THE American college, particularly the publicly supported college, is often criticized because it is not just the tine scholastic and aristocratic thing Oxford or Cambridge is. or an intellectually powerful force such as radiates from the University of Berlin and other great German centres of learning, or because it lacks something that French institutions have. We have a few notable endowed institutions where strenuous attempts arc made to imitate old world, particularly English, institutions, an architectural imitation which is qutc successful and a less successful social effort to be unlike America. In these institutions many of the over-privileged youth of the country who have the requisite intelligence quotient congregate. These institutions arc widely different in spirit from some of the remarkable state colleges and universities of the Middle West, for example, where no apologies arc made for American ideals, but rather where there is a definite pride in these idals. The people who think they are superior are having a hard time since everyone was given a vote and an automobile. A major problem in American education is to slough off the senseless aristocracy of the dead past and retain those necessary refinements without which democracy, in education or anything else, will defeat itself. In the meantime America is making an effort through public support of education including higher education, to equate superiority in terms of usefulness.

He is Chairman of the Budget Committee and of the Graduate Division. In his dealings with faculty and students, he is clear cut, fair, and tirni, and yet essentially kind. His greatest satisfaction comes from his teaching for which he has a natural gift. Scholarly and thorough, a master of his subject, he is a most inspiring teacher. Franklin L. West Dean of the Facility TO be a friend of girls one must has-c a keen interest in girls, must be able to inspire a feeling of confidence in girls, must understand the problems confronting girls, must have faith in the ability of girls to solve their own problems and must be cogni .ant of the social and economic conditions under which girls arc living. According to this criteria, Mrs. Hendricks qualities as a friend of girls, and she truly occupies such a place in the life of the women of the Utah State Agricultural College. In her classroom as teacher of sociology, as well as in her service as Women’s Advisor, she has a marked influence in the development of personality among the students on our campus. Mrs. Hendricks thinks the typical women of today must possess a combination of characteristics that has not been found in any other women in past history. One of the great needs of the present is for the womanly woman. That type of woman who possesses all the niceties and charms, the grace and beauty, of the truly feminine woman who has been most admired throughout the ages. In addition the woman of today must possess the virtues of strength, of integrity, of initiative, of courage, to face honestly the problems of life, and of willingness to assume her responsibility as a member of society.
