Bund's Past Follows Hitler.
According to the Justice Depart
ment, the history of the bund dates
back to the organization of a Ger
man patriotic society, "Teutonia, p"
in Detroit in 1924. Its founder was
Fritz Gissibl, a German alien who
was with Hitler in the Munich beer
hall putsch. The founding of this
organization conceded with the
emergence of Hitler on the political
stage in Germany.
In following years, other militant
Germanic groups were formed in
the United States. In 1888 many
of these were brought together in
an organization known as The
Friends of New Germany" Reasons
of expediency dictated change of
name, and at a convention in Buff
falo, on March 20, 1896, the Ger
man American Bund was formally
organized. patterned ON the Nazi
party organization in Germany.
The last convention held by the
bund was that in Chicago in August,
1941. Soon after Pearl Harbor, its
officers announced it's voluntary"

Trend to Younger Students.
In achieving overdue reforms, under
the impetus of current pressures, there
will be a stimulating challenge to edu-
cational initiatives. But optimism on this
score does not conceal the severity of
the operation which will cut year out
Of the college course.
The trend is toward younger and less
developed students, who cannot be ma
tured overnight. And If the school prep
aration of college students Is allowed to
deteriorate, then the maintenance Of high
standards will prove beyond the power
of even the best-equipped and most self
sacrificing Of college faculties.
The maintenance of standards under
accelerated programs was much to the
fore at the National Conference of Col
lege and University Presidents, convened
under governmental auspices in Balti-
more early this month. Never before, at
one time and place In this country, has
such galaxy of educational administra-
tive talent been assembled. For there

Colleges Fear Permanent Emergency
Maintaining Standards Briefer Long Problem

The six weeks which have elapsed since
the attack on Pearl Harbor have been
the start of a veritable revolution in the
methods and techniques of higher edu-
cation in the United States. Plans
already formulated in hundreds of uni
versities and colleges mean, in substance,
that the traditional easy-going tempo
of campus life will soon be gathered to
the vanished age from which it sprang.
Decision to initiate conscription at the
age of 20 has precipitated the accelerated
programs which are daily being an
nounced from college offices. But every
educational administrator knows that
the new military requirements are only
part of the complicated picture which
confronts him. Aocumulating economic
pressures, particularly for privately
controlled institutions, are a source of
more fundamental anxiety than is the
draft
The hllwark of endowed education in
this country is neither the rich as bene-
factors nor the poor as beneficiaries. 1t
is those members of the middle class who,
by and large, pay and contribute fairly
evenly for value received. To this middle
class, which has long been so great q
factor in American civilization, the eco
nomic pressure of war will apply with
intense severity. BY March Is many
will have cogent reason to realize this.
And the recent budget message of the
President clearly indicates that the cur.
rent income tax is only beginning.
College Emergency Permanent.
There Is not the slightest reason to
anticipate that this financial strain, still
far from its maximum, will ease when
the fighting stops. And as the pressure
on the patrons Of private education in
creases. both the yield from endowment
and the gifts which supplement 1t will
assuredly continue to fall OF. So far.

The resolutions of this body on achiev-
ing acceleration without debasing stand
ards were as explicit as the language
permits. But behind this brave front
was apparent the uneasy feeling that the
printed resolutions may not always be
supported by continuous and constant
resolution.
The chief danger to educational stand
ards seems to lie in an intensified com.
petitive struggle which may be trans
formed into as much outright bidding for
potential students as academic dignity
will permit. Clearly, however, such tao.
tics would in the long run prove ruinous
for those indorsing them. For no college
can long offer an inferior educational
product without stamping itself with the
fatal stigma of being an inferior school.

ing the emergency as permanent, so lar
as the institutions under their charge
are concerned.
Fortunately the colleges. because they
have normally been in. full operation for
only about eight months of the calendar
year, have slack to take up. For a long
time criticism has been directed at the
system which keeps classrooms vacant
and laboratories idle from June to Sep
tember. And the reply that teachers and
students need the summer, Christmas
and spring vacations to rest, research
or do other remunerative work has not
been wholly convincing. In every other
line of human activity men manage to
progress without so much leisure for their
endeavors.
The argument however, is now largely
academic in every sense of the word.
Practically every college campus where
there are male students this summer will
be as active or nearly SO as it is at this
moment. Through the establishment of
a regular summer term, not to be con-
fused with the disconnected summer
schools which some institutions have
sponsored IN recent years, it will be pos
sible for most colleges to put Eleir
students through in three years.
Some Loss Inevitable.
Many Of the graduate schools are also
planning to curtail their period Of in
struction by year. The same Is true
in the elementary schools at the lower
end Of the educational ladder. Thus an
ambitious student will be able to pass
from the grade schools through his or her
advanced professional training with a
saving of as much as three years over
present practice. The earlier earning
power thus attained should 60 q long

Such a compression, like any other
change enforced by circumstance, is
naturally distasteful to those who must
shoulder the extra burdens and labori-
ously work out the complicated details
involved. The hope that the accelera-
ton may be temporary is indicated by
the current arrangements at most COL
leges to carry both three and four year
students. There is, however, more than
little reason to believe that the acceler-
ated course may come to be normal prac-
tice for woman students no less than
for men.
1t is idle to suppose that four bright
college years can be telescoped into three
somewhat less effulgent without risking
lowering of standards. Whatever the
validity of the criticisms recognized in
this article, there simply has not been
enough slack on the average college
campus to permit year being gained
without simultaneous loss in some direc-
ton.
Overdue Reforms Likely.
Fortunately, all the compression in
volved need not be applied to the cur
riculum. Organized athletics, as distinct
from the general physical training which
is more important because Of the emer-
gency. can be simplified and curtailed to
the distinct advantage of scholarship.
The same may be said of other extra
curricular activities, 50 long as 1t Is re-
membered that some of these possess
very definite educational values.
Moreover, pressures on the curriculum
itself may have desirable effect. There
will be distinct gain If examination

Allied aerial losses during the
