Dean Jay Glover Eldridge THRE USIVERSITY JUNIOR COLLEGE BDrogress is the keynote of education in America. The University of Idaho prides itself in the fact that it has been able to keep step with the leaders. In 1929 another definite move forward was taken by the establishment of a University Junior College, the first in any state university. Its program embraces the work done heretofore in the first two years of the College of Letters and Science, the School of Business Administration, and the School of Education. Into this college go all freshmen and sophomores intending to take up these lines of work, as well as those who are undecided as to their future vocations. The University Junior College proposes to do two things: to give a strong foundation in general education for those who do not intend to take more than two years of college work, and to furnish to all candidates for the non-technical degrees a broad and liberal foundation for any curriculum which they may wish to follow in the senior colleges. For both student and state the plan is practical and economical. The success with which the plan has met in its first year is due in large part to the efforts of the chairman of the Administrative Council of the college. Dean J. G. Eldridge, serving his twenty-ninth year at Idaho, is progressive, far-sighted and invaluable. ee —— ———— ee Page 19
