Through courtesy of the Detroit News, the article to all alumni appears below. of interest By ALLEN SHOENFIELD (Staff Correspondent of THE DETROIT NEWS) Breaking sharply with accepted peda gogical theory and practice, Michigan State College has staged a revolt of such significance and magnitude that it may influence the course of higher education in the United States for generations to come. Occasional brief reports of "reorgan ization" and of the creation of a "basic college" appearing to date have given little hint of the philosophy and purpose underlying the changes taking place here. But, in effect, the State has acquired a wholly new institution of learning which will open its doors for the first time on Sept. 19. Breath-taking the purpose is stated simply as to seem a facetious elaboration of the obvious. It its conception, in is: "The purpose of education is to edu cate." Yet, in the opinion of the entire faculty, the schools of the nation, not ex cluding their own institution, have been failing miserably at that task. Few Fit For College It was last March that President John A. Hannah called his faculty together to lay before them some thoughts that had been troubling him for years. He pointed out that many freshmen could neither speak nor write forcefully or intelligently. They could not spell. Their knowledge of mathematics, history and the basic sciences was generally rudimentary. They had no conception of their place in nature or in human society. They were unprepared to become citizens in the broadest sense. Some should never have entered col lege. Others would benefit by a year or two of instruction. But only one in four had sufficient capacity to graduate. And even among these, there would be many who were well grounded in some special ty and wholly uneducated outside their special fields. A Waste of Time Yet the college treated all alike. It that all stu acted on the assumption dents were created equal, intellectually; that all could be "processed" by the same machinery designed to produce the scholar, the professional man and woman. the scientist, The results, Dr. Hannah said, were pitiable. Too often, several of the most valuable years of a student's life were wasted, not to speak of the parent's and the State's money, and the time and en ergies of instructors. Those who dropped out were prepared for nothing. Many who did acquire a degree later found that they were not at all suited for the careers they had fancied. Some drifted to other channels; others doggedly pur sued, as mediocrities, they had planned. the course What could be done to establish the aptitudes and abilities of the individual, to direct the youngster into paths calcu lated to yield the greatest satisfaction to himself and the maximum degree of use fulness to the community? Back to Fundamentals Dr. Hannah was critical of the century- old tendency toward free electives. He proposed nothing more than a return to first principles and to disciplined study which would give the student a broad perspective, providing him with basic in formation relative to the world in which he must live. representatives He asked each college department to from whom he name would select a committee of eight. Its members would be relieved of all other S E P T E M B E R, 1 9 44 . . .. 3 duties, and would meet daily until they felt they had something to report. Following scores of conferences with f a c u l ty subcommittees and informal discussions, the committee, at its thirty- third meeting, approved a precise plan. Beginning in September, every student must spend two years of study in the basic college. . . . (Students already de cided on their special interests will en roll in the school offering that specialty as well as in the basic college, thereby identifying themselves with their special fields while studying the broader basic courses.) Plan Aptitude Tests the basic college, at Seven "core" courses would be offered in least five of which must be taken; more if a desig nated department of specialization de manded. Other credits would be given for studies necessary as prerequisites for the several departments of the college. Some electives would be allowed. Aptitude and ability tests were to be given on admission and periodically dur ing the two years. Eighteen members of the faculty, rep resenting all departments, were to be designated as advisers. They were to be relieved of one-half their teaching load and, to equip them for program counsel ing, they were to be given preliminary training in the interpretation of tests, vocational opportunities and curricula in tended to prepare for those vocations. Transfer from one intended field of specialization to another should be made easy. Offer 2-Year Course All students were to elect some courses intended to develop a special skill and to fit the individual for clerical work, busi ness or employment in a trade or serv ice organization. A new "terminal curriculum" should be offered to students seeking twro years' acquaintance with basic science and broad cultural subjects, combined with practical training for a vocation. Spe cial "certificates of completion" should be issued to these students in lieu of the diploma awarded at the end of four or more years of study. The comprehensive "core" courses are described as unique and have nothing in common with the so-called "survey" courses with which some institutions have sought to remedy the defects of collegiate education. The "core" courses are being devised to meet a particular need. Unlike the "survey" courses, they will not draw lecturers from other de partments, each offering his own view point and the result being confusion.

"Breaking sharply with accepted pedagogical theory and practice, Michigan State College has staged a revolt of such significance and magnitude that it may influence the course of higher education in the United States for generations to come." ^—The above paragraph was the lead to a story written by Allan Shoenfield, one of the thoughful and thorough reporters of Michigan. It was a follow-up on something that attracted but mild attention last March when President John Hannah of the East Lansing institution pointed out that many freshmen could "neither speak nor write forcibly nor intelligently." They could not spell. Their knowledge of mathematics, history or basic science was rudimentary. On frequent occasions practical men in business and industry have expressed their convictions that the schools were not doing a thorough job of educating. For their pains they got a tolerant smile from most school heads. Education, it seemed, was a sort of "holy cow" about which they could not be expected to understand and into which they were completely incapable of offering con structive suggestions. But . .. it is different when the same statements, better phrased and based upon years of contact with the products of the schools, come from someone like John Hannah. He is not alone. One of the top men in Cass Technical high school in Detroit recently said the same thing. We can only conclude that such men have the courage of their convictions — that they are caring more about results than their jobs; that the change-over of 11 million young men from peacetime pursuits to war has proven something that is not flattering to the schools. Shoenfield writes of the March meeting at which the Michigan State College faculty discussed this subject: "The purpose of education is to educate. Yet in the opinion of the entire faculty, the schools of the nation, not excluding their own institution, have been failing miserably at that task . . . Too often, several of the most valuable years of a student's life were wasted, not to speak of the parent's and the State's money, and the time and energies of instructors. Those who dropped out were prepared for nothing. Many who did acquire a degree later found that they were not at all suited for the careers they had fancied. Some drifted to other channels; others doggedly pursued, as mediocrities, the course they had planned." Upon these premises, President John Hannah has reorganization designed to correct some of the ills mentioned. Kegardless of results, it is refreshing to know that there is an educator who does not hesitate to openly and honestly state his convictions — and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. led a 1.

Offer Basic Facts The purpose of the several "core" courses is stated as practical training for life in organized society.

The new curriculum, open to students at the beginning of the fall quarter on September 19, provides training in the technical phases of dairy manufacturing, handling and processing of fruits and vegetables, selecting, storing, and pro cessing meats, and in cereal manufac turing. Preparation for certain kinds of food processing positions, said Dean Anthony, may be completed in four years. How 6 . . . . T HE R E C O RD ever, he added, students interested in the broad field of food technology should plan a five-year course leading to a mas ter of science degree in food technology. Students will be required to spend two summers or the equivalent of six months gaining practical experience in food pro cessing or food manufacturing. They may enroll in the new course any quar ter during the school year. In the postwar period, Dean Anthony believes more persons will be needed with specialized training in the process ing of foods, particularly in the dry and frozen food industries. Alumni Scholarship Records One-hundred and twenty-one students at Michigan State College on alumni scholarships during 1943-44 made a grade point average of 2.178, or slightly better than a "B". The average for all stu dents enrolled at MSC for the same peri od was 1.56, or slightly more than a "C" plus. Glen O. Stewart, director of alumni relations, stated the average for the 64 freshmen alumni scholarship winners in 1943-44 was 2.011. The scholarships represent a waiver of the tuition and are given each year to high school graduates and post-gradu ate students who were scholastically in the upper third of their class. the freshmen maintain superior grades, the grants are continued through their col lege course of 12 quarters.

As you can well imagine I have a deep tan, and we keep in good condition playing softball and touch football when we can. Mosquitoes are plentiful as are lizards and centi pedes, and we are fortunate to be living on board the boats. . . . "Our 'hotel' facilities are super. Our shower is a homemade contraption and consists of a 50 gallon oil drum with a shower spigot attached. Rain water is collected in these same drums—they are placed under tents and canvas on shore. We are fortunate in being at this par ticular base in that we can nose our boats directly into the beach. This per mits us having nice shade as well as being ashore most of the time. This island is fairly cool. How particular ever, we expect to move further up the line very soon. As for returning to the States, I don't this to get back much before expect time next year. . . . "We have been shelled from the beach a few times, and strafed and bombed by the Japs, the closest they came was 50 yards one night. Saw Jim Crowley, (Lt. Comdr.) a few weeks ago.

Two years before, in April, the Speculum remarked that ". . . our sports are confined to an occasional 'scrub' game of baseball or a miscellaneous kicking of the foot-ball." Most of the interest in football was centered around the various interclass con tests. In June, 1884, the Speculum reported that "The foot-ball is again booming on the college campus but the seniors are fast losing interest in the sport; for the freshmen have learned to give as good as they take in shin kicking."
