Current Comment
Every Alumnus I, hereby extended a hearty ill\'itation to return to the Coll ege fo r the 69th Annual Commence ment, .J une 2 to 5, in cl usive. T he program of events appears on the back cover of t hi ~ issue and includes something of in terest to everyone. 'Ye a rc particul arl y proud of this year', speakers. Dr. Ker,,,hn cr and Dean Landis have aehieved distin ction in their respective fi elds and are well \I'o rth hea rin g. Those of you who can attend the Baecalaureate Sen 'ice, the Comm eneement E xercises, 0 1' both, will fin d it wo rth their while to do so. )lot e\'e ryone ca n spend the entire weekend on the Campus, however, but there are at least a thousand gmduates of the College who could co me back fo r Alumni Day, Saturday, June 3, with little in co nvenience 0 1' expense, and it is to this group that our ex hortation is espec ia ll y addressed. In the first pl ace, it is reunion year fo r twenty-one classes, starting wi th 1884 and in cl udin g each fifth cia,,, thereafter. Since most of these classes ha\'e no fo rm al organization, we suggest that ,orne in di\' idual members of each take the ini tiati\'e now , fo rm a committee and pl an ,ome sort of a reunion on Alumni D ay, e\'en if it is no more than designating a particul ar spot on the Campus as a common meeting-place. 1889, 1914 and 1929 have a particul ar interest in thi s day, fo r they celebrate their fiftieth, twenty-fifth and tenth anni ve rsaries r esp ect i ve l ~', We hopc t hat they will celebrate in an appropriate manner and bend every effo rt to get as many of thei l' classmates ba(' k as is humanly possible, Secondl y, Alumni D ay is exactly wh at it says, a day set apart fo r the ,on, and daugh ters of U rsinus to return to the scenes of younger days, relax in fa mili ar surroundin gs, renew old friendships, and experience a revival of the Ursinus spirit. l t a ll depends on you. The more peopl e returning, the better the day will be. D on't think there will be enough alumni around without you, that yeu will not be missed, that nobody will remember you, that there \I'on't be anybody there you woul d like to see, You arp bound to be wrong. Come one, come all , we are going to have at least a thousand alumni here on June 3 if you will help us out.
More and More Students
Are coming to Ursinus each year through the influence of the gr a du a t e~ of the Coll ege. This is a very hea lthy state of affairs, first, because it sho\l'8 that the a lumni ha\'e a pride and interest in their Alma M ater, and second, that they are willing to work to advance its interests, These cffOl,t" a re natura ll y appreciated by the College authorities, wh o, in turn, are anxious to work "'ith the alumni in every way possibl e, T o thi s encl , we wi h to make a helpful suggestion or two. If you have some boys and girls in mind who would make good Ursinus students, get wo rking on them now, if you have not yet done so . If they are thinking of coll ege but have no defini te ideas on the ,; ubj ect, talk Ursinus to them and their parents and tell Frank Sheeder about them, If they are in te rested in attending Ursinus, encourage them in every way possible. Arrange for them to attend the Open H ouse program on :May 6 and 7. If they aren't sure about entrance requirements or have a fin ancial probl em, arrange for an in te rview with a representati\'e of the Co ll ege. But don't pro crastin ate, Tlw number of dormitory room" ,eholarships and self-help jobs is limited, and there is litt le left over fOl' the late-co rn el'. You will help us to help you if you get ~'o ur entrie;; fo r the Cl ass of 1943 lined up now, URSINUS COLLEGE ALUMNI J OU RN AL
THE PRESIDENT'S P AGE At the annual meeting of the Assoc iation of College Presidents of Pennsy lnmia a few weeks ago, Dr. William Mather Lell'is, of Lafayette College, made a memo r abl e address. The fo llowing quotations wi ll be of interest to the alum ni of u r,inus : "There is unusual signi fica nce attached to this annual meeting. In the fi rst pl ace, it is held in H arrisburg during Inauguration \\' eek. \\' e have every rea.on to hope that under the in coming administration inte lligent economy is to pI'evail and the ed lH' ational system is not to be a po li tical too l. In the second pl ace, this meeting is attended by more than a hundred trustees of pI'ivately-endowed institu tions throughout the State. These trustees, representing more than a thousand leading profe sional and business men in P ennsy lva nia wh o serve on College go v erning boards, are here to lend theil' aid in strengthening the position and widening the influence of an educational agency whi ch sin ce Coloni al days has been ade quately serving the needs of the youth of Penn sy lva nia without cost to the tax payers. As good business men and good citizens, they disapprove the idea of duplicating, at the cost of mi ll ions of do llars of public monies, facili ties fo r higher ed ucation already ava il able. "All who are gathered here today recogni ze that at a tim e when the tw in men aces to thc well-being of our coun try are Communism and Fascism unusual effort must be made to protect inde pendence of thought and action to avoid that regi mentation which comes with increased government domination. Anything tending to destroy ilI cI i"idual initiative and freedom and put ente I'JJrises such as higher education un der poli t ical control is a step toward the systems in vogue in Germany and Russ ia. "In the colleges there are many who shoul d not be there, and who retard the progress of th e competent. I t is not necessary in this instance to define the type to which I refer. Suffi ce it to say that through their presence and their attitude our academi c standard s arc levcled dOl\'ll to a pl ane of mediocri ty. 'But,' said a man to whom I made this statement in New York some time ago, 'isn't it true that even those students who have li ttle interest in the best thing that the college offer still get somethin g of value out of their four years' ex peri ence in the college?' Certainl y it is. But wh at they get is overbalanced by wh at they take away from the intel lectuall y competent and eagel' among their fell ows, We all kn ow perfecUy we ll that the weaknesses in American government, in business, and in industry are not due to the basic principl es upon which these enterprise, arc fo unded, but upon faulty administration, upon lacks in the in tellectual attainment and character of those wh o administer them. The college which are eliminating the unfi t, and whi ch are adopt ing sound poli cies for the adeq uate ed ucation of the exceptional, wi ll make a vastly greater contribution to the well-being of Ameri ca in the coming cru cial years than ,hose which are content to go the eMY way of mediocri ty. "The privately-endowed colleges and universities of Pennsy lvani a have never been more effective than at present, and the total enrollment has ne,'er been so large as at present, . , , The co lleges give annual assistance in sc holarships and other grants of over $2 ,000,000 to needy students. No deserving youth in the State is deprived of higher education because of a lac k of funds. Thus, in the best sense of the term our colleges arc people' colleges." President Lewis's concern for the futm e of the independent coll ege, now threat ened by the tendency toward government support and government control of higher education, is shared by college Lrustees and administrators. I t is reasonably certain that during the next twenty years some of the ind ependent colleges in Penn sylvania will close their doors, some will become vocational schools fo r those who are not "book-minded," and some-the strongest and best--will hold their present pl ace of leadership and perform their present fun ction of educating the "book minded. " If a privately-endowed college is to remain in the third group, it must continue to attract the best students and must con tinue to offer them superior advantages. It must not be "content to go the easy way of mediocri ty." Like many hundreds of other alumni, I believe that Ursinus must remain in the third group. No one can doubt that the alumni of Ursinu , all of whom are con tributing to the support and expansion of the tax-supported institution, will do their share to keep their own college in itR right ful pl ace, 2 URSINUS COLLEGE ALUMNI JOURNAL
