TwO-FOld Function
Critical and Creative

Especial to The Kennebec Journal)
South Hadley. Mass, June 10
President Kenneth C. NJ. Stills Of
Bowdoin College. delivering the Com
mencement address today at Mount
Holyoke College, took as his subject
1.-THE Two-fold Function of the Col
lege: Critical and Creative"
THE critical function" said Presi-
dent Stills, concerns our Judgment of
ourselves and of the world. We cer-
tainly need to do more to develop
student initiative-I mean intellec-.
tual initiative. There is doubtless
enough of the other kind. Education
very largely required and controlled
for the first two years and self edu-
cation under direction for the last
two years is an excellent combination
toward which to strive. 1t is stated
and with some truth that the college
of liberal arts fails to give to it's
student definite and consistent pur-
pose. If we could really get into the
consciousness of all the members Of
the college s:lat it trains and tenn
pers the mind SO that it becomes ca
pable of sound criticism, we should
be on the right track.
'Tf every college man and every
college woman would realize. che
said in closing, that the person who
paints a picture. or makes poem.
or composes a song, or writes an es-l
say, or who in Virgils words does
any other thing to make life more
fair, is helping the college more COM
pletely to fulfill her mission, there
would be more opportunity for orig
inality and creative effort in oHr
American life. There is need Of it
today when there Is so little y real
creative work of high character
being produced anywhere in the
United States.

himself from serious consideration

party leaders arc making deter
