It it a time When he discovers his associates* catches some idea of the What IS . Con^ Education,' During this time he ought to learn how to approach a] problem, how to analyze it, and how to i^st its truth. “Four yeairs of college should give to the student ai larger tolerance, an awak ened “curiositjy,” a knowledge of how to acceptance of integrity of atest of human endow- FEBRUARY 8, 1950 THIS MAY BE IT I ' 0 h for enlightenment. work, and a: mind as the ments.”* For us, “What IS a ; / j it answers the question, allege Education?” j 1 picture industry which sets and molds the opinion of Peppy’s Worry Over Our Morals Representative R.
