Conant Calls Buggy-Busting More Fun Than Fish-Gulping

ATLANTA, Ga., April 17--Despite goldfish swallowing and phonograph-record eating activities, the college student of today is more serious than the undergraduate of pre-war days, President Conant observed today.

"I think the oldtime stunts, such as putting a cow in the chapel steeple or taking the president's buggy apart, were much more fun," he declared. "However, I think the college boys of today study harder . . . of course, the freedom of discussion and study given students can be carried too far, but I don not think it tends toward socialism. It is an important part of the educational process."

He remarked that the student of today has more contacts with the immediate problems of the world.
