CountyGroups Given Advice By Chancellor
"What is a definition for Kansas University?" Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy posed this question Thursday to the County club chairmen of Statewide Activities in the Kansas room of the Union.
It is impossible to give a precise accurate definition of the University he explained. It is a distillate of many forces. Points of view, aspirations and student opinion are but a few of these, he added.
In attempting this, he advised, keep in mind that the three most important parts of the University are the students, future students and the alumni.
The present students, through their attitudes and actions, influence the teaching standards and staff of the University. Because of this they make the University an institution striving for educational perfection, he said.
Through the efforts of present and former students, the University has gained a character and stature in the field of education of which the people of the state might well be proud, he said.
The alumni, Dr. Murphy continued, aids us in this quest, through criticism and assistance where and when it is needed.
He impressed on the chairman that they will be the ones to define the University to future students now attending high schools throughout the state.
The future student's importance is that he shall follow in the steps of previous students in maintaining or achieving higher standards of educational achievements, he added.
Following Chancellor Murphy's address Neil McNeill, president of Statewide Activities, instructed the chairmen in their duties for the convocation to be held by the organization Wednesday, Nov. 14.
Showing of the new color-sound movie, "Beyond the Towers," concluded the meeting.
