Abstract:
Scholarship or activities? The older generation frequently complains that this is the question confronting college students today. Along with the here-to-fore sole channel of attention- scholarship-there exists a wide strait of intense interest- activities. Some of the critics argue that the purpose for which the college was established is being thwarted. Others contend that the dual offering in the college provides a more life-like situation. For the "promoter" activities are provided; for the real student the goal is scholastic honors. The constructive critics believe that the two interests can be combined. "Whate prominent educators seek is a well rounded type of studet--'a sound mind in a sound body'.." They point out many examples of those who take advantage of both opportunites. Thus the question is debated.
