College Failur
That a third of the college failures
of today are the result of educa-
tional misadministration is the
contention of Professor Ben D.
Wood of Columbia. University'.
"When we consider the influence
this third has on the other two-
thirds in dragging standards of
scholarship downward the need
for an immediate and comprehen-
sive attack on the guidance prob-
lem is clcar." Educational effort is
being wasted and human energy
and happiness are. being sacrificed.
declared Prof. Wood. who calls at-
tention to the continuing high per-
centage of failures. semi-failures,
withdrawals for unknown causes and
transfers from one course of study
to another in our colleges and pro-
fessional schools.
These conditions, he pointed oilt.
are “a goal which forces us to the
disheartening admission that in our
zeal for teaching and educating we
have failed to meet our first obliga-
tion to the beneficiarise of our edu~
cational efforts." This first duty of
the educator, Prof. Wood holds. is
not to teach but to learn. to dis-
cover what he should try to learn
and how he may be moat efficacious-
iy helped to learn.
Prof. Wood disagrees with con-
clusions of low reliability reached
by President Lowell of Harvard.
who studied the records of about
2.000 graduates of the Harvard law
Professor Blames Third Of
es On Teachers
and medical schools who illld pre-
viously bccn graduatvd from Har-
vard college.
In order to check up on D
Lowell's findings the research staff
in the office of Dealt l-lcrbcrt E.
Hawker! of Columbia colicgc made
a study of 300 graduates of the ‘
Columbia Law school who had pre- ._
viously been graduated from Coluln.
bia college. "Those students." Prof.
Wood reported. “were divided into ‘»
groups just as in President Lowell's ‘
study., We found that all four ‘5
groups achieved exactly the same 1'
liverago grade. These findings inc f
dictate that there is no relation bee
tween collegiate subject matter and
professional school which may af-
ford ll. basis for professional gulli-
allce. However. in reality they
mean very little. if anything. The
groups of students compared are
such as would constitute approxi.
mately random samplings of stu. 5
dents, and the findings are not far 5
from what we should expect from ’
pure chance selections. But the
major weakness of both studies is
due to the character of cducutionai
measurements used."
Every study that has been
of college and professional school
grades. said Prof. Wood. has in-
variably indicatcd that they are ex-
ti‘emely subjective in all respects. of
unknown significance. of unpredict-
able variations in standards. and
of very low reliability.
