Also in the line o£ new construction is the badU needed new cen- tral library, pictured by the architect at right. A large number oMcctHr efction reto afge is the find- ing of the report, and it is the consensus of the coinmittee that many excellent lecturers are less effective in large lecture sec- tions than in small, although individual teachers vary greatly in this regard.

Lkiiuig lo the prc-incdical curriculum in particular, the report states the fear that pre-med students take too narrow professional course which may cause difficulties later on. ' Ilie committee urges that pre-medical work should be devised to lead, without material loss of time, lo other professional opportunities.

Dean Ingraham pointed out, and art constantly under scrutiny. The last paragraph ol the two hundred and twenty-seven page re|)ort sets forth a challenge for the university. The com- ing years w ill show how well the university will meet it. We (the committee) sincerely iK-lieve that the university is • tremcly useful cominunity of .scholars. We also believe It IS |)ossibl( for it to be more scholarly, to become more useful, to approach more nearly the ideal community. Idealism, intelli- gence, candor, effort, and support will all be neeiled. «.-.O IK«K ».mV.,.«H» V«.
