A Serious Student's Letter to her Mama Aliss Geraldine Towsend, one of the speakers at the American College Club Tiffin, speaking of the demand on all sides that the cultural college shall in-Woduce definite utilitarian courses, said that some colleges stand for the old academic ideal rather than for the new vocational plan; some offer both academic and vocational courses; some refuse 1? set down the academic bars and seek to train for life rather than for the particular job. No one can say to what extent the vocational tendency will go, but a humorous possiblily is expressed in this letter supposedly written by student of 1930 to her mother.
