College. John E. Sawyer, be.
lieves that too many high

how to answer test questions
rather than how to study and

large Ford Foundation grant,
Williams College. this fall, will
introduce a program that will
consider the average student. /"
Ten per cent Of the students
to be admitted will be from
among those who normally, be-
cause Of grades and academic
record, would not have a chance
Of entering williams.
Another college president, DR..
Calvin Plimpton of Amherst,
wants a good mixture Of city
boys and country boys, rich
boys and poor boys, bright boys

boys, Americans and foreign
ers, boys Of all races. of all

Many colleges and univer-
stiles are re-evaluating their
admissions policies.
Lack Of money. and Of infor-
nation as to where 10 turn to

thousands Of students from
entering.
Each year more than 100000
qualified high school graduates
do not go to college. They can't
affc-d it. Another 100000 do
not go because they don't
want to 60. Regardless Of rea-
son, If q competent student
does not go to college, the
country suffers q severe loss.
America now faces a Cold

America has woefully neglected
its brainpower. Our colleges are

DR.. w. Clarke Wescoe, chan.
cellor of the University of Kan
sas, made this observation
I'm times when this Nation
needs not fewer men and wom-
en- bat more, a selection
process should promise more
accuracy than any now avail

parents are not fond Of read
ing, against the child from q
large family, against the child
from a small high school,
against the farmers child and
the laborer's child, and the
child born to an underprivi-
legged minority"
No Tests Are Sure
Moreover, DR.. Wescoe pointed
out, educational measuring
sticks simply are not good
enough to predict whether any
individual will fail or succeed
in college. Sometimes even the
measuring sticks contradict
each other. DR.. Wescoe noted
that students who ranked In
the top 10 per cent Of their
high school classes have scored
In the bottom 10 per cent Of
placement tests. Top-ranking
students have flunked out, just
as students ranking near the
bottom in high school or in
examinations have earned de-
grees and won honors.

So much has been written
about Henry David Thoreau's
walden" that we sometimes
overlook another great rare
book by the New England
nature writer and philoso-
pher-the journal he pub
lished in 1849 of a weeks
sail in inland waterways.
The title page reads, in
part, as follows:
A WEEK ON THE CON-
CORD AND MERRIMACK
RIVERS. BY HENRY D.
THOREAU. BOSTON AND
CAMBRIDGE: JAMES
NR0E AND COM
PANY. 1849.
One thousand copies Of
this first edition were pub
hshed, but when the book
did not sell, half Of them
were returned to Thoreau,
who stored them in his attic.
These copies were reissued
with a new title page in 1862,
long. after walden" (I85A
became famous.
Fine copies Of the 1849
edition are worth $3.50 and
upward today. All copies lack
three lines of text at the bot
tom Of page 396. and in
some OF them Thoreau wrote
the lines in, in pencil. If you
find one of these it may be
worth up to $500 or more at
retail.
