‘B—12 # COLLEGES BLION DRIVE INDORSED American ‘Association, Which Would Be Fund Agency, Ends Meeting. A plan to raise at least a billion dol- lars to be spent for the benefit of col- leges of liberal arts was indorsed by the Association of American Colleges at the closing meeting of the associa- tion yesterday at the Willard Hotel. The plan was included in the report of the resolutions committee, which was adopted as a whole by the organization, and would set up the association as the agency for projecting the campaign and guiding it. “‘Because of the extent and impor- tance of the proposal,” the committee said, “it appears impossible for the asso- ciation in the limited time at its dis- posal to give the matter as full con- sideration as it requires. We recom- mend, therefore, that it be referred to | :h? executive committee of the associa- ion.” Another resolution to approve a na- tional survey of institutions engaged in training teachers was indorsed, this resclution adding that the association stands ready to ald the survey in anv way that may be sugrested by the com- missioner of education. The association adopted another reso- lution recommending that it request the Bureau of Education to collect and compile separately information concern- ing liberal arts colleges and appoint a committee of three to co-operate with the bureau in carrying the recommen- tion. into effect. Twenty colleges were admitted to membership in the asso- ciation, among them Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, Va., which was represented by John A. Lejeune, until lately commandant of the Marine Corps, and Hollins College of Hollins, Va. ADVICE TO EDUCATORS. College and university presidents should write for themselves a will, a “goal of personal achievement.” and then attempt to fulfill that will, Dr. Charles G. Doney, president of Willam- ette University, Salem, Oreg., told dele- gates to the Education Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church at a dinner tendered them last night at American University. Dr. Doney, who was formerly pastor of Hamline M. E. Church of this city, warned the presidents assembled there from all parts of the country that col- lege executives often “do not continue (200 National Officers, Direc- | to ripen, because they think they are already ripe—they refuse to go forward because of their timidity” and, like hunters. he said. they sometimes ran out of ammunition. Compliments American U. The presiding officer, Dr. Arlo Brown, president of Drew University, praised the develcpment of American Uni- versity during the past 20 years as “nothing short of marvelous,” paying | tribute especially to Bishop John W.| Hamilton, former chancellor, and Dr. Lucius C. Clark, present chancellor. In his welcome address Dr. Clark ex- plained American University was dif- ferent from the other Methodist in- stitutions, as it was chartered by Con- gress and is responsible to and con- trolled by no Methodist Conference. ‘The dinner was attended by about 100 presidents, chancellors executives of Methodist from various parts of the country. A musical program was presented by | the Girls’ Glee Club, under direction of Dr. Harold M. Dudley: the College Or- chestra, under direction of Dr. C.
