Bull Pens Among
Fish Sponsored
Somewhat of a supervised “Bull-
Pen” of Freshmen and chosen up
perclassmen was begun recently un
der the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.
The discussions are scheduled over
the entire campus on each Tuesday
night, at which time such topics are
discussed as, “What are we in col
lege for,” “The mistakes of college
life,” and, “what should a student
get out of four years in college?”
The discussions are held for, and
by the freshmen in every case, but
to help out in any complex problems
which might arise, the Freshmen
in each military organization desig
nated some outstanding man on the
campus whom they desire to meet
with them and take part in the dis
cussion. The meetings are held in
some convenient place in the various
dormitories where plenty of fresh air
is available.
The sole purpose of the plan is to
promote sound thinking among fresh
man and to help them solve some
of the problems that naturally arise
after the jump from high school to
college.
At the close of the discussions
groups which are scheduled for about
ten weeks it is most likely that a
banquet will be given to all fresh
men who attend at least nine of the
meetings.
Parents of 57 striking high school
pupils, have opened a school for
their youngsters in a church rather
than allow their children to icross
several railroad tracks daily going
to and from a new school building
to which they have been assigned by
educational authoi’ities.

NOW TO BE MAJOR
Several New Courses Also to be Add
ed to Curriculum.
At the request of the Department
of Physical Education, and in re

College, the general faculty has ap
proved a number of new courses in

the session 1930-31 and thereafter.
These courses will be made the basis
for a major in Physical Education,
given in the general curriculum in
Liberal Arts, and leading to the de
gree of Bachelor of Arts.
Following is the revised list of
courses in physical education:
Physical Education 203-204 (2-4),

School Physical Education; Physical
Education 311-312 (3-2), Fundamen
tals of Athletic Coaching; Physical
Education 401-402 (3-2), Theory and
Practice of Athletic Coaching; Phy
sical Education 403-404 (3-0), Organ
ization and Administration of Phy

he will be assisted by other members
of the Department.
Detailed information regarding the
major in physical education may be
secured from Mr. Penberthy or from

SIR VEY MADE
OF 100 LEADERS
Interesting Facts About 100 Promi
nent Business Mon Revealed.
College halls seem to have a de
cided edge on the little red school-
house as a training ground for indus
trial leadership, according to facts
just compiled by The Sherman Corpo
ration, engineers. The careers of one
hundred men who direct the destinies
of many of the richest industrial cor
porations in the United States were
studied, as presumably being typical
of the careers of executives in places
of large leadership. Only 122 received
a formal education limited by the
walls of the red schoolhouse. Four
teen went on to secondary school but
did not go to college. Sixty-four at
tended college and three out of the
64 took advanced degrees.
The study was made in connection
with the Sherman Corpoi*ation’s re
searches into the present trend to
ward merger, after these merger re
searches had seemed to indicate that
management leadership is the factor
of limitation in merger successes.
Only 4 of the group are of foreign
birth. Twenty-nine per cent are of
rural origin. Forty per cent were born
in cities of over 100,000 population.
Seventy-one per cent originated in
communities of 5,000 population and
over.
The ages of the men studied indi
cate that from 50 to 70 are the years
when large leadership capacities
come to fruition. Only two men of the
group are in the 30-40 year decade;
further age grouping being- by dec
ades—40-50, 13 men; 50-60, 34 men;
60-70, 35 men; 70-80, 14 men; and
over 80 years of age, 2 men.
An analysis of first jobs indicates
that white collar beginnings just a-
bout break even with “blue shirt” be
ginnings. The largest number, in any
one class of first jobs, is represented
by clerking. One out of ten of the
men rose in a direct line, that is their
positions today are the direct results
of humble beginnings in the same
company or in an allied line. Law and
teaching have contributed several
leaders to industry, according to the
study.
