Across from TCU THE UNIVERSITY STORE 3023 Universtiy Drive Student Center 808 Houston—Downtown THE SKIFF Friday. May 7, THS dfoact 0?nie#tct&... Let's Think It Through By LYNN GARLAND One of the major crisis facing the private educational institution /4& /HuACUfb today is the threat posed by the public university. The public school, supported to a large degree by public funds, can offer education at a much lower cost than can its private counterpart The private college or University, to survive, must offer something that the public school cannot supply—it must offer more to the student to counterbalance its higher costs Most private institutions arc striving to give their students a higher quality education than can be supplied by state-supported schools. Pri vate schools are usually in a position to offer their students advantages which are not available at many public universities. Being, for the most part, much smaller, the private school can promise the student more individual attention from the faculty Classes are usually smaller in the private institution; professors can more easily become acquainted with their students and are more readily available for individual discussion Reject Mass Education After the riots at Berkley, more and more people are becoming aware of the disadvantages of the multi-university We believe that more and more students will reject mass education in favor of the more per sooalized atmosphere of the private institution. TCU, as a private school, obviously has some of the advantages and faces most of the problems shared by other private institutions across the country. As a Texas school, it faces a problem not shared by many other private school; it is in direct competition with the University of Texas U of T offers its students a fine education and has low tuition require ments Many private schools are in competition with state schools which offer a medioere education, but we must compete with one of the best. In order to continue to prosper, our University must recognize and meet the challenge offered by U of T We must offer what it, because of its larger proportions, is unable to offer We must offer higher quality, more personalized education for our higher tuition in order to survive Insure Continued Prospertiy The problem already, we feel, has been recognized. At Fall Con- vocation, Dr Hans Roscnhaupt made an excellent speech on the sub- ject which met with widespread favorable reaction But, we feel there are many things which should be done to insure the continued prosperity of our school. The individualized, personalized education which TCU, because of its size, Ls in a position to offer must be encouraged. If, to insure per sonal contact between the students and faculty, we have to limit our en rollment, then the enrollment should be limited. TCU must continue to seek the best available professors for its rwl A*F. 1 V^«l^»i^- faculty. And, to get the top men, obviously, we need good salaries, and even more important, a top academic climate, where intellectual leaders are free to experiment with new ideas. Today, more than ever, our Uni versity cannot afford to stagnate in a climate of complacency and out dated educational ideas. Despite the competition from public schools, there is still a place for the private institution. But the challenge of survival is there and must be met—soon
