Counsel for the Union and New Haven Trust Co., which was made temporary receiver, requesated a con- tinuance on the general, ground that an audit of the Parker-Smith Co. had not been completed. The hearing was to have been held for the purpose of confirming {the appointment of the Trust com pany as temporary receiver. Judge Arthur F.

ON GELEGE {Higher Schooling to Teach Student to Think for Himself Chicago, June 11 (»—Dr. Robert M. Hutchins, dean of the law school of Yale university, who will be- come, next September, the youngest president of a large university in this country, outlined today his educa- tional belief before this year's gradu- ating class at the University of Chi- cago. Dr. Hutchins delivered the convocation address. He will be- comes president of the university at the opening of the fall term. Would Widen Horizons After deploring the belief that 1youth’s mind should be settled and hardened to staid ideas and preju- dices, Dr. Hutchins said: “My view of university training is to unsettle the minds of young men, to widen their horizons, to inflame their intellects. It is not a harden- ing, or setting process. Education is not to teach men facts, theories or llaws: it is not to reform them, or amuse them, or to make them ex- | pert technicians in any field: it is to teach them to think. 1o think straight if possible: but to think al- ways for themselves.” Dr. Hutchins attacked parents who pamper their children, allowing jthem to go along relying on them- selves. Dr. Hutchins advised voung per- sons contemplating entering college “to know the fellows” and to get a diploma “because it is the open se- same into the company of persons who matter,” to join their local country club or fraternal organiza- tion. - Praises Club Iden “These bodies have high ideals.” he said. “they are organizations for mutual impy;vement. Their dues are lower than “hose pf most colleges. You get to know the fellows in one. It would seem plausible to suppose that one can get from them most of the things one gets at the university, if one goes to the university because it is the thing to do.
