Butler Dean Asserts Some Students Try to Do Too Much

Are too many students working
their way through college?
Dean James w. putnam, vice pres
ident of Butler University does not
think so, but does believe that too
many are overlooking themselves
with work.
Patrick Monkhouse, a member Of
the Cambridge University debating
team Of England, which now is meet
ing American college debaters in a
ast-to-coast tour, was author Of
the statement in a recent magazine
article that too many students are
working their way through college.
But Dean Butler does not exactly
agree with him.
1T is not the too many are work
ing their way through college," the
dean said. THE trouble is too many
are overtaxing their physical and
mental capacities in trying to do too
much"
"a student who works at a Job
that will pay him enough to live on
and his tuition in college has to work
long hours and expend considerable
energy. Consequently, II he is TAX
ing a full college course his studies
suffer. He falls behind. probably
flunks out In one or two subjects,
and makes poor grades in the rest"
IT don't mean to say" the dean
went on, that a student cannot
make his way and make good grades
also. There are a few exceptions
but very few"
"If the average young man who
has to work his way through college
would only take part of the college
schedule of subjects and do them
well. 1t would be better for him.
True, 1t would take him longer to
get his degree. probably five years,
but would have a good record.
