A University's Purpose The begtnning of a new semester IS more than a rime for

registration, selection of courses, and weak resolutions to ''do better." It should be a time for reconsideration of che basic purpose of a university and a university's education.

In this week's 1ssue of che Saturday Review, Archibald MacLeish, the eminent educator and poet, has written a pen· etracing essay on "What Is a True University?" Mr. Mac­Leish points out that che American University has a ''Purpose" with a capital P. Quoting Woodrow Wilson, Mr. MacLeish defends the proposition that the American University must have a Purpose; and char Purpose should be the training of rhe young for American life, for che nation's service. The difference berween American education for service co the na­tion and ocher educational systems devoted to training foe the Scare, Mr. MacLeish says, is that American education should create a whole man rather chan a specialized cog for the ma­chinery of rhe State.

Mr. MacLeish states that u ••• education, above all university education, is not a portable welding system that can be picked up and carried across social frontiers to do the same job on one side as on the other; educa­tion is a function of the society in which it exists. Edu­cation in America is American or it is not education, for education, to quote (Werner) Jaeger .. . is 'The process by which a community preserves and transmits its physi· cal and intellectual character.' ,.

In this struggle between the Soviet and the American ways of life, the p rocesses of education may well become streamlined training methods to produce servants for the mass State, serv· ants who are functions rather than men. Now, the service to rhe nation has become service to the state, rather than service to rhe nation that once meant service co a community of free men. Mr. MacLeish further states that uThe service of the nation may have been an adequate educational goal fifty years ago when nation and community were more or less rhe same thing, but today, when the old American concepcion of community is one thing and the new American Nation is very rapidly be­coming another, the 'American University' must define irs purpose for itself. It must choose the needs it proposes to satisfy, nor on the basis of the Defense Department's priori­ties, but on the basis of the character of rhe community, which it is the University's duty to preserve and transmit."

gess for society. Yet, the function of an American University is the preservation and transmittal of ideals which make American civilization a free community. When the University loses thia function, it may well be that American civilization will no longer exist.

Thus, the first obligation of a true University, an Amer­ican University, is a moral and idealistic obligation. Washing­con and Lee should create excellent doctors, lawyers, business· men, and scientists, but irs primary function ia to create men firsr, and doctors, lawyers and so forth second.

Prestdent Gaines comments that Washington and Lee "has made two great committals of the spirit," and continues:

" One of these is that this University, subject to no type of political control whatever, is none the less dedi· cated to the democratic form, the accepted American form, of social organization; to the ancient freedoms and particularly to the liberty of the mind with its at· tendant right of inquiry, which underlines aU other authentic liberties; to the dignity of the individual-a conviction reflected in such modes of student govem· ment as the Honor System-and thau ultimately to the dignity of man.

"The other enduring adherence of this University is de­clared in che first by-law of its official regulations, fi rst in im­portance as well as in time, which affirms that, while secretarian domination in the school is prohibired, The obligation to in· culcate the Christian ideal is hereby acknowledged.'"

The Purpose of Washington and Lee, then, is that of preservation and transmittal of American ideals to men who will one day take their place in American so­ciety; first as men and leaders, and secondly as experts in their chosen professions. The maintenance of this Pur· pose is the core of existence for the University; without this purpose the University will no longer exist.

The 50th Fancy Dress Murray Wadsworth, the Dance Board, and all those con­

cerned with the "Golden J u.bilee" Fancy Dress Ball deserve the commendation of the student body for a dance set that was in keeping with the excellence of years past.

The bands for the weekend disproved any doubts that they were not of the calibre a Fancy D ress weekend deserves. Both Urbie G reen and Lester Lanin provided highly skilled, colorful and pleasant entertainment. Sandy Proctor, the vice president in charge of decorations, also deserves the gratitude and com­mendation of the srudent body fo r the excellent decorations for which he was responsible.

The 50th Fancy Dress Ball was in a tradition of excel­lence that has grown with every year. If Washington and Lee is fortunate to continue to procure the talents and effortS of those who made possible this Fancy Dress, we are certain that the tradirion of excellence will be maintained for another 50 years.

Freshmen Provide Incentive The announcement made today that only 30 students fell

under th e automatic rule at the end of the first semester might be considered evidence that the general academic progress of the student body is definitely on the upswing. In comparison to la.st year, the number marked a signi6c.ant reduction. Last year, 48 men fell under the automatic rule at the end of the same period. T his year, 13 of the thirty were freshmen ; last year, 3 1 of these were freshmen. The number of upperclass· men falling under the automatic remained the same.

Two fresh men and three upperclassmen were reinstated. Dean Gilliam commented that aU reinstatements were border­line cases.

There is no doubt that modem civilization needs specialists, and anyone with the most basic understand­ing of successful economic systems understands that specialization has provided technical and material pro-

We hope that this evidence of academic improvement in the freshman class will be repeated or excelled next year, and perhaps that the achievement of the freshmen will provide some incenrive co upperclassmen to maintain the standards of which

The So..-iet Chess Game

Soviet Industry Growing; Threatens U.S. Economy By SANDY MacNABB

The Chinese, before attempting to build the great wall, spent genera­tions gearing the national thinking to the magnitude of this project. Little children. were taugh waU building games and the university students devoted thelr time to engi­neering studies.

The Soviet Union, facing a great economic challenge, has taken ad­vantage of some pre·developcd thinking patterns. The Russians have developed the world's greatest chess players. They think in chess terms. They have public seminars which discuss the merits of new opening moves and which study the tech­niques of past champions.

A Cundament.al prerequisite of a chess player is that he be able to plan several moves in advance and that he anticipate the moves of his adversary and plan to meet them. Nlk.lt.a Krushcbev is no exception. He is always several moves ahead in his planning. His recent speech, in which he sets out the new So­viet seven year plan, has started me wondering what is the overall plan of his strategy.

His observations that the cold war is expensive and undesirable to both sides are rather obvious but I wonder how sincere they are. Mr. Krushc:hev lays most or the bt.me for the cold war at the feet or the United States. He com­plains of our world- wide denun­ciation of the Soviet UnJon and of our constant attempt to contain the Soviet Union in a rig of air and missile basel!.

He predicts lhaL Russia will catch up to U.S. production about 1972. These claims do not seem to be greatly exaggerated. The reports of American visitors to the Soviet Union describe the industrial growth as amazing. Indus trialist Cyrus Eaton stated after returning f-rom a recent tour or Soviet industry, ''Tht> men who head Russia's government, in­dustry, and banltlng are distinctly able ... are moving swlflly lo make the utmost of the broad array of resources that abound ln their vast and varied terrain."

These observations are concurred with by such economically sound minds as: Edward T. Ryerson, for­mer chairman of the board of lnJand Steel, Walker L. Sisler, president of Detroit Edison, Dr. Keith Glennan formerly of the A.E.C. Md now head of the Notional Space Agency.

Soviet production has increased 15 per cent in the past eight years, e.g., from 30 per cent of the U.S. total in 1950 to 45 per cent in 1958. It Ia not difficult to see the overall strategy when we lisU!n lo Mr. Krushchev's speech and review the industrial statistics. We then begin to wonder about the earlier predic­tions of economic enclrclmncnt und of the caplt.aliat nation.~ "dropping Uke over-ripe plums."

How are we movinlf to meet the-w Soviet mo\ es? What are we dom. to win the economic war? Are we firhtlnr the economic war tu p~erve public or prh•ate in­terest? These are the questions tbot come to mind wben I read of lbe role of the CIA (Central lntelli­rence Arency) in O\·erthrowlnr MoSiaderh in Iran and the concur­rent benefit to the Anglo-Iranian

• Oil Co. (which is ~uu under pros-

eculion by the Department oC Jus­tice. Secretary of State J ohn Foster Dulles and hl& brother AUan Dulles (head of CIA) were former mem­bers of the law firm of SuUivan and Cromwell who represented t.be Anglo-American Oil Co.

ProCessor Hans J . Morgenthau, of the University of Chicago, asks, " ... can we still afford the luxury of thinking about our economic prob­lems in the obsolete terms oi social­ism vs. capitalism, spending vs. saving instead of facing the real is­sue: expansion vs. stagnation?" he asks: "Can it (lhe U.S.) still afford the production of scores of slight­ly dillerent models oC essentially the same mercb.andise, production which serves no economic need but only the whim of the producer and consum­er?"

These arc interesting questions. It seems obvious that when we face such a well organized economic foe as the Soviet Union that we must have a united economic front, i.e., one which will place public interest over privet~ gain. This is not. only es­sential it Is criticaL

The question which remains Is who will take the leadership, the Executive or Congress? The record of the present adminlstratlon is that of moderation and inaction. Unless there are some severe administration policy changes to meet. the challenge of the coming election I should guess that it is up to the 86th Congress to assume the burden of outlining a new policy which will permit the United States to continue to grow economi­cally and which will protect our in­dustry from the eminent threat or the Soviet Union.

Lassman, Surface, and 6-5 Gene Girard, the team's top point man with 105, all average around 38 per­cent on lield goal accuracy, and this Is just average for college ball. The other General starter, 6-1 forward John K!rk, has 8 for 46 and a 17.4 mark.

Washington and Lee's staUatlclan, who for the past five years reveled in the mathematically superior per­formances of Lee Marshall end Dom Flora, has had to dig deep for any­thlng resembling a bright spot. But he finally found it.

According to computations based on points scored Ln proportion to total playing time, one General prob­ably is among the tops in the coun­try. Joe Hess, a 6-0 forward , appear­ed Ln six games for a total of aome 15 minutes, scoring 20 points Ln all. At this point per minute basis, li Hess were a started, he'd be adding up points at. a 50-point per game clip.

But Coach McHenry can't even give him a chance to prove himself now, !or Hess dropped !rom the squad just before exams.
