"Are you going to accept a career or are you going to accept a job?" Fort Zaekary, general agent for the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co., asked students at the insurance and finance career conference Tuesday night.
Students Hear Career Men Give Tips On Employment
"Pay, fringe benefits and working conditions are only half of the picture," he said. "The most important thing is the challenge of your job. Even if you make a false start, you have 30 or 40 years to make a career.
"It is not the pay but the inner growth of you which is actually important 5, 10 or 20 years from now. You should be able to plow back profits and knowledge into your job."
Howard H. Fiteh, president, Barrett, Fiteh, North & Co., said, "It is good that you are looking at different fields before you decide which to enter. I hope you look at many others. You may not make a career of the first job you try. The secret is to know when you have made a wrong choice."
Six To Evaluate Wichita School
Dean Kenneth E. Anderson of the School of Education will be general chairman of a 6-man team for the North Central Assn. of Colleges and Secondary Schools which will evaluate Wichita Southwest High School Dec. 13. The high school is applying for admission to the association.
Other members of the team from KU will be James K. Hitt, registrar; E. Gordon Collister, director of the Guidance Bureau; Oscar M. Haugh, professor of education; Alvin H. Schild, associate professor, and Fred S. Montgomery, assistant professor.
William W. Martin, vice president of Martin Tractor Co., and spokesman for industrial finance, emphasized that the employee's ability and stature in his job strongly influenced companies which were asked to lend money to the employee's firm.
Oscar M. Haugh, professor of education, was appointed national chairman of the committee on methods of working with the public of the National Council of Teachers of English at its 47th annual convention in Minneapolis, Minn. Nov. 27-30.
Named Chairman Of Teachers' Unit
This committee is to prepare a 48-page pamphlet to show school officials and English teachers associations how "to make better use of mass media communication to bring communities the objectives and accomplishments to be desired in a modern program of teaching language arts." Prof. Haugh said.
Greek, Botany Required In 1866
Students complain about the western civilization, biology and foreign language requirements but students in the early years of the University had no choices until their junior and senior years.
Prof. Haugh was also chosen by the commission on English curriculum to be a contributor to Vol. 5 of the NCTE curriculum series on preparing for teaching of the language arts.
The 1866 college catalogue included courses in the classics, mathematics and philosophy. The second semester of the junior year the student finally got a choice between Greek and botany.
The students at least had a choice of what set of courses of study to follow. In 1867 a scientific course was added, in 1870 civil engineering, and in 1874 chemistry and natural science were added. In the professional courses the first two years were still alike. All of them required mathematics through analytics, political economy and philosophy for completion, however, neither Latin nor Greek were required for the scientific courses.
In 1885 the analytics requirement was changed except for scientific courses to read 'analytical geometry or zoology and laboratory practice."
The elective system began in 1880 when juniors and seniors in the general scientific and modern language courses were permitted to choose two optional courses each semester from the rather limited groups of studies. Before they could take these courses though they had to petition the faculty in writing.
In 1895 juniors and seniors could take anything in any of the 20 departments of the college provided a student did not take more than 4 courses under one instructor.
By 1903 the only courses specifically required for graduate were rhetoric, hygiene and physical education. Freshmen and sophomores had some requirements to fulfill but most of them could be satisfied if the student had had the required study in high school.
