The discu
oing
the newspapers and magazines show I
conclusively that the college and uni
versity authorities, not only in the
South, but throughout the other sec
tions of the country as well, are
keenly alive to the very pressing
problem of what to do with college
Freshmen. Almoifl without excep
tion, those who are acutely confront
ed with this problem agree that its
solution lies in the establishment of
well equipped and fully accredited
Junior colleges.
Dr. Glenn Frank of the University
of Wisconsin recently stated that
his University would seek to eliminate
it* Freshman and Sophomore classes
as /toon as possible.
Yale University is proposing to
erect on its campus a second rollegc
where its Freshmen and Sophomores
may be properly taken care of. Dr.
Cox of Emory University, to bring
the matter nearer home, has insisted
so strongly for the removal of Fresh
men and Sophomores from the Uni
versity campus, that provisions have
already been made to establish a
Junior college at Oxford and another
at Valdosta.
The problem is a twofold one. In
the first place, the institutions at
present have no room to accomodate
the increasing number of student*
knocking at their doors for entrance,
and in the second place, even if they
had the room, they have not the
teaching force, and even if they had
and the teaching force, it

state could establish here a Junior

vantages of an institution of this
character to the people of this sec

In addition to other advantages,
the dominating one would be the op

costs at present to attend the first

favorable conditions for the young
