THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
EMINENT EDUCATORS HOLD A SYMPOSIUM
Doctor Coffman Spoke on Future of State Universities
The prominent educators of the country who were here to attend the inauguration of Chancellor Lindley and the commencement exercises last week met Tuesday afternoon in Fraser for the purpose of discussing the problems confronting institutions of higher learning at the present time. Dr. W. M. Jardine, president of the Kansas State Agricultural College, presided over the meeting which was over the inauguration day program.
The first paper was presented by Dr. Lotus D. Coffman, president of the University of Minnesota, and one of the youngest university presidents of this country. His paper dealt with the history of the university as a permanent institution.
The war, he said, is responsible for the fact that the universities are not overcrowded now as they would otherwise have been. Now, however, the students who would have attended had not broken out are compared to sheep in a forest where the regular inflow from the high schools and preparatory institutions.
He then took up the attitude of states tread their universities and state schools. "It is the fear of the people of the states that the universities are becoming too large that prompts the legislatures to cut down the appropriations," he said. "The overcrowding of our schools makes it necessarily expensive to discover those who may achieve."
Dr. Coffman estimated that the enrolment in universities would be almost doubled in the next decade and he branded as ridiculous the thought that the states would be unable to pay the increased expense. According to the speech, "the better fitted men and women will make it more possible to meet the added cost," "Colleges and wealth go hand in hand," he said.
He also emphasized the states' ability to pay by pointing out that this country spent five times as much for unnecessary luxuries, year as for buying food. The money being expended for chewing gum as was spent in training teachers.
Following Dr. Coffman's discussion, Dr. John M. Coulter, of the University of Chicago, read a paper on "The Endowed University." The author is implicated when it has to depend on his friends for its future," he said.
Dr. Coulter placed the main weakness of the present university system in this country in the fact that the university is expensive and too easy to obtain a degree.
The discussion of Dr. Albert Kirk, of Southwest College at Winfield, dealt with the problems of "The Endowed College." He spoke of the difficulties confronting the small colleges on getting competent instructors and caring for the finances of such institutions with the small number of alumni that the average small endowed college has. He also especially emphasized the importance to its immediate community.
NO ROOM RENT REDUCTIONS
Usual Winter Rates Will Apply in Summer
in Summer
Contrary to custom, the Rooming House Association will not make any reduction in the price of rooms for summer session students, according to Mrs. Charles Sterling, president of the organization. Though there will be less heating and lighting expense, Mrs. Sterling said that the increase in towels and water used would justify the higher summer rates.
The entire ten weeks of the summer session will be regarded as two months, however, so that the students engaging rooms for the first six weeks only will have to pay for but one month's rent, as will also be the case of those attending only the four weeks' term.
Mater. Sterling stated that as there was a great deal less responsibility for the landlady during the summer months, they felt that they were able to give more for the money. Her reason for this was that the summer mission students are more serious about their students and are here to work, and that there are no University regulations and date rules to enforce.
The price will probably range from $16 a month for one person to $27 to $25 for double rooms.

The functions of the University described by Chancellor Lindley as three fold: First, to discover truth; second, to disseminate knowledge, to develop society; third, to provide intensive training for all classes of students.
"The supreme aim of these activities is to convert knowledge into life" he said. "The modern University therefore has an obligation not only to train scholars for the teaching of academic and technical subjects but chiefly to shape its course of study to prepare men for the great vocations. The University of Kansas recognizes that commerce has become a learned profession. It should provide adequate training in business for the youth of Kansas.
"There are abundant evidences that Kansas is on the threshold of rapid industrial development. The University already has rendered important services to industry, chiefly through the School of Engineering and the department of geology. This service to industries must be extended through research and surveys, as well as in the training of men in the various phases of industrial engineering and of administration.
"Likewise the University should recognize that home-making is to be the profession of an overwhelming proportion of college women. The women for home-making should be one of the chief concerns of the institution.
"In the domain of medicine and in
public health, and in the field of child welfare, the tasks are unlimited and most inviting and urgent.
"The system of government by public opinion calls for the liberal training of those who are responsible for the press of the state. The field of government, the investigation of municipal problems, and the giving of advice to those in authority in city government constitutes an ever widening field of activity. The training of men for public service in the law as well as in government is a contribution to the progress of democratic institutions which the modern Univer-
