VII OSWsE Siusf
Cultural freedom must be pre-
served along with other freedoms
DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president
of George Washington University
said yesterday as he announced pro-
motions given to 26 members of the
faculty staff, following approval by
the board Of trustees.
Discussing the increased respon-
sibilities thrust upon those pro-
noted. DR.. Marvin took occasion to
emphasize the role of liberal arts
colleges in the war and postwar
eras. Changed conditions will call
for new concepts, he said, adding
he believed educational leaders
would meet the test.
MANY Of our men and women
have abandoned their cultural edu-
cation for the duration" he pointed
out" We, too, must fight-We must
enlist in a college and university
army corps for public welfare.
Fight to Preserve Culture.
"Our activities are as important
as those of our enlisted colleagues.
We fight for the preservation of
the liberal cultural elements in So
ciety. If we succeed, it will make
an enormous difference in the moral
and human qualities Of our society"
"In a democracy" DR.. Marvin
continued, education must not be
narrow. The very basis of the pro-
fessional and technical efficiency of
our people is found in the cultural
backgrounds of our schools. With
out cultural education, our technical
training is no better than that of
Germany The slide rule is an aid
in mathematical computation; it is
not an aid for helping men to be
free. Narrow training will almost
certainly destroy the ability of peo-
pie to be critical of social objectives
and governmental processes.
1--WE have never been successful in
establishing trade schools. AS
people we have insisted on following
the cultural tradition. This is
great heritage, one that will serve
us well as we enter into the
strengthening emocratic days
ahead"
Totalitarian states, DR.. Marvin
said, have used higher education to
gain the strength of unified ideals,
but in America the democratic way
of life is not trivial art, nor a
playful activity :. it is freedom of
the mind"
