IN low is the critical time in American edu-
cation says the boy president. "Ter-
ritorial expansion is over and we can discover
our weaknesses and our strength. Now is the
time for systematizing and co-ordnating the
efforts of the universities. Otherwise Wen just
go dribbling along.
"A university is a community of scholars
and you have failed in your object unless you
have the best scholars.
"In the last Is years the best minds in
America have been drawn into business. Hence
American universities face a new problem in
ompetition-competition with big business for
the best man. In the past we have been COM
peting with the preachers for the best man.
I am the son and grandson of preachers and
don't speak lightly of preachers But success
in competition with them will no longer solve
the problems which universities should be
solving.
"UniveUjties have fallen far behind their
problems because they are not orzanized for
these problems, but on the basis of discipline
and instruction
american universities have allowed under
graduate education to fall far behind ele-
mentary and professional education with
changes in medical education I am not very
keen on the rah-rah spirit, and I know there
must be a change"
The first step in that change is the uni
versitys new "creditless" and 'gradeless" sys-
tenn that has Jared other schools into de-
nunciation. To President Hutchins it Is not

sibe, the college should not attempt the joh
Its resources are for other purposes. If the
boy doesn't care to amount to anything the
college can't give him character or intellectual
interest or make him amount to anything It
may complete the task, but it is too late to
begin it.
The average college student has received
fixed prejudices and opinions at the parental
breakfast table and is unwilling to listen to
arguments and persuasion. Under those cir
cumstances the most that a teacher can do
is to galvanize and stimulate; he cannot hope
to persuade"
DRESIDENT HUTCHINS does not bother
about the problem of the coed" because,
hs says, "she's no problem" He does not get
agitated about the tendencies OF modern
youth" but holds youth is as good today as it
ever was" He concerns himself with more
basic problems and, despite the cloture of his
high office, he has not lost the ability to be
critically articulate and blame those he feels
should be blamed, fearless of the bareback.

Universities Fail
and Rah-Rah Spirit Is All
Wrong, Contends Chi
cago's ''Boy ,President,''
Robert M. Hutchins,
as He Proposes a Five
Year-Test Plan "ToMake
Students Think"

There should be key universities to set the
stride, but today the crowd las caught up
with the former pacemakers. It's time to con-
slider new demands. new pace will mean q
new era in American universities"
Mr.. Hutchins considers the University of
Chicago one of the "key' schools. 1t is, mas
much as it Is new and in the front rank of
the progressive section and yearly sends hun
dredS OF men to teach in other schools carrying
the Chicago idea" with them.
THE amounts which universities are spend
ing on projects and on their faculties are
shockingly diSproportonate. In the last ten
years the University OF Chicago has received
200, of which only 1000, 900 went to a
faculty Of approximately 300 men and women.
If you spray 500, ,o0O, 900 over all the worthy
colleges in the land, you might as well throw
the money into the lake as far as creation of
authoritative pacemakers is concerned.
Il have no desire to spend more money than
anybody else. What desire is to make edu-
cation respectable.
IF America expects college professors to
teach for janitors salaries, it cannot expect its
sons and daughters to be educated to fill posts
more exacting than janitor's job
President Hutchins has become the ''enfant
terrible" Of the academic world But where
other educational revoutionstS must confine
themselves to criticism of the ways of univer-
stiles and the preaching OF theory, he has been
turned loose in control of IA 500 students and
781 teachers in the midst of land buildings,
laboratories and endowmentS provided by the
generosity Of John D. Rockefeller and wealthy
Chicagoans and responsible to nobody but a
somewhat astonished. liberal and admiring
Board of Trustees.
CHICAGO gasped when it heard how young
a man had been selected as the new pres
dent of its progressive university but was some

he established the Yale Institute of Human Rela-
tions to focus social and biological sciences on
the study Of man and his relation to his fellow
men.
Some hallowed department heads muttered
to their contemporaries that it was a great

trap cut of clostered windows and
rising as the prophet Of new American uni
yersity system
He is Robert Maynard Hutchins who at
30 years of age, became the new president of
the University of Chicago the youngest presi-
dent ever to take charge Of major university
IN America and perhaps the most revolutionary
In the annals of modern learning.
Things as they are were do not suit
Hutchins One of his first major moves in
abolishing the ancient method of four years of
specified terms courses, credits and exami-
nations as the backbone Of university custom
In now in force and this year meets its first
test. In its place he has established grade
less" and "creditless' system for under
graduates whereby they can follow their own
dictates prepare themselves as they see fit
and perhaps indulge in a little thought while
SO doing. When they feel ready they take
their examinations, real, comprehensive ex-
aminations exactng some mental effort instead
Of parroting of the instructors lectures.
Thus antiquated machinery Of fixed and
formal education is scrapped, and, perhaps,
with it undergraduate life it was
genius may get through in two months,
brilliant student in year. One unit for a
university will shortly be placed out in the
world for other endeavor, while one Of promise
who enjoys the social side of college can loaf
along four years.
There is passing and elimination, but none
of the customary milestones to a degree.
Students deserving of time and money
can then go on to special courses, still with
out time limitations, where they can qualify
for degrees. The scheme is in operation.
Whether it works time will tell.
CYES of pedagogues throughout the world
L. are focused on Chicago's campus because
OF Mr. Hutchins' radical experiment, which, by
putting the burden on the individual, seeks to
answer the age-old question of whether college
Is worth while. Across the Nation educators
are either enthused by the plan or enthusi
astic in their condemnation.
"It is obvious" says Mr.. Hutchins. that
the crisis through which the Nation is passing
is the result of our own folly and incompetence.
"It is equally obvious that if the aim of
education is to train intelligence and to sub
stitute it for stupidity and prejudice we must
concede that education has signally failed so
far.
with that failure painfully apparent,
Americans and citizens Of every country may
with some justice inquire what education has
been doing all these years if it has been unable
to prevent present situation

ton in American universities is exactly where

it doesn't. we'n try something
else"
OUTLINING his ideas Of
~ teaching, as adopted at the
University of Chicago in the
new five-year plan, President
Hutchins says:
'I favor the development Of
a pass and honor system under
which a student, in fields in
which he is particularly in
terested, does his own work with
a minimum Of supervision and
a maximum of independence.
In fields which he wishes to
know about, but does not wish
to specialize in, he should at
tend large lecture courses under
the most stimulating lectures.
1.-THE whole system should be
so flexible that a student could
go as fast as his abilities per-
mitted and in the direction in
which his abilities led him"
Mr.. Hutchins talks readily
concerning education, his spe.
cialty, but will not hold forth
on politics, international affairs,
women's dress or similar subs
jeets which land so many col
lege presidents on page l Of
the newspapers. He speaks
rapidly and seriously and pro-
claims no false nodesty as he
tears into the established ma
tional university customs.
THAT system is a vicious cir
cle," he said. ct hold a uni
versity training should unsettle
the minds of young men, widen
their horizons and inf1ame their
intellects. 1t is not a hardening
or setting process. Education is

them or amuse them or make
