\ Any automobile-mak would have right
to, be proud of these advances alone. But,
remember, these Rambler features are just
three of 102 advances in our 81 models. Not
one of these changes was made just for the
sake of change. All were made because they
add important contributions to Rambler's
quality and to its usefulness to the user.
That has been our policy ever since
Rambler started the compact car revolution.
And the American public has responded to
it SO enthusiastically that, in 1862, we expect
TO produce and sell over half million

They would be proud for one Of
their first steps toward founding
the liberal arts college was to

early as 1774, almost two years
before the college opened.

There are 821 pupils enrolled in

Pearson explained that the in
crease in upper school enroll
ment came about as the result of
three sections of the seventh
grade last year, which gives the
academy a very large eighth
grade. Only two seventh grade
sections are necessary in the
lower school at Farmville this
fall, which accounts primarily
for the smaller number Of ele-

Downgroding Education

Members Of the College Physical
Education Association have shown
understandable concern over the ten
dency Of some colleges to over-empha-
size the Importance of intercollegiate
sports, such as football. When football
becomes big business on the campus,
the primary objective Of a university,
namely to educate, Is apt to be showed
more and more into the background.
Marshall S. Turner, jr., director of
athletics at Johns Hopkins University,
told the association at its meeting here
that smaller colleges are not particu-
larly concerned over efforts Of the big
colleges to recruit prospective football
players through scholarships or other
tempting devices. But it does become
everyone's concern" he declared, when
colleges say that football players are
attending college for educational pur-
poses, when actually they are there for
one thing-to play football"
We can see no objection to the
athletic scholarship system as long as
1t is properly co-ordinated with the
academic system. But to hire and sub
sidize players who do not comply with
educational requirements or who are
permitted merely to go through the
motions of complying is unworthy of
any institution of learning.
