ASK HIGH STANDARD
Universities Would Have
More Thorough Training.
COLLEGE WORK IS REQUIRED
High school Students Cannot Enter
Professional or Technical Depart
ties, According tO the New Rule.
Graded I'D tO European Standard.

Ithaca. n. Y, Jan. 2i-An important
movement toward standardlzing american
universities, and which promises to mark
an epoch in the high education in Ameri-
ca. is now in the hands of a subcom-
mittee. appointed by the Association NJ
American Universities. Of which Presi-
dent Jacob Gould Schurman, of Cornell
University. is chairman.
AT the last meeting Of the association.
held IN Ann Arbor Mich. on January
=, this committee submitted a prelim-
mary report, and was instructed to work
out a plan for the standardizing, rating
and codfcation of a system of rating Of
all of the universities and colleges Of the
country
According TO the subcommittee report
there are two criteria by which the rank
of universities is to be hereafter deter
mined.
In the first place. any institution de-
serving of the rank Of university must
maintain a strong graduate department
Require College work.
In the second place, the requirement
of one or more years OF college work as
"a prerequisite for admission to profes-
sioual courses is insisted on. This is
LOT the utmost importance. because al
ready a movement is on foot at Cornell
ana several other colleges, complying
with these provisions, and 1t is predicted
that this action will make the time not
far distant when it will be impossible
for a high school student TO enter the
professional or technical departments Of
any first-Class university. without having
passed from one to three years in regular
college work.
The report, after showing the necessity
for requiring strong graduate school,
goes on TO say.
Your committee is OF the opinion that
the best American universities viii, in
the future, rest their professional courses
on a basis of college work. which shall
range from one 10 four years, and the
professional student Will spend at least
five or six years i'm study from the day
he matriculates until the day he receives
his professional degree. For the present,
FIVE years work is required.
THE committee believes fl is the duty
of the association 10 admit outstanding
satisfy this criteria. Il is the duty Of The
association either to standardize Ameri-
can universities and thus Justify the con-
hdence which foreign governments re-
pose in them or 10 notify those govern
ments that there are American univer-
stiles outside this association whose work
and standing are not inferior 70 the mem
bers Of the association"
DR. schurman's committee has power
to make list Of the colleges Of the coun-
try whose degrees the association may
declare Of equal value with the college
degrees conferred by the universities now
embraced in its membership. The best
OF these colleges find to-day that their
degrees are not recognized by foreign
governments, even 90 the extent Of per-
mitting. them 20 maTiculate, on the
ground that they are not members Of the
association.
