'Small, Little-Known Schools Lead,' Says US Educator
Carlisle, Pa.—(UP)—Big colleges and universities have their disadvantages, in the opinion of Dr. William W. Edel.
They can offer many benefits outside the classroom, but for sound education, he believes the small, little-known schools lead.
Dr. Edel, a former Navy chaplain, is president of Dickinson college typical of the smaller institutions of higher learning. He was graduated

"I have a firm conviction." Dr. Edel said, "that the undergraduate student is better off in practically every way in a good small college than in an equally good large college or university."
In some cases, he said, the student "by temperament or training" is more suited for attendance at a larger institution, but he is convinced the majority would get more for their time and money in the little colleges.
For Limit on Classes
Dr. Edel feels a limit should be set for the number of students in a class. "In this I am supported by an impressive body of educational theory and practical findings," he said.
Indicating that he thought such a maximum at a large school would be far above that in a small school he said Dickinson tried to keep its classes at least to "manageable proportions."
"It is almost impossible," he said, "that the professor with several orded students in his class will ever get to know more than a few students except by taking some unusual means to do so." He contended that means would be the exception and not the rule. Times Not Normal
When classes are so large that recitations are an impossibility, Dr. Edel continued, the professor is left with no solution to an examination to determine grades.
He qualified his statements, however, by pointing out that these were educationally abnormal times and that neither small nor large schools were operating at their usual level of efficiency.
"The situation in higher education today is such," he said, "that all available facilities for higher education must be used to accommodate the enormous pressure of actual and potential students."
By Any Other Name It's The Bowery Yet
New York—(UP)—The Bowy Improvement committee of the East side chamber of commerce has started a survey of merchants in that historic section, looking toward changing the name of the Bowy.
Sammy Fuchs, a member of the committee and owner of Sammy's Fairy Follies, one of the better known spots in the area, was among the dissenters.
"You can put a new suit on a bum, but he's still a bum," he said. "In the same way, you're not going to improve the Bowery just by changing its name."
Los Alamos Rates Air Mail
Los Alamos, N. M.-(UP)—Los Alamos, the isolated community at Uncle Sam's atomic bomb project, is now served directly by air mail. An Albququerque flying service makes two trips daily to Los Alamos, eliminating the old system of shipping air mail here from Santa Fe, 40 miles away, by truck.
Geology Professor Ends Lecture Tour
Dr. Raymond C. Moore, state geologist and geology professor has returned from a month's lecture tour which took him to 12 states and extended from Florida to California.
Dr. Moore is one of four or five geologists chosen by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Inc., for lecture tours.
"Most of my traveling was by plane," Dr. Moore said. "Aside from my lecture duties I had the opportunity to make field studies in various sections of the country, I met University alumni everywhere."
Dr. Moore's first lecture was at Ohio State University, November 10, and his last was before the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists in Denver, December 15.
Dr. Moore will give a lecture before the Kansas Geological Society in Wichita Tuesday.
Tea Will Honor Dr. Donald Rhodes
The Physical Therapy club will honor Dr. Donald Rhodes, head of the department, with a tea Sunday afternoon from 2:30 to 5:30 in the English room of the Union.
