RESHAPING HIGHER EDUCATION
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Throughout the country, university faculties examining their currcua and going beyond this they reexamnng their entire approach to education It IS not merely the sudden stimulus from the and the consequent overturning of colleges which will be found at the bottom of this reappraisa of the uni verstys task. The studies leading to the familiar Harvard report general education begun several years ago.
 At Wooster College, of the rd-lookng small Ter institutions of Ohio, distinctive approach is being undertaken Plans for postwar education at Wooster call for fundamental in the first two years and great deal for independent work in the last two years It is intended that juniors and seniors shall devote than half of their time to field and largely to independent studies within that major field.
 In other words, students are not to take mere
 courses, but rather to pursue subject of primary interest They will have guidance and help from their faculty members, but the work will be their own. On graduation the student should be able to tackle prob lem dig into it, master the available material and pre- pare orderly, vigorous analysis, written in under standable English.
 This is long step forward from the concept of uni versity department store of learning, where the student could pass through lightly, picking bit of n formation off the shelf here and there and winding up after four years with ludcrous combination of lated fragments of knowledge Too often the effective system has led the unwary student into frterng away his time in too many fiends without mastering any. The basic idea of the Wooster plan has much to commend it.

Cont, HitIer's Mad Doctor
Tells of Lying in Suicide Note
By the Associated Press.


NUREMBERG, JAN IA. r. DR..
Leonardo Cont, Hitler's mad doc
tor" whose suicide three months ago
in the Nuremberg Palace of Justice
Jail was kept secret by American
Army authorities, wrote a farewell
note to his family that he was TAX
ing his life because he had lied
under American interrogation.
The hysterical suicide message,
scrawled by the Nazi health leader
who decreed the killing of hundreds
of thousands of persons in his lust
for race purity" apparently was
never delivered. His suicide was
disclosed yesterday.
Asked whether any notification
was sent Mrs. Cont after her hus-
bands body was buried secretly last
October, Col. B. C. Andrus, COM
mander of the internal security
detachment guarding the jail, said:

ner of Conti's death. DR.. Kempner
intended to announce in court when
the Frick case was reached, prob
ably today, that Cont was dead.
This would have been the first public
hint from any official source of the
Nazi scientists fate.
An American soldier serving in
the Jail last October said Cont. in
fit of dependency, climbed on a
chair, tied shirt sleeve around his
neck, fastened the shirt to one of
six metal spikes stuck in the wall
around the window of his solitary
cell and then slumped off the chair.
Autopsy Performed.
October S Contis name appeared
for the last time on the roster of
the "internee wing" of the Jail sub
mitted to higher Army officers by
Col. Andrus. October the body
was delivered to laboratory of the
American 1l6th General Hospital.
