     VIEWING PROBLEMS

          It is desirable now and then, in conducting an enter-
     prise, to have an outsider look at it to see what he thinks
     about it, and how he regards it as a going concern, This
     process is quite worthwhile in education where there are
     many problems, possibly confusion and even chaos, due to
     a rapidly changing industrial and social organization, not
     only national but world wide in extent.    Education must
     feel these changes and therefore must evaluate the work.
     it is doing from time to time.    With some of these points
     in mind, I asked Dr. R. M1. Hughes, former president of
     the Iowa State College, to visit the University of Ken-
     tucky, and give his judgment on some of the important
     matters confronting the institution.    President Hughes
     spent eleven days here and hie would be the first to say
     his visit was too short to go into many of the problems
     that are before us.   Nevertheless, he did make observa-
     tions on attendance, small classes, graduate work, ad-
     ministering dining halls and athletics that are worthy
     of considerationi
