"LET THE OTHERS GO TO PODUNK COLLEGE"

We feel that the Dartmouth College Admissions Office sympathizes wholeheartedly with the following editorial of The MiddleburyCollege News Letter: "How far should the alumnus go in urging preparatory school leaders to attend his college? In the interests of the individual student, Professor Arthur J. Jones of the University of Pennsylvania, in his book entitled: "Principles of Guidance," calls a halt on the promiscuous bally-hoo program which is carried on by many college alumni boosters.

"We would have no quarrel with Professor Jones on this score for it is doubtless true that an intense loyalty to college or fraternity has often been responsible for misguided 'salesmanship' which has resulted in many unhappy misfits.

"There is a real place, however, for the enthusiastic alumnus in the field of guidance. Without his aid, the small college, which is surely best adapted to meet the needs of certain individuals, would soon pass out of the picture for the great publicity programs of the huge universities hold the attention of so many high school students as to leave the small colleges almost unnoticed were it not for that group of loyal and enthusiastic alumni who are constantly pointing out the enduring things which the small colleges offer their students.

"So we would say to Middlebury alumni: 'Whenever you think that your college can give them what they want or ought to have, send your best to Middlebury—and Podunk College or others nearer by, may have the rest.'"
