MERITS OF ALUMNI ON FACULTY
OUTWEIGH THE OBJECTIONS
Whether the recalling of recent graduates of State College to posts mi the faculty will lead to intellectual stagnation, and lower the grade of teaching here, is the question
raised by an alumnus in the current issue of the Alumni
Quarterly.
For students under the system of "inbreeding" that the
alumnus declares exists here, the (jitestion is of more than
casual interest. The system cannot he judged in a general
manner, but should be considered ease by case.
It is true, as Dr. Brubacher pointed out in his recent
report to the trustees, that there is an unbalanced ratio
between the "small number of assistant professors and the
excessively large number of instructors. In a teacher training institution this is a disportion that cannot he justified.
We must have the maturity and professional training and
experience that is general!} represented by the master's
degree or the doctorate, qualities demanded for the assistant professorship."
As long as this disportion exists, and it doubtless exists
because of financial reasons, we are inclined to think that
the scales balance in favor of recent graduates of State
College and against equally recent graduates of other colleges.
The recent graduates oi Stale ( ollege who are employed
are at least known quantities to their employing officers.
Their general characteristics and teaching qualities have
been observed, They are in nearly all ca-es taking advanced courses at universities,
f o r the most part, they
teach only freshman subjects.
When a graduate has received his master's degree and
doctorate from a university, he c m no more he considered
in strict meaning as trained here than as trained in the
other institution. His viewpoint lias been broadened, and
he nn longer fits into his former cast that moulded him.
We might also point out that as a teacher training institution, State College differs from other colleges where,
i; has been asserted, "inbreeding" has been found dangerous. A graduate, trained as a good teacher, is more valuable here than a person from another college without professional equipment.
'I'he alumni could well become interested in the problem
of raising the standard of instruction hereby working for
the presence oi more doctors, and masters mi the faculty.
The question ol stagnation and shallowness will be obviated, the Xi'.ws feels, whin t i n . problem is solved,

THESE QUESTIONS NEED ANSWERING
W h i l e the explanations concerning t h e St. Stephen's
cancellation made by President Bell of St. Stephen's
college, a n d by T h o m a s P. Fallon, State's basketball
m a n a g e r , a r e highly satisfactory, t h e N E W S still questions t h e reason for a b a n d o n i n g the annual so-called
" N e w York trip"—as far as the Setott Mall g a m e is concerned.
T h e State quintet will not have left ils o w n court this
season, except for a g a m e with D a r t m o u t h , played on
the Albany High school Moor, half a block west of the
College.
A certain element at this College was offended by the
St. Stephen's cancellation, though it was apparently unavoidable. Would not the Scion Mall college student
body feel similarly offended?
D o not the Stale players deserve the trip to N e w York
as a recognition for their services? W h y is the traditional trip abandoned? l i a s not the m a n a g e m e n t sufficient funds to pay for ihe trip?
If not, was not the
trip provided for in the budget? Will not some of the
D a r t m o u t h game profits—assuming that there must have
been a profit, with (lie record a t t e n d a n c e — h e l p pay the
expenses?
If the trip is not feasible, what will happen t o the
money that was to have been expended on it/ Will the
players be given some recognition for their services?
Does not the policy of not having at least one game
on a foreign court per year smack of a retrogression in
athletics here? Does il not show a weakness, considering the disadvantages an o p | cut is put to on State's
court ?
These are questions that the m a n a g e m e n t should answer to satisfy student opinion, Until these questions
are answered adequately, there will be questioning. A
statement in next week's NKWS may clarify the situation.
With the Albany Evening News running "Aces High", a
story of American aviators in the World war, and the
Times-Union featuring Col. Lindbergh's "We", local journalism seems to be "all up in the air".

1924 Junior Prom Is First To Bury Finals

O n c e more junior prom week rolls

PRESS MEET JAUNT
Curbing a high school girl's n a t u r a .
hlstiiict to self a d o r n m e n t by strict
rules compelling the use of uniform
dresses is far too radical a step to
adopt, according to Mrs. Florence
Dodge Frear, instructor in home economics.
Mrs.
Frear makes an appeal for
"dress governed by a uniformity of
principles and still have the pleasing
variety which color and appropriate
design make possible", in a recenl
issue of N e w York Stale Education.
Nome economics classes and deans
should care for the problem of cxireiue styles affected by high school
girls, she said. Class room teachers
should work t o g e t h e r to eliminate the
more bizarre styles, she thinks.
Educators believe thai something
has to be done about short skirts, earrings, rouge, marcells, and all extremes
in dress. They believe Ihal llic.se ex
lieiiii'S, indulged in because of llie de
-iic ol each girl In outshine llle other,
is ruining (lie taste ami neat appear
auec of the rising younger -et, and
lakine. lime and attention from their
•u'lin.il work.
T h e y believe thai In
unifying the c o s t u m e s of Hie M'IIOOI
girls ihal taste in dress will be i li
lied and refined.

Thomas P. Fallon, manager of the
varsity basketball team, today characterized as "absolutely incorrect" the
report that the basketball management
is considering a break in athletic relations with St. Stephens's college.
The report, published in last week's
NEWS, is without foundation, Fallon
declared. "The men at St. Stephen's
are gentlemen, and act in a gentlemanly way in all their transactions.
Any insinuation that there will be a
break in our athletic relations is
false", he told the NEWS.
" T h e officials and everyone else
connected with St. Stephen's give us
the best co-operation of any college
with which we have relations.
Offered Alternative Date
"Their cancellation of our scheduled
game was done in a gentlemanly way,
and they did everything in their power
to offer us another game on their
court. Our schedule was so arranged
that such a meeting is impossible,"
Fallon said.

Three swimming meets are being
planned for the men's swimming team,
according to Robert J. Siiillinglaw,
manager of the sport. One is a return meet with the Pharmacy college
squad, another will be with the St.
Paul's church team and a third will
be an intramural decathlon, limited to
members of the swimming squad. The
winner of this meet will probably be
awarded a plaque if funds can be obtained to defray the cost of the award.
Each entry in the decathlon will be
required to enter each event listed and
the one finishing with the lowest number of points will be awarded the
plaque.
First place in the decathlon
events will count one point, second
counting two, so that each swii
er
will gel a mark for each event.
Swimming practices will probably
start within the next (wo weeks, according to Siiillinglaw.
Arrangements for the use of Bath 1
