THINKS RELIGIOUS AND RACIAL DISCRIMINATION SHOULD BE RESTRICTED

President C. C. Little of Maine University, speaking at the Liberal Club last night, declared emphatically that a new system of entrance examinations for college should be evolved, and that an attempt should be made to find out something about the personal characteristics of each candidate for admission.

In discussing the limiting of the number of students in the universities, President Little argued that a liberal point of view, which he defined as the middle course between conservatism and radicalism, should be taken. Pointing out that different institutions have different problems he declared that "sectarian colleges and universities most certainly have the right to exclude all but members of their races and believers in their creeds. Non-sectarian institutions, however, do not possess this right. While the position of the former is doubtless the more comfortable; that of the latter is probably less cramped".

After discussing the large number of failures in colleges and universities President Little said, "There are a certain number of places in a college and these, should be filled in the best possible manner. Three aspects should be taken into consideration when admitting an individual into a college: first, the inherent qualities of the individual; secondly, the progress made in utilizing these qualities; and, finally the latent ability still in the possession of the individual". In closing President Little suggested that college graduates throughout the country should examine all candidates on these three points alone.
