119' W1 New ,, PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE ST PAUL ACADEMY ST PAUL MINN Vol XLVIV Frrday, March 9 1956 No 6 MR READ VISITS COLLEGES On the evenlng of February 22 Mr Read gave h1s annual talk on the colleges which he and Mr Briggs had v1s1ted on the1r eastern tr1p He was pleased to see present so many parents of boys who had graduated several years before Aside from them there were four mam subclasses of llsteners the first were the parents of boys who had graduated last year they wished to hear any news of the1r boys Next were the parents of present seniors at the Academy they wlshed a word on the matter of acceptance for their sons The third group consrsted of the parents of present junrors at the Academy who wlshed to know about the whole question of appl1cat1ons as rt appl1es to the class of 57 The final class was made up of three senrors from the Now and Then staff who had come 1n hopes of free food Although the number of colleges v1s1ted was somewhat lrmrted by attendmg or planning to attend the rtmerary of the trip was quite rmpressrve It mcluded 11 colleges two alumm meetrngs and the Head masters Association which lasted two days The tr1p began on Feb 5 when Mr Read boarded a tram for Chicago to attend the alumni meetmg there After spendlng the mght in the Wmdy Clty he pushed on to h1s first college stop At Pennsylvania he was entertarned by Pete Ward and Nell Mogllner The next step rn hrs seven league boots took hlm to New York, and another alumni meetmg From there he journeyed to Hartford Conn and Trmlty College where he was shown around by Phil and Dick French in the1r MG After this harrowlng experience he moved on to Yale where he enjoyed per fect attendance at the undergrad uate meetmg, an unprecedented oc currence The next two days were spent talking shop at the head masters conventlon the hlghhght of which was a speech by the con sultmg psychratrrst from Phrlllps Exeter Academy on the subject of Psychiatry and Educatlon Fol lowing this he v1s1ted Brown Um versity and then on to Cambridge and Harvard and MIT The com brned SPA forces from these schools met with Mr Read and offered several suggestions whrch they felt would help to better pre pare the present Acads for college life Paraphrased the suggestlons boil down to more and harder work On to Amherst and Ed Srmger and Knobby Wlnter The followrng phase of his tr1p was concerned wrth W1ll1amS College where he saw Sarge Kyle and Weed Seymour Rick Dr1scoll and Johnny Holman were away at a hockey game at the trme The next v1s1t was perhaps one of the more rn terestrng ones he was welcomed, on his first tr1p to Mlddlebury not by Academy graduates, but by srs ters of present students He was xery ably shown about by Carol Davis and Bonnle Marrs At Dart mouth he saw Tom Brackett and dlscovered that S1 Ford was the proud possessor of mononucleosrs For the final stop on his trip Mr Read went to Princeton where he was entertained by Ed Drlworth and John Scott Here too there was 100W attendance on the part of the old grads In closlng he read two artrcles on the subject of col Dean Warren of Columbla He Sald We are entrtled to expect that col lege graduates be able to read ar gumentatrve or expository prose swiftly, comprehendrngly, and re lentlessly that he be able to ex press himself 1n speech and writ mg grammatlcally lxterately and precisely that he has learned the basic lesson of us1ng a drctronary But we have found that few of our entering students, however carefully selected possess these skrlls to the extent needed for law study What IS scarcely less d1sturb1ng rs that there 1S no common core of knowledge that should be rn the firm quret possession of every per son who lays claim to a lrberal educatron And he ends up by say1ng even the most toler ant of cr1t1cs w1ll concede that whatever be the arts of whlch the students are bachelors wr1t1ng IS t one of them The second was put out by the Dartmouth Medlcal School which concurred wlth Dean Warrens In closlng Mr Read sald that he had a very enjoyable tr1p and had found the boys more mature and wrth more ralsed mterests than pr1or to the1r graduation He said he was glad to be back but that he looks forward to next years tr1p NSIT Photography Contest In the mterests of st1rr1ng up mterest in photography land dlS coxermg 1 new Now and Then strff photogrrpherl we rnstltute thc Now
