By Ralph Miller
"It appears that the emphasis
in American higher education is
now not on teaching but on ad
ministrative machinery. The
purpose of any school should be
to teach," said Dr. E. W. Knight
of the department of education
in beginning his comment on ex
aminations yesterday.
"Administration has become
the tail that wags the dog. High
er educational institutions ap
pear to have copied the mechan
ics of big business and applied
it to education," he continued.
Dr. Knight said that the prob
lem of examinations has attract
ed wide attention during the
past two decades, and it has
greatly agitated educational peo
ple in this country and in Eu
rope. Carnegie Corporation
He pointed out that the Car
negie, corporation has been
spending a great deal of money
in studies and examinations of
examinations.
"The report of the Eastborne
conference on examinations and
a recent book edited bv Dean
Herbert E. Hawkes, of Colum
bia, reveal some of the inanities
and insanities of examinations,
as these have been traditionally
followed in this country and in
Europe," Dr. Knight said.
He believed that too often we
look upon formal and traditional
examinations as efforts to find
out what the students think the
instructors have in mind.
In closing his remarks he said,
"I believe that a state university
should be wide Open to anybody
who ' can profit by anything
which the institution provides.

I may be delayed in getting

A fellow made a speech to

McGlinn Breaks
Precedent With
Second Election
Re-Elected Phi Sneaker. Also
Chairman of Carolina Po
litical Union
By Bob Perkins
Frank McGlinn, senior and
political science major, Droke a
precedent last week when he was
elected for the second successive
session as speaker of the Phi as
sembly. .
In addition to holding one of
the offices in the Phi for the past
four years, McGlinn is chairman
of the Carolina Political union,
secretary of the Human Rela
tions institute, Phi Beta Kappa,
a member of the Amphoterothen
society, organizer of a Young
Republican's club on the campus
and is active in other activities.
During his freshman year,
McGlinn worked for two weeks
on the Daily Tar Heel, tried
out for manager of football
team, and was a member of the
freshman debating team. Also
he was a leader in the campus
American Liberty league when
it was first organized. His social
activities include a membership
in the German club and a room
in the D.K.E. house.
McGlinn's first ambition t in
life was to be a violinist. Upon
securing a violin he was imme
diately disillusioned. He had
thought the same sounds would
come forth when he played as
had come from Spalding's violin
the night before. When told that
it would take many years of
lessons to play like Snaldinff.
McGlinn allowed the violin to
find its way to the attic. .
Next he felt the lure of the
stage. Again disappointment. It
seemed to McGlinn that the only
part he could play was himself,
that his whole life was a play,
he the leading character, and
that the play was destined to a
short rtin, with poor attendance
and bad notices.
