Problems of higher education in gen.
ersl and their particular application
to the future of George Washington
University were discussed by DR.. Cloyd
Heck Marvin, its president. at the first
meeting of the year Of the universltys
faculties last night in Corcoran Hall.
Followed by an informal reception
the meeting was marked also by the
announcement of the schools new fac
ulty appointments for the coming year.
In defining the university's place In
the educational scheme DR.. Marvin
pointed out that while there are APP
proximately so institutions of higher
learning within radius of 100 miles
of the university, there can be no such
thing as competition between them, for
though they are offering the same types
of work. even as the personalities OF the
men that go to make up their person.
mel differ. so will the types OF instruc-
ton differ"
Discusses Honor system.
In discussing the honor system in
universities end COLLEGES Dr. Marvin
stated that the idea is at the present
time in state of f1uX. having been
tried and found wanting in number
of institutions.
MY own belief" he said. lis that
student has a right to expect the pro-
fessor to be present during eXamina-
tons. If examinations are part OF the
educational scheme they must be
definite part of the scheme OF lnstruc-
ton. The student may want to raise
legitimate question or may want the
counsel of the professor. Here again l
feel that it is best to work out scheme
that is based upon true cooperation
between the instructor and those IN
structed. It seems to me that II class
has been given the right type OF in
struction and has been carefully check
ed throughout its progress to given
goal there will be very little need to
worry about dishonorable acts"
In regard to athletics, President Mar
vim emphasized that all university
teams must be composed Of students
whose scholarship is unqucstioned ana
who have had at least one year OF resi-
dence in the university.
Upon the question Of the liberal arts
college, which recently has come in for
mich discussion and criticism Dr.
Marvin said: II cannot help but be OPP
timistic about the service that is rem
dered. for our people are keen enough
to know whether they are receiving that
which will make them more worth while
as they enter society"
DR.. Marvin expressed satisfaction In
the work being done by the professional
schools of the university. mentioning
particularly the fact that the American
Medical Association in rating medical
schools for the past 10 years on the
basis of the average percentage OF
failures of graduates before the State
boards. places the George Washington
University second with is per cent.
