ASSOCIATE DEAN HUSBAND STANDS BY STUDENTS
"The modern college student is not a lounge lizard", was the statement, according to the Associated Press, with which Associate Dean Husband, of Dartmouth, opened the congress held by the National Association of Deans in Chicago last month.
"It is all wrong to think of the college man as spending his summer vacations paddling a canoe, playing a ukulele on the beach or dancing in white pants to jazz music on a hotel veranda.
"Ninety per cent of the undergraduates spend their summers in shops and factories, law offices and banks. Some dress in overalls and work in' service stations or machine-shops. Others wear white aprons and dispense nut sundaes from marble fountains," Dean Husband continued. "They do this irrespective of the family wealth, and the richer their dads are, the more the sons are encouraged to get out and dig."
Prof. Husband told the delegates that a tew of the more fortunate travel in Europe or tour America in motor cars, but this was to be encouraged as it gave them a broader view of life.
"Sixty per cent of the freshmen," Dean Husband continued, speaking of Dartmouth, have formed a pretty good idea of the vocations they desire to enter after leaving college in June. Of these a few change their minds after trying out these occupations in their long vacations or after conversations with us."
