JUNIOR COLLEGES
 ARE RECOMMENDED
Suggested as One Way to Re
 heYe Strain on Big Schools

Philadelphia, Nov. 2S tF1The es- tablishment of junior colleges to re- lieve the strain caused by the ina bility each pear of thousands o. ap- plicants to gain admission to Ameri- can colleges is recommended by Dr. Livington Farrand, president of Cor nell University.
 Dr. Farrand. here attending meeting of Cornell alumni, said the question of how to accommodate the unsuccessful applicants and give them the higher education they de- sired was one of the greatest prob lems facing the educators of the country.
 Junior colleges, he said, to take the place of the freshmen and sophomore years at college "could not help but relieve the strain some what" Institutions of this sort, he added which would be an internhedi ate step between the preparatory school and the advanced college years had been tried in the west and were found to have been successful.
 Dr. Farrand also said that con- siderable study was being given to the question of how best to train the the student after he was admitted to the college in order to avoid turning out mass products. placing far too little emphasis on the train ing of the exceptional mind"
 "The young men and women leav- ing the colleges today as graduates" asserted Dr. Farrand "go from in- stitutions which have maintained as their basis of judgment and conduct the average and not the exceptional. Only recently have We begun to recognize this"
 In the opinion of Dr. Farrand the various problems will have to be worked out locally. Colleges differ greatly" he said. And that is very fine. Who would want standardiz- ed colleges?"

Chicago, Nov. 26 @-Law not on- ly keeps this little world in order, but the univers, as well.
 The atom, which man cannot see or fully understand. and the star in the immense spaces of the heavens, possess the same orderliness and sys- tenn. says Prof. Philip Fox, head of Dearborn observatory of Northwest ern university.
 Studies of the terrestial globe, the sun. moon, and neighboring planets, the far-f1ung stars and ne- bulae reveal response to law," the astronomer said.
 "The chemical elements which are the constituents of the most famil- jar things of our daily life are com- mon to the entire universe, whether the body is the densest star or the most attenuated nebula.
 "In the clements are found order ly systems of simple structure and of the utmost complexity. In their combinations the structure becomes even more intricate. Similarly, in the cosmos the bodies are not strewn at random but are assembled in systems. The double and multiple stars, the planetary and satellite systems are the simpler forms: the star clusters, the galaxy, and the spiral nebulae are the most exten- siye.
  Through all the universe extends the law of gravitation. and not this law alone but the other laws of the physical world as we know them in our terrestrial laboratories and ex- perience, the laws of mechanics, as we'll as those of evolution and prob- ability.
