7. i oy PHE SPIDER WEI KENNETH IRVING BROWN A.B., University of Rochester; A.M., Harvard University; Ph.D., Harvard University The President Minds or Men (By Kenneth Irving Brown) American education is facing today the question, Is it the function of a college to educate minds or men? In the past it has been the predominant thought that the responsibility of a college began and ended at the threshold of a college classroom. If local conditions made dormitory facilities necessary, the college might build dormitories, but its sole obligation was to see that the students did not wantonly destroy college property or too seriously endanger their lives. Many educators today, however, are demanding that the college assume a responsibility not merely for the awakening of the student’s mind, but indeed for the awakening of the entire man. Those who speak for this group say education must assist the student to sound physical, social, moral, and spiritual, as well as mental growth. Hiram College has for decades taken this second position; its concern is, to be sure, to train minds, but in addition to offer the students who come to this Hill such an environment as may contain the fullest opportunities for self-education, for the maturity which will enable a man or woman to be an intelligent, responsible individual. 19
