Blanshard Explains new Method
Preceding the open forum, Mr.
Blanshard, who, as field secretary
for the Delegation of Industrial Democracy has visited many college through the country, outlined some of the newer methods of teaching, growing out of the attempt to break away from the mass production type of education now charac-
Mr. Blanchard explained the system which has been in use for five years at Swarthmore college where at the end of the sophomore year 30 selected students, are made free to use the opportunities of education as they are fit, attending lectures at Swarthmore and reporting once a week to an instructing a conference, and taking a final examination at the end of the last two years over the work they had selected to study. This system, Mr. Blanchard said, was developing a tradition on the Swarthmore campus that the leaders of the school were not those of the most outstanding social achievement, but those who were thinking most vitally on the problem.

The point was made by Floyd Simpson that not only was the aim of the course but also of personality but a training for service as a social being. Edgar Clark described the purpose of a university education as training men to think

Throughout the discussion it was apparent that the students realized that their own attitudes toward their work was an important factor in the final product of education as well as the methods of the class room.

Merrill Loses on Decision
The bout between the rival captains, John Montgomery and C. F. Heelzell, was easily the best exhibition of booking for the evening. Each had a great deal of respect for the other, while Montgomery, well-married battle, Montgomery received the referees' decision on his ability to handle a larger number of clearer blows, and on his ring generalship. The dayhawker captain's victory was especially noteworthy in that he went out of his way to save the weight above wetted, taking on 'about ten pounds' handicap.

Z. Pearson of the K. E. A. C. and Kenneth Spencer fought a short but thrilling struggle. The Agnes scored a knockout in the first round. He had a considerable weight and reach that made him a formidable opponent with considerable confidence, having son by the same route over Spencer in the matches last week.
