Students of all ages freely mix studies, jobs’
Broader-based graduate edu
cation is in the offing with stu
dents of all ages freely mixing
their studies and jobs in new
learning environments, said
Dr. Boyd Page, president of the
United States Council of
Graduate Schools in Friday’s
commencement address.
Page commented on changes
he foresees within the next 15
years at exercises for approxi
mately half of the record 2,074
students receiving degrees this
weekend, including 80 doctoral
and 304 master’s degree reci
pients.
Dr. Page said too much em
phasis in graduate education has
been placed on narrow speciali
zation and development of spe
cial skills.
“This is not to criticize,” he v
Stressed. “It was the direction in
which greatest individual re
wards could be obtained and
was a clear response to the
stated needs of society as well as
the aspirations of individuals. ”
He said societal change has
now outstripped the capacity for
accommodation, with the result
being that serious imbalances
exist.
“There will continue to be
need for high specialization in
some disciplines,” noted Dr.
Page, who was graduate dean
and dean of the college at
TAMU during the late 1950’s,
“but what will be needed by
many students is a more adapt
able graduate experience, help-

Austin borrows
2 tons of liberty
A bit of Aggieland goes on display
in the State Capitol today.
The two-ton Liberty Bell replica
that has dominated the rotunda of
the Academic Building for a
quarter-century has been temporar
ily moved to Austin as part of the
state’s observance of the nation’s
bicentennial.
TAMU officials emphasize the
bell is strictly on loan and will be
returned to its traditional location
following the year-long celebration
of the nation’s 200th anniversary.
Texas National Guard Col. James
Starr, was given the responsibility
of transporting the bell from Col
lege Station to Austin. He dis
patched a National Guard truck to
pick up the bell and take it to Camp
M abry for an overnight stay before
moving it into the west wing of the
capital Wednesday morning.
The move was arranged by the
American Revolution Bicentennial
Commission of Texas in cooperation
with the Savings Bond Division of
the U. S. Treasury Department.
The Treasury Department had 52
of the full-scale replicas struck in
1950 and presented one to each
state plus the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico.
All the other Liberty Bell replicas
were placed in the states’ capitals^
but then-Texas Gov. Allan Shivers
presented Texas’ bell to Texas A&M
in recognition of its 75th anniver
sary and the role of its former stu
dents in the service of their country.

germane and what is superflu

He said continual resident in
struction will probably be li
mited largely to undergraduate
students.
“Post baccalaureate students
of all ages will move freely into
and out of graduate programs,
mixing on-the-job experience or
self-directed study with ses
sions of intensive study, fre
quently in satellite centers near
the student’s home,” he pre
dicted. “Society will support
the training in resident status of
the few highly qualified stu
dents in specialty areas of basic-
research and learning on the
basis of perceived national
need.”
He said competent profes
sionals will be heavily relied on
for service on faculties both on
and off campus, with many gain
ing faculty appointment.
Dr. Page speculated that in
the future much learning will be
derived from “stand-alone” in
stitutes, industry-centered
schools and educational enter
prises or on the basis of self-
directed study.
“The university will, I be
lieve, be thrust into the key role
for credentialing of students
who can present evidences of
competency, however de
rived,” he explained.
Formal training for advanced
degrees may come to represent
a much smaller total activity
than non-degree continuing
education which will be widely
available to the public at large,
he added.
Dr. Page foresees fewer uni
versities in the future as a result
of consolidation or broadening
of the organizational base.
