all places for a free discussion of any
ideas, theories, or practices that are
current anywhere in the world. I
cannot therefore, voluntarily become
the administra''or of a policy to which
I am fundamentally opposed, and
have so informed the administration."

successfully cooperate with our students in meeting their requirements
and sending them forth fortified to
face the hazards of their callings and
the resistance of a conservative world
order? Carroll D. Champlin, Pennsylvania State College.
The idea that any normal, healthy
undergraduate could be seen in company with a professor or be so queer
as to call on him at his home, is of
comparitively recent origin. The taboo against the professor is one of
the unreasonable prejudices that students of the twentieth century have
had wisdom enough to cast off. Faculty and student body have ceased
to glower at each other from opposite J
sides of the fence. They now occa-lsionally dare sit together in informal
conversation on the top rail. Yale

(By New Student Service)
New Orleans, La. Taking the affirmative side of the question, "Resolved: "That (the Curtis-Ree- d
bill for
establishing a Department of Education should be enacted into law," the
debating team of John McDonogh
Girls' High school defeated the Warren Easton Boys' High' school.
The affirmative maintained that
bill providing a Dethe Curtis-Ree- d
partment o f Education would
strengthen state control of schools,
reduce illiteracy, and place education on a par with labor and commerce by having a secretary represented in the President's cabinet. The
negative argued that under the present bureau education has prospered,
illiteracy has declined, schools are
progressing rapidly, and that, above
all, the establishment of a Department of Education would detract
from states' rights by eventually giving the federal government control
of the schools.
