Dr. Sproul's contention would be justifiable if education of its students were the only function of a college. More than teaching by giving them an understanding of the world and its people, a college is primarily a social institution and secondarily an educational institution. It is, moreover, a much better place in which to learn of society than is the world at' large or some. trade in particular, in which one often learns by experience before fe is ready for the lesson. The purpose of a college education is to prepare one for the practical lessons of later life. There are students who can benefit both socially and educationally by. higher education, but democratic education demands that colleges be open not only to these students, but also to those who can benefit socially only.

FRANCIS ADDRESSES SOCIOLOGY STUDENTS That a revolution would have occurred if the government had not offered the people aid during the present economic crisis was stressed by Frank Francis of the Standard Examiner in a talk before Weber sociology students February 14. He stated that adversity is more beneficial uthan prosperity in that it builds character, works for the betterment of the nation, and consequently brings greater happiness. He praised the new transients' home, opened February 16, as an example of Ogden's participation in the "Social Revolution."
