One wonders how a community which really believes in learning, confident that knowledge and character rather than good fortune and influence bring the highest rewards, could allow this most basic of all national services to fall into disrepute and contempt. For that is the crux of it. Public discussion of the teachers’ crisis have centered about salaries, as though merely paying a man an additional $300 would ensure his doing a better job. Salaries are unquestionably part of the picture; all other things being equal, you can get a better teacher for $3000 than for $1200; and $5000 might attract the same man who could make as much or more in law, business, or medicine. What matters quite as much as salary is prestige. Teachers ought to be accorded a social position in the community which corresponds with the position of other professional men. This is so in Europe, where the professors of the univer­ sities mingle on equal terms with cabinet members, admirals, and grand dukes. It ought to be so in this country, whose teachers and college professors have made a not negligible contribution to the community. The war showed that. Teachers are not altogether ridiculous fellows, the best of them Mr. Chips, the worst Ichabod Crane. Nor are they altogether ignorant, even in matters not their specialty. The views of a professor of history on atomic energy controls are likely to be at least as sound as those of a manufacturer of button-hooks. That is why teachers deserve compensation more nearly commensurate with their abilities and preparation; why they deserve equally a position in the community commensurate with those abilities and the great work they do. An Embarrassment of Riches HE latest report of the president of Colgate University opens with an obser­ vation that may be startling to some. "Few of our fellow citizens,” writes Dr. T Everett N. Case, "have more than the vaguest notion of the impact of the war years on the American college and university. The general impression seems to be that, having somehow survived a lean period, these institutions are now on Easy Street, thanks to their swollen postwar enrolment.” The truth, indeed, is quite other; and the phenomenal increase in the college population has been a serious embarrassment for both the academic administrators and the fiscal agents of the colleges. Dickinson, for example, is a small college whose plant, faculty, and adminis­ trative procedures were formed when the college had some 50 students. This year enrolment was nearly 850. In consequence, additional classroom, laboratory, and dormitory space had to be provided; the faculty was nearly doubled in size; and changes were made in ancient practices— what, for example, happens to compul­ sory chapel attendance when the chapel is too small to hold the entire student body? But, though these problems might be solved with reasonable effectiveness, another still remained. How were the increased costs to be met? For, as every one knows, the student never pays the full cost of his instruction. THE DICKINSON ALUMNUS 21

He is the beneficiary of funds left to the institution by hundreds of men, distinguished and nameless, who believed in education and were resolved that it should flourish in this land. Thus the great increase in the number of students in colleges these days has been no financial boon to the institutions. On the contrary, each additional student has only added to the college’s obligation to provide the costs of a part of his education. Colleges are thus thrust in the incredible position to going into debt directly as their enrolment increases. And so it falls out that a number of institutions are announcing drives to raise funds to meet the new conditions and to provide for the higher costs of edu­ cation in the future. Higher education in America has been— happily, we believe— almost exclusively in private control. If higher education in America is to remain in such control and not risk control by the state which may follow subsidies from the state, then certainly the gifts of friends of education everywhere must be solicited. For only by thus increasing their endowments can the colleges and universities of this country maintain— to say nothing of increasing— their services to the community. Dickinson, alumni will recall, had launched such a campaign six years ago, but cancelled it when the war broke out. If there was need for additional endowment in 1941 that need is even more pressing now. The time is at hand when Dickinsonians will be called on again to support the cause of education which the College itself supports. & Treasures in a Trunk HE gift by Mary Himes Vale, ’33, and her sister of a great collection of manuscripts and books relating to the early history of the College underlines T again the researcher’s conviction that, if he looks and waits long enough, the raw materials of history will turn up. Nothing, the preservation of these papers seems to suggest, is ever irretrievably lost. Somewhere in an old trunk or stuffed into a desk drawer are grandfather’s letters from Civil War battle fronts or a diary full of the fascinating commonplaces of a school-girl’s life in 1880. Dickin­ sonians have such things if they only knew. And, if they relate to the College, there is no better place to be certain they will be preserved— the historical as well' as the merely old-fashioned (which will become historical enough, by and b y !)__ than the Dickinsoniana collection in the College Library. Spring house-cleaning is P - V - d summer is no time to scour about in the attic; but next time you "redd up" the 1'brary or garrett and find things you've no use for, send the Library that bundle ot old College programs, that picture of the Conodoguinet Boat Club of 1872, or those posters of the Sophomore Burlesques. They'll be kept here lovingly till the Mermaid quits her post. ’ The Mermaid: Barometer of College Spirit HINGS are back to normal again at the College. The undergraduate life, changed somewhat by the war, is still undergraduate life. The students may T go about their work and think of their world with a seriousness that is quite new; but they plan their dances and while away the hours and concoct student pranks with a spirit and zest that must be as old as the universities themselves. We have abundant evidence of this at Carlisle this spring, but no testimony of ours could be haif so persuasive— half so conclusive, indeed— of our argument, as the bare recital of the fact that one night last month the Mermaid was secretly stolen and, after a decent interval, as mysteriously returned. May it ever be so! 22 THE DICKINSON ALUMNUS Brandeis: The Mind of A Liberal By D r . A l p h e u s T .
