WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-An area
one and a half times as large as the
United States which has never been
seen by man will be explored by
Commander Richard E. Byrd when
he Gets out to fly over the South
Pole next fall, he told the National
Geographic Society at a meeting
here.
Byrd said the. primary object of
the expedition is scientific, as the
Antarctic continent has more effect
on weather conditions than any
other region in the world. 1t is, too,
the coolest part of the globe.
1--WE will study glaciers in land
that is still in the grip Of the ice
age" Byrd said. 1--WE hope to photo
graph geological sections Of the
rugged mountainous cliffs and we
shall search for geological remains
in an effort to throw some light on
past ages"
One Plane Over Pole
Fifty volunteers, ten of them
scientists, will accompany him on
the expedition, which will leave the
United States in September. The
ship will stop at the edge of the
great Ross ice barrier and there a
base will be established and the YES
sci sent back to South America for
the winter, as it would be crushed
in the great ice foes.
Three planes will be- carried, but
only the largest will be used on the
attempted flight across the pole.
This ship will have a Widespread OF

pounds at speed Of ninety miles

r S THE American University of the
near future to consist of two
year term devoted to liberal arts,
professional studies and special
lied research?
With thousands of eager students
clamoring for admission to institutions
of learning and with insufficient facil-
tiles TO accommodate them, higher
education in the United States had
arrived at the crossroads.
Either enrolment must be restrict
ed and the privilege of university ed
ucation denied many youths or part OF
the undergraduate work must be aban
doned by universities and mad
a part of the courses of high school
and Junior colleges.
Because the idea of refusing the op-
portunity of education to American
citizens is abhorrent and repugnant to
me nation democratic ideals, educa-
tors in searching for a solution of the
problem are turning to the plan OF
combining universities and colleges to
a two-year course. emphasizing in i;
prof ssional and scientific subjects.
According to recent study made
by Commissioner John j. Tigert, of
the Bureau OF Education of the De
nartment of the Interior. there has

Ieges have definitely lined up the first
two years as a continuation of the
k commenced by the students al
high schools. Some have designated
unior college work, while the
last two years are characterized as
actual higher education or senior col
egg wo k. Universities arranging
their courses in accordance with this
principle are the University of Chi
aeo ard the University of the City
of Toledo.
Stanford University of California
has gone even further and announced
final plans to eliminate the first and
second years of college work. Unable
to accommodate the rush of students
md to provide adequate and necessary
! instruction to them, President Ray L.
Wilbur of this institution has declared
that within a short time students
will be enrolled only for a two-year
course of higher education.
1.-THE work of the first two years
in Stanford" he says, can be accom-.
plished by any number of other insti-
tutions, including junior colleges, and
the pressure for enrollm' Mt in the
graduate courses will require us to
eliminate all lower division work.
Modern educational systems have
made the Bachelor of Arts d. gree no
longer terminal in the college career,
but rather a dividing point. We are

study beyond the Bachelor of Arts
degree, which formerly terminated
four years of college work.
I'VE are organizing our departments
into schools of letters, physical

school, graduate school of business
and others. We are studying the prob
lem of eliminating the lower two class

will take students only after compile

two years of college may be united
With secondary or high school educa-
ton, with reference to training in lib
eral arts, prior to entrance in the
technical and professional studies OF
the university. Thus it will be pos
sible to relieve the congestion now
prevailing in the higher educational
institutions. Another reason for the
proposal is the difference in the type
of instruction given to freshmen and
ophom~ es in c"lleges as compared
with juniors and seniors. In most
of the colleges there is a need of a

lations and rules applying to under

at h 10 ample is the standards
Of the National Council Of Medical

Association, which requires at least
two years of undergraduate work for
entrance in approved medical schools.
This requirement Is now all but uni.

Association Of American Law Schools
h"s also established similar stand

have begun to require pre- professional
courses in liberal arts. The same tend

Notwithstanding these changes.
Commissioner Tigert. in summarizing
his study, expressed the opinion that
there should be no apprehension with
regard to the future of liberal arts OF
four-year colleges. Because OF the
persistent desire among students for
.4oetai education, the four-year insti-
tuition will not disappear, but will at
stract even greater numbers Of stu
dents. 1t is his belief, however, that
elimination Of undergraduate work
and general standardization Of curri-
cula will result in the disappearance
or some poor colleges and that many
universities situated in urban com
munittes will be planned to include
only two-year course OF instruction.
