As these institutions grew in size, smaller units. having unified ideals and purposes, were formed within the universities. Societies such as these have been the training— school for men like Webster, masters in their chosen fields, and hundreds of others Who in smaller spheres have wielded influence for good through their daily associations with one another.

Show moreEXTRA—CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES WSW NE hears a great deal about extra-curricular activities and their supposed interference with the education of the student. Although there are pos— sibilities that harm may result from misuse of them, it is quite clear that the advantage lies with the activities, The argument is commonly heard that the outside activities take up too much of the student's time to permit him to do his class work properly. It can be admitted that in some cases, this is true, but they are the eXCeptions. A person may fail to prepare an occasional lesson, or even a series of lessons, because of outside work, but usually this disadvantage is overcome by greater alertness and application. Surveys have been conducted by authentic authorities in education to determine the effect of the activities upon classwork. The suprising fact has been proved, that in average cases the grades Were high or low in direct proportion to the number of outside activities the student was engaged in. This is because it is the energetic person with great capacity and enthusiasm that undertakes the extra work. The sluggard is useless in or out of class. The primary purpose of any school is instruction and training, and it would be ridiculous to suppose that one should belittle the importance of classroom work, with high standards of attendance, preparation, and results. The point is that the student Will gain, in addition, general knowledge, ex— perience, and background outside of class that will stand him in good stead when he meets occasions and situations. This should not be over-emphasized. but it should by no means be neglected. Here at Augsburg We have considerable opportunity for outside activities. some developed and some undeveloped. Let us make a plea for greater participa— tion by the students, each in his own chosen field, athletics, music, literature, journalism, class activities, forensics, or whatever it may be. If these and others are properly developed, they will add greatly to the versatility and general ability of our students and graduates. It would be a good thing if the graduates and alumni would use their influence to build up enthusiasm in prospective students concerning the possibilities of rich and varied experience at school, and so encourage the development of this important part of student life.
