DIR. E. McClish, president of the Uni
versity of the Pacific, spoke yesterday
before the Methodist Ministers Asso-
citation, his subject being Our Educa-
tional Problems"
Dr. McClish said that the first prob
lem was that of the name University
and while he conceded that they sub
jected themselves to criticism for TAX
ing the name University when they
did college work. he did not deem it
essential to insist upon a change to
that of college" while the term in
general usage was not clearly differen-
tiated.
He said that out of the 4SO institu-
tions of higher learning mentioned in
the report of the Commissioner of
Education, 155 passed under the name
University" and the University of the
Pacific was among that number.
WOULD NOT DISCOURAGE.
The second problem was the reduc-
ton or the university 10 an academy or
junior college. 1t did not seem wise to
DR.. McClish to take a step that might
result in permanent degradation of the
status of the university, and in view
of the fact that such a step would dis
courage many of the friends and alum
nj of the institution.
DR.. McClish said that the third prob
lem was that of entering into such an
adjustment with the State University
under new regulations of the State
Board of Education as would secure
for the graduates of the University
of the Pacific certification to teach in
the high schools of the State. This
important step DR.. McClish thought
might be accomplished in the not re-
mote future.
The discussion that followed showed
a marked interest both in the small
college" and the University of the Pa
cific.
Preparations for the big convention
of the Christian church in August
next were in progress yesterday morn
ing and evening. The Rev. Walter NJ.
White, d. D., the Rev. P. c. Macfar-
lane, the Rev. Mr.. Boyer, the Rev.
Frank s. Ford and others took an en-
thusiastic part in the discussions.
