THE SALEMITE Saturday^ February II, 1928 ALUMNI UNIVERSITY An ahimni university for gradu ates of tlie University of Michigan is being considered as a means of directing the readinf? and study of former students. The plea for as sistance came from about 15,000 alumni, and the suggestion for a graduates’ university was President C. C. Little’s. The former students indicated that they still are inter ested in furthering their education, and wish cultural aid. One woman “I can go to a department store in Chicago and get counsel on my ward robe; I can write to my bank and get advice about investments; but I cannot obtain advice from any central place about my intellectual problems. Some of the alumni do enjoy exercising their brains, strange FOR PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION Bennington College, a new liberal arts institution for women, will be opened in the fall of 1929. Robert Devore Leigh, professor of government at Williams College, has been named president of the new school- vvhicli will stress “modern standards of progressive education.” It is situated in Bennington, Vt., and draws its funds from private endowment, although it eventually is expected to support itself by tuition. Mrs. Hall Park McCullough, president of the Board of Trustees, has described the establishment of Bennington College as based c desire to develop the girls’ special aptitudes rather than moulding them in an educational pattern. “In the selection of students,” she said, “marked ability, either special or general, will be of first importance. W’e will not be interested in the student who is able merely to meet standard minimum requirements. Special excellence in one field alone qualify a girl, but passing med- ty in all fields will not.” Panacea For Revolution ‘How’s collections at your church, Brudder Jackson?” “Well, we ain’t neber had to stop — de middle of a collection to go and empty the plate.” A Central, American university that will emphasize non-political education is being urged by several who I ■d that only by educational re form can political jealousies be re moved from the Latin-American scene. The movement was given new impetus by four American Quakers who recently attempted, un- suceessfulh-, to visit General San- dino, and reconcile him and the American marines. As reported in the Christian Science Monitor, “their contention is that Nicaragua will always be over run by revolutions, always intermit tently occupied by marines unless by educational reforms the people are weaned from political jealousies. “They report that w'hen the Con servatives come into power all Lib eral school teachers are discharged an^ the children are taught arith metic, spelling, and hatred of the Liberal Party and when the Liber als come into power the children are taught arithmetic, spelling and ha tred of the Conservative Party.” President Ray Lyman Wilbur, of Stanford University, is reported in terested in working out plans for such a Pan-American university, backed by the United States and Central American governments. He discussed its possibilities with dele gates at the Havana congress, which he attended as one of the American delegation.
