are engaged and its great expansion which must occurr in the future was discussed by dr harvey a neville at the annual freshman class banquet held thursday in the university center dr neville prefaced his remarks with a comparison of colleges when he went to school and col leges of today he emphasized the fact that the students and profes sors were much the same then as now except that today

much importance to the indi vidual students are the changes in requirements for entrance to col lege said dr neville dr neville said that anybody with a high school diploma was admitted then — that's how i got in — now the faculty wants bright students — anxious to learn and therefore easy to teach neville then discussed the im portance of being educated he first cited the critical shortages of qualified people in the more ad vanced fields the greatest needs and most attractive opportunities are at the most advanced levels of education neville said he said that the aim of this expansion

aptitudes — and to the limit of his capability on the average neville said a college graduate earns 175,000 more in a lifetime than a high school graduate every day spent in college is therefore 240

in business indus try government and science edu cation prepares and restrains in dividuals to help meet rapid changes dr neville continued neville mentioned automation as a by product of education he stated that machines and calcula tors are a threat to highly skilled workers his answer to his prob lem was that men must be edu cated to even higher levels of in telligence and skill the importance of an individual receiving a college education is clear when one considers that the number of jobs for the unskilled or unadequately educated is declining dr neville concluded with a picture of
