Carnegie Will Extend Grant To University

The Carnegie Corporation yesterday announced it would renew for two years its grant for Visiting Fellows in General Education at the University.

The program, in operation for three years, provides $25,000 a year to pay the salaries of three teachers from smaller colleges who teach in general education courses here.

Three other universities, Chicago, Columbia, and Yale, will also have similar grants renewed. Columbia also received a $50,000 grant to review present practices in general education at American universities.

The plan is intended, the Carnegie announcement said, to enable "smaller colleges to benefit from the pioneering, imaginative programs in general education at the four larger universities."

"We plan no changes in the present program," Philip H. Rhinelander '29, Chairman of the Committee on General Education, said yesterday. "We are very satisfied with it and, of course, are very glad to have the grant renewed."

The Educational Testing Service of Princeton, N.J., received $50,000 to explore methods of setting up an annual survey of American college applicants. The prospect of sharply increased enrollment in colleges was responsible for the grant, John W. Gardner, acting president of the Carnegie Corporation declared yesterday. "Data must be collected on an annual basis," he said, "and it should deal not only with sheer numbers of students, but also with their scholastic aptitude, achievement, and motivation."

Of the three visiting fellows here this year, Francis T. Bonner, of Brooklyn College, and Vaden W. Miles, of Wayne University, teach Natural Sciences. The third, Curtis Dahl, of Wheaton, is an instructor in Humanities 3.
