Educators Divided
On Whether Colleges
Have Failed Youth
Views Of DR.. Burr
Disputed in Discussion
On Higher Education

The question of Have the Colleges
Failed Us?" and the questions of
whether colleges are doing the job
they should and exactly what that
job is, were attacked, discussed at
considerable length and left still
debatable issues last night by an
able panel of speakers at the Whit
tall Pavilion of the Library of
Congress.
The basis of the discussion came
from articles appearing in recent
issues of Harper's and the Atlantic
Monthly, both of which came
separately to approximately the
same concluSion-that American
youth are in a bad way, that they
lack ideals and principles.
In summing up the content of
the articles as background for the
discussion, DR.. Stringfellow Barr,
president of ST. Johns College in
Annapolis, said that the author of
one of the articles had come to the
conclusion that young Americans
don't believe in anything.
Hits College Methods.
'T agree with his main conten-
ton" DR.. Barr declared. In an
entertaining discussion punctuated
with satirical comment, he, went on
to declare that the reasons for such
a lack lay much in the educational
methods followed in most American
Much nf the faJllt he
said, lies in the fact that students
are not stimulated to think for
themselves--that they merely re-
ceive information from their in
structors and give it back to them in
the form of examination answers,
for which they receive a rating
grade.
DR.. Barr, who. with Scott Buch-
anan, dean at St. Johns College,
has been establishing what has
been described as a revolutionary
method of instruction at the Mary
land school, replaced the latter as
principle speaker on the program.
A spirited challenge came from
members of the panel who were DR..
George B. Woods of American
University, DR.. Henry Grattan
Doyle, dean of George Washington
University, DR.. Robert Slavin OF
Catholic University and DR.. Walter
J. O'Connor of Georgetown Uni
versity.
DR.. RAYMOND Wilburn of st. Johns
College acted as chairman of the
panel.
Sees Silent Idealism.
DR.. Woods declared that "just be-
cause youth doesn't talk about ideal
ism doesn't mean he doesn't feel it
He Just doesn't say anything about
it."
Referring to the st. Johns pro-
gram. in which the system OF elec-
tives has been abolished, DR.. Woods
said the Idea of electives has been
ver-stressed." He said that in most
American college it is not possible
for a student to choose easy courses
to get a degree; that under the
systems followed he is required to
take certain types of courses within
definite ranges which would insure
his eligibility for graduation.
The purpose of education DR.
Slavin defined as the process o1
forming man" from the plastic ma
terial represented in student. Toe
often, he said, colleges merely in
form, instead of form.
An optimistic viewpoint was ex-
pressed by DR.. DOYLE, who said he
