College Attendance
Due to Growth Public
Schools, SAYS Roberts

arthur j. Roberts. president of Col
by College. speaking at the 42nd annual
, dinner of the Boston Colby Alumni AS
ISOLATION held in Boston Friday night
at the Boston City Club. laid the great
increase i'm college attendance to the
phenomenal growth of the free public
school the country over. His solution
for solving the problem of meeting the
grand rush of students for college
training was simply to limit high
school attendance.
In referring to the recent $50, 600
fund which the college has raised he
said the school must now start out for
another fund, scholarship fund for
Sl2'.000. According to him. students
at Colby were more and moro becom-
ing altruistic, a type which is more
than ever looking out for the common
good.
c. Harry Edwards. director of phys
ical education at Colby. depiored the
exploitation of college athletics by the
press. He referred to how the papers
picked the teams which are to play the
games scheduled and how articles are
written telling how to play this or
that game. and declared that it is too
bad to have the papers tell the coll
leges what to do in athletics.
After calling, to mind that the Colby
eleven won the football championship
of Maine last fall. he said the college
had the most successful year Yet in
athletics and had cleared around $1,000
in gate receipts He said plans arc be-
ing considered for the erection Of a
S20O.000 gymnasium in order that the
college can successfully compete with
other colleges in athletics. He said that
the college has the best hockey rink
row in New England and this in the
sprinV is to be turned into tennis
courts. Plans. too. are under way for
the levcling of the field back of He'd
man hall for outdoor activities.
