* An Idea Which Kentucky Could Copy

The decision of 21 loading Clove-lan- d
firms to donate one percent of
their profits, before taxes, to higher
education appears at first glance to
be an act of unusual generosity. And
so it is. But it is also realistic acof the fact that
knowledgement
American colleges, especially the private colleges, are going to be able to
accept and educate the coming generation of applicants only if all businesses agree on a similar contribution.
Tin's applies to Kentucky as well
as the rest of the country. A college
education, as everyone is aware, is
becoming increasingly expensive, both
for the student and for the college.
Classrooms cost more. Laboratory
equipment is more complicated and
expensive. Good professors must be
paid enough to keep them front leaving for industrial jobs. Even public
institutions, with their access to tax
funds, are beginning to look anxiously
to the federal government for help.

The private schools, without tax support, are forced to rely on tuition
and gifts, and in many instances
tuition has risen about as high as it
can without discouraging able but
students.
financially-pincheWhile the one percent of earnings contributed by the Cleveland
firms seems generous, it actually constitutes the minimum that American
businesses must donate to education
in the coming decade if the schools
are to survive in their present pattern
and continue to offer scholarships to
deserving students. The Council for
Financial Aid to Education estimates
that all higher education spending

A Doctor's Education
More medical knowledge has been
won during the last twenty years than
in all time. To live in the midst of
explosive advances in medicine leads,
to serious thought, for the breathtaking prospects that science is opening up include a host of concomitant
problems, especially at the focal
point the medical schools of the nation.
Among questions that harass the
deans of the 85 U. S, medical schools
and give grey hairs to the professors
are these: How can the nation's medical schools produce enough physicians to keep pace with the rapid
growth in population and the demands of the American public for
better medical care? How can a medical student be expected to learn
in his four years at medical school
and several more in hospitals all he
must know in view of the fantastic
advances in medicine? In an age of
science and specialization, how can
doctors develop a compassionate
understanding of an ill person and
effects of
appreciate the
the illness upon him and his family?
What effects will the increasingly vast
expenditures for research have on
medical education and how can the
medical schools maintain a proper
balance between teaching and research?
The doctor, teacher, and student
shortages are only a part of the national problem in medical education.
Another difficulty is posed by the
rapid and massive accumulation of
new knowledge during the past two
decades. This has created painful
pedagogical headaches. The origin of
the word "curriculum,' as Dean Berry
r
reminds his
students, is
"race track" and the track at Harvard
and other schools is in danger of becoming extremely difficult for the
first-yea-

student because of the vast mass of
scientific facts, tools, and hypotheses.
For instance, the invention of the
electron microscope in the
an instrument that magnifies objects
100 fold more than does the light
microscope, has added tremendously
to the range of visible structure. The
electron microscope only one of the
new device's now available to extend
man's vision is opening breathtaking
vistas for medicine. It is now possible
to examine in minute detail the anatomy of any cell at the molecular
level from a reproductive cell carrying genetic characteristics to a brain
cell that contributes to the thinking
process. Textbooks in many fields are
being outdated before they can be
printed.
Fifty years ago President Lowell
warned the Faculty of Medicine that
there was a tendency to treat the
medical student as if he were a
"goose to be stuffed." Dean Berry
worries that, with more facts now
available for the stuffing, the tendency is again to dominate the medical
scene and sacrifice education for vocational training. The School's policy
is to teach the principles of medicine
to medical students and to leave
specialization for the
years in the teaching hospitals. "What
we seek here," Dean Berry tells the
entering medical students, "is education, not training. It is better for a
student to know less when he graduates provided he has learned better
how to learn. The most important element in education is the student's
growth, and the best way to grow
is to know what questions to ask.
Medical education is good when it
is good education."

COUIUKR-JOVRXA-

Accelerating The Gifted
of
and the

The demand of the talented student is for a clear break from the
high school pattern. He wants a new
level not only in course content but
in maturer and deeper approaches to
learning. Acceleration by itself will
only seem to parallel what good students are becoming increasingly
familiar with in high school. As David
Riesman has said, the student wants
to feel that "something earthshaking"
has happened when he comes to college. Because students are coming
to college better prepared and better
informed than previously, "the demands put on the colleges today for
superlative quality are ever so much
greater than most of us recognize."
With the possible exception of
areas of protracted
and professional education medicine
for example the virtues of acceleration per se are far outweighed by the
need for penetration in depth, for
syntheses needed for the matured insight, and for the realization of the
interdependence of knowledge and
values. This takes time. Gavin De
Beer of the British Museum has for
these reasons said that his impulse
always is to hold the bright student
back. A weakness of our American
culture has been the worship of speed
as such often the most effective way
of missing as much as possible between any two given points.
The proper place for acceleration
is primarily at the level of propaedeu

tics
skills, tools and
mastery
data mathematics,
languages, etc.
This points to the grades and to the
high school. At these levels, as is
rapidly being demonstrated through
the advanced placement and other
programs, students can move ahead
without loss and can arrive in college
prepared for richer fare than it has
been the custom to offer them.
At its best acceleration in college
can give the abler student time time
to explore more fields prior to his
decision on a major, time to take
more work in other fields once he
has realized the interinvolvement of
disciplines, time to delve more deeply
into his specialty and to take a graduate course or two as a senior. Its
greatest contribution will le manifested in the undergraduate's power
to press for richness as a junior or
senior. The maximum benefits of acceleration, however, will only be realized when the climate of the college
favors the intellectual rather than the
vocational goals of education. It is
when the latter goals prevail that acceleration is treated as the preferred
educational strategy for the gifted.
If we concern ourselves with the
climate and equality of education, the
limits of acceleration will become
clear.
