on the subject Relation of the Small
College to the University" He dis.
cussed the college problem and the diff.
ference between the functions of large
and small institutions The former pre-.
supposes that character has been formed
and develops skill; the latter builds
character. Mr.. Scott thinks there is only
one solution for the college problem
If the small college would escape de-
struction it must increase its elective
system, O. il must spend money for
more and better men and women for its

buildings will come in their time
Mr.. Robinson's speech was along the
same lines He said two perils threaten
the small college, one from within the
ether from without, the former, special
ization, the latter limitation. Special
izstion means an over amount of cleo
tive work, such that il would encroach
upon the field Of the university hmita
ton means an under amount OF elective
work.
