declared presi dent clement c williams in an ad dress last night at the new york lehigh club dinner at the murray hill hotel in honor of eugene g grace president of the board of trustees president williams said that ed ucation that hopes to raise the in telligence of every citizen to an ability to understand our complex issues is doomed to disappoint ment but that it should be aimed at developing the educatible for a representative leadership he ex plained the difference between a democracy and a republic saying that our country is a republic states lehigh's policy it was at this point that presi dent williams made his statement of lehigh's policy he quoted a spokesman for state universities as taking an analogy from the pro cess of finding gold in a low-con tent ore which had been rejected in the older refining processes and as averring that the function of the state institutions would be in part to rework the lower grade material that the endowed colleges have re jected this may be a proper function of the popularly supported institu tions but obviously the techniques and the products will be different stated dr williams lehighs policy should continue to be predicated on the higher ore and on quality of product attacks senate bill president williams attacked senate bill 1305 now before congress which would give the federal government control over all educational opportunities but that actually it would provide tenta cles of influence through subsidies which would place control of pub lic education in the federal govern ment . .
