...Chairman of the Harvard Endowment Fund Committee o "Why Harvard Needs Additional Endowment." Dr. Roger I Lee '02 writes his views on compulsory athletics for Freshmen, and G. A. Brownell '19 tells of the need' and advantages of the new Union. There are also articles by Professor R. K. Hack and R. C. Rand '19, as well as book-reviews and poetry...
...first number of the Advocate is, on the whole, of real interest. The editorials are clear and sensible; and the remarks on the comparative failure of Harvard to develop an internal democratic spirit are worth the attention of the whole College. The two outstanding contributions are those of Professor Hack and Mr. R. C. Rand. In reality, they are complementary; for they both constitute a needed protest against that evasion of initiative which is regretably characteristic of the present era in the American college. On most of Mr. Lamont's effective plea for the Endowment Fund I am estopped from...
...assistant professors were also created by the Overseers at their last meeting. Roy Kenneth Hack was made Assistant Professor of Classics and Edward Burlingame Hill '94, Assistant Professor of Music. Assistant Professor Hack received his A.B. from Williams in 1905 and for the next four years was Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, taking the degree of B.Litt. from that university in 1909. Assistant Professor Hill was graduated from the University with a summa cum laude degree in music. He studied the pianoforte the following year with Lang, and, the year after, composition with Bullard. In Paris he was a pupil...
...Hack is not in sympathy with the present education system. "Education has during the last century become more and more a drill to produce power; but we must make of it a path to freedom and self-control." "The weak point is that we have relied upon instruction to produce educated men." Particularly are American universities and lower schools scored. Mr. Hack has not been yellow in giving his opinions. In spite of his severe charges, however, he is hopeful. "Freedom and self-control must be won by each man for himself;. . . . . hereafter the chief emphasis will be placed upon...
...only commend Mr. Hack's opinions. The tendency to cram for examinations, to haggle over marks, to amass information relative to nothing other than the mer possession of it, are all symptoms of an educational disease that this writer sees clearly. But whether we agree with Mr. Hack's constructive ideas or not, it is great relief to find in his work a fearless bidding to Mr. Flexner and his opponents to stop their howling. The world is tired of fighting over terms. If there are faults with modern education, negative criticism alone will not go far toward curing them...
