A STUDENT UNIVERSITY FOR THE
OVERWHELMING MINORITY"

In the old tobacco barn at the farm
of George Pratt, Jr, in Bridgewater,
Conn, a Student University will ex-
plore the possibilities of informal edu-
cation this summer. The barn natural
ly has been remodelled for the pur-
pose. Repudiating the popular ideal of
mass education which has brought
about factory standardization in our
colleges and encouraged textbook
teaching, the Student University will
serve only the overwhelming minor
ity" of students who think, and who
enjoy the frontiers of knowledge more
than the worn paths of the text and
lecture hall. Full information may be
had from the National Student Forum.

The realization of the above slogans
is necessary in order to better the

ployed in the industries in the United

1t is the duty of the American work

these slogans and fight for them. For
this is the only way this problem can

es of all active party members to
udy these documents most attent-
ely and to draw from them the
scsesary conclusions for the correct

he most that can be done is to give
outline and to indicate the
ain points. Such an outline would
Of some value if it would stimulate
rrty comrades to an earnest study of
he resolutions and discussions en-
re. Such is the purpose of this ar
Gle.
The main points dealt with in the
ocument of the plenum are as fol-
VS.:
The plenum confirmed the Judge
ment pronounced a year ago in
gard to the partial and relative
utilization of capitalism in Europe,
hich brought with it a retardation
the development of the proletarian
evolution. The Comintern estimate
. the so-called sterilization of course
as nothing in common with that of
he social democrats, who imagine
lat capitalism has been reconstructed
n another hundred years. On the
lntrary, the Comintern maintains its
-emise that the capitalist system has
5t recovered from the effects of the
Torld War and the sharpening of it's
lner contradictions and will not re-
over. International proletarian revo-
!tion remains the perspective of the
omintern.
The tactics Of the Comintern,
based upon the estimate of the
economic and political situation, have
teir center Of gravity in the fight for
inning other social democratic and
,n-party workers to the side of Com
unism thru the tactics of the united
ont. All attempts Of certain left
ements to reject or stultify the unit
front tactics have been completely
pudiated. It was clearly established
at the united front tactic is the in
sputable weapon of the Communist
s::'sies in carrying out their historic
SIX of modifying the masses for the
ruggle against capitalism, and of
aiding them by degrees to the plat
I'm of Communism.
The main slogans of the pIenum
were; ITO the masses!" GO
seper into the unions" Establish
,nnections with workers every
here. in all fields Of activity and
ruggle!" identity the Communist
arty with all the life and activity of
ie working class!" Guard against
olation as well as against lack of
rinciplel"
The necessity Of establishing con-
nections and influence amongst
te working masses, especially in this
sriod of retarded revolutionary de-
slopment, puts before the Commu-
ist Parties as a life and death ques-
on the necessity to struggle against
I'D completely annihilate the ultra
