New 0rientation
Plan for Students
All Non-Residents Must
Live on Compus During
Five-Doy Program

To meet the needs of a growing
student body at American Universi-
ty, President Paul F. Douglass has
announced the development of
new orientation program which will
emphasize not only the Importance
OF self education" but which will
recognize the fact that the days of
orientation before the formal open
ing of college classes are the most
important in the life of the student.
To insure the proper administra-
ton and operation of this new pro-
gram, the trustees of the university
have enacted a regulation which re-
quires all nonresident students to
live on the campus from Friday,
September 18, through September
%, the dates Of the orientation
period.
Self Education Featured.
The emphasis of Education"
will be new feature in the orienta-
ton program. 'The problem OF the
college," says President Douglass,
lis to make thes student more ef-
ficient."
Granting a maximum Of freedom
from class attendance, the college
seeks to motivate the students in the
use OF libraries and the first-hand
resources Of Washington. The en-
tire program Of orientation being
developed is to cultivate habits Of
intellectual curiosity, intellectual in
itiative and spiritual adventure.
Basic in the program of self
education" is the system of external
examine tions known as the Car
negie graduate record examination
given at the end of the sophomore
and senior years. Without reference
to courses taken, this examination
gives the intellectual profile of the
student in the major division of
study. 1t also gives picture of the
permanent and available mental
equipment of each student as mile
stones along the college career.
These profiles are used In guidance
work and at the same time COPY
Of the chart is given to each
student twice during the college
course.

Innsbruck he Father Toohey.
studied philosophy at Woodstock
Md College from 1899 to 1902, and
then taught as a Jesuit scholastic
for four years at Loyola College,
Baltimore.
After his ordination Father Too
hey remained at Innsbruck for an
other year and then returned to
this country, where he taught at

since. He is the senior in point of
service among members of the
college fraternity
Famed as Debate Coach.
The success of Father Toohey as
moderator and debate coach Of the
Philodemic Society has become al
most legendary at Georgetown. 1t
is doubtful ii any college society has
approached the record Of the Philo-
demic teams he has turned out in the
last quarter century. The Philo-
demic Society is the oldest college
debating club In the United States.
It has lost only nine debates in its
history and was undefeated in inter-
collegiate circles from 1921 to 1898.
Father Toohey is one Of the few
members of the present college fac
ulty who recall Georgetown in the
decade before the First World War.
Next in point of service, probably,
are the Very Rev. Arthur A. OLeary,
S. j.. who first joined the faculty in
1916 and the Rev. Edmund A. Walsh,
S. j.. whose service dates back be-
fore the war.
Few Jesuits are better known in
educational circles than Father Too
hey, who has devoted nearly all his
years Of teaching to the field Of
philosophy. He is past president
of the Catholic Philosophic Society
and for the past 30 years has served
as chaplain of the Georgetown Visi-
tation Convent.
Georgetown will bid farewell to

the rifle team for many years and a
mainstay of the ROTC: His home
