Thought Needed In Education
American education has been attacked from many angles.
William C. DeVane, Dean of Yale College, and Hartley Simpson, Dean of the Graduate School of Yale University, in the following two articles written for *The Guardian* attack the administrator's views.
--over Kennedy's choice of a Secretary of State. Acheson, a controversial member of the cabinet in the Truman administration, has been mentioned as a possible U.S. representative to the United Nations or NATO.
"Although more money for higher education is urgently needed, it will take even more thinking than money to solve this country's educational problems in our colleges and universities.
By William C. DeVane
SOME UNIVERSITIES have lost their balance in their headlong devotion to research alone, and some collegiate institutions have had to lower their sights in respect to their faculties because of financial problems and pressures of growing enrollment.
I would put faculty needs at the top of any list of problems. There is no substitute for a first-rate faculty and many of our colleges must relearn this fact. It is much easier to get money for bricks and mortar than it is to get money for a top-notch faculty.
The problem of curriculum needs a clearheaded, intelligent appraisal. The liberal arts are the core of higher education.
Among the 16 to 20 courses a college student takes in his four years, I would insist on courses in English, mathematics, philosophy, history, science, foreign language, and social sciences.
A course in English should be required for all, a course developing competence in expression and not merely the typical "Freshman composition course" so prevalent in many colleges.
I have to live for others and not for myself; that's middle class morality.—George Bernard Shaw

Old Spice
AFTER SHAVE
LOTION
Skin protection, that is. Old Spice refreshes and stimulates, guards against the loss of vital skin moisture. Feels great, too. Brisk, bracing, with that tangy Old Spice scent. It does seem to attract female admirers, but what red-blooded man needs protection against girls? 1.00 plus tax
