Dartmouth Undergraduate Daily Blasts Boring Courses, Mossgrown Cut System

In accordance with its avowed editorial policy of "croaking, and croaking loud about the soggy spots in the cake of College life . . ." the daily Dartmouth, Indian undergraduate newspaper, inaugurated an attack on Dartmouth academic conditions Tuesday.

An editorial, calling for a "swift kick to knock the dust out of Dartmouth's baggy green pants," described most Dartmouth men as having an entirely wrong conception of the purposes of a college education. This "infantilism" or "googooism" is the result of a faculty which "lives in a vacuum and grinds out lectures like so many rusty phonographs."

Harder Curriculum Demanded

Teachers are criticized for not attempting to make their courses as interesting and stimulating as they might be. Grow-faculty disinterestedness. The Darting student apathy can be traced to this mouth summarizes the undergraduate attitude to studies as a "game the object of which is to see how little you can make the teacher think you are capable of leaning."

Cut System Motheaten

Cutting rules are another evil attacked by the Dartmouth. The existing cut system is said to "take the student's mind off his purpose in coming to college, and relegates intellectual responsibility to the dean's office."

The editorial hastens to assert its admiration of the College as a whole, however, terming it "the best college we've ever been to, and we don't wish we were anywhere else. While we're here enjoying it . . . as individual students, as a newspaper, we'll be chiefly interested in what's wrong with it."
