MASON ON EDUCATION
Student Wave to Hit
Colleges Next Fall

States which operate local
community junior colleges
had appropriated an addi-
tional $81 million to these
schools in 1923. an in
crease of about AZ per cent
over the total appropriated
in the earlier two-year period.
Increases in Federal grants,
student loans and available
scholarships will help absorb
some of the financial burden.
Colleges face other prob
lens brought on by the sud-
den increase in enrolment.
After World War II the prob
lem was in housing married
students for the first time.
The present demand will be
for additional dormitory
space. The very fact that
these students are younger
calls for careful supervision.
Smarter Students
Admissions officers will do
a more careful job of selec-
ton. Freshman classes will be
smarter.
To meet the challenge Of
teaching a more highly quail
fled student body the profess
sors must revise their grad
ing practices. Grading on the
old curve will certainly be
unacceptable when students
have been so screened that
all are capable Of passing the
courses.
The drive for intellectual
excellence is already creating
intense emotional stress
among both students and
faculty.
The major challenge to the
college faculties is not how
to crowd the students into
the classrooms, but rather
how to create a situation
conducive to increased men,
tai health and happiness
along with excellence in
scholarship.
