(Reprinted From The Connecticut Daily Campus) In the recent plethora of writings and speeches on the subject of American education a suddenly awakened public has realized the need for a strong system of education to maintain not only a democracy such as the United States, but also a dictatorship like the Soviet Union. Yanked from a complacent frame of mind, wooed by the present administration and their own intellectual lethargy, the American public is debating the vices and virtues of the Soviet System and contemplating revisions in our own system. Republicans are blaming Democrats and vice versa, parents are blaming teachers and the schools are claiming lack of parental cooperation, professors and col- lege administrators are chiding us all for the present fix, and everyone from the man in the street to college presi- dents is proclaiming what the student should and should not be. Put what about the student? How does he fit into the I ru in Lcrner picture, and above all, what does he think he should and Trunibull House should not be?

Where does a student's responsibility lie in his college, and even in his high school career? Should he commit his LETTERS TO THE EDITOR devotion to himself, his family, his school, his community, To the Editor: mination to preserve his government, but his state or nation or to his profession?
