educational club held a meeting on wednesday night in the faculty room in the memorial building the fa culty educational club consists of members of the faculty who are interested in pedagogical problems especially those con cerned with college teaching the speaker at the meeting was dean mcconn whose subject was waste in higher educa tion following the address there was held a period of open discussion on the subject the address given by dean mcconn was well delivered and the content was excellent ac cording to dean mcconn's opin ion the most prominent func tion of the university is that of a selective agency selecting those men for graduation who are physically mentally and morally competent to assume po sitions of responsibility and leadership and eliminating those who are not but that we must not forget that students who are here for only one or two years receive benefit also their time is not necessarily wasted dean mcconn stated also dur ing the course of his address what he thought were the throe most prominent reasons for any one's not finishing his college ca reer first on account of finan cial difficulties second because of illness and third on account of poor scholarship it is due to the first reason financial troubles that the univ ought to do all within its power to help the man to stay at this point the speaker expressed a hope that a student employment bu reau would soon become found ed at lehigh although the uni versity is doing a great deal al ready in that line through loan funds the health service bu reau is doing a great deal to al lay the second cause and is sup plemented there by the hygeine lectures as for the third rea son there are dean mcconn thinks four causes for a man's flunking out first inadequate preparation second loss of
