TO EDUCATION It is a truism that a college can be no better than its faculty. Without minimization of the place of extracurricular activities, social functions, and group living in-the rounded development of the student, one cannot ignore that e heart of the college educational process is the faculty. Without faculty mem- gers dévoted to quickening the growth of its students, with resultant inevitable changes in attitudes and horizons, a college cannot serve its proper function. To select and build a faculty of the necessary stature is the most important problem of the college administrator. What are the major qualities which identify the ideal instructor? First, he must have intellectual capacity and insight. Knowledge of the subject he teach- es, basically essential, must be supplemented by breadth of learning and by under- standing of the interrelationships of his subject and other fields. Secondly, he must be articulate, able to communicate his ideas to his students. Thirdly, he must have deep interest in his students as individuals, concerning himself with their variations in ability, background, and motivation, anxious to learn their needs and to fulfill these insofar as he may. Fourthly, he must have enthusiasm for teaching and for his subjec t. This enthusiasm is the surest motivation for the hard work and continued study that underlie all good teaching, for the con- stant search for more effective methods of presentation, for the continual re-evalu- ation of one’s teaching. ‘Too, the enthusiasm of the student can seldom be engendered except by the enthusiasm of the instructor. Finally, the instructor must have personal integrity. Honesty, fairness, and justice must be engrained in his being. At every grading period, for example, he faces a test of his ethical standards; only if he successfully passes this test of fairness and justice can he merit the respect of his students and aid to instill in them a similar ideal of person- al integrity. Inherent in these essentials, or entwined with them, are other estimable qualities which might be named. Cooperation and institutional loyalty can scare- ly be absent in a man of intelligence and personal integrity, or human sympathy and tolerance in a person deeply interested in his students. Where the five essentials are combined in a teacher the college administrator can be confident of the growth of his students under his warm and kindly light. With a faculty composed exclusively of men and women of such stature, details of curricula and course organization would become relatively insignificant. Education — in its truest sense — would be the end-result.
