THE NAssAU HE1lALD 1916 DANCE Conmurrma Far be it from me to claim that the faculty knows all that is worth knowing about this problemg but the weakness in the average campus discussion of Princeton's intellectual back- ground is that the blame is always laid on the curriculum and at the door of the faculty room, when, after all-, the chief in- herent difficulty remains untouched-to wit, the extreme re- luctance of the average American undergraduate to do any more real intellectual work than will enable him to save his academic skin unscathed.

If the present pace is to be maintained it was high time thatisome system should have been injected into the management and distribution of our welter of outside interestsg and I think I see an illustration of the growing common sense of campus life in the long step toward centralization recently taken by the Senior Council in establishing a Committee on '79 'IWIGERS I 15 l
