Duke Executive Addresses Staff Scholar-ItRe'earch-Stimuli Held Small College ‘Must’ By Hi5! Speaker

Mid - Twentieth Century society places a heavy responsibility! upon the small college for the develop ment of motivation toward scholar ship and research. Dr. Paid M. Gross, t ice pr< ident of 1 i 1 versity, said in an addrt at H den Sydney Coll r e Wednesday night. “The small colic;;-' is 11 the na tion's greatest hope in stimulating students to individual thinking and advanced study.” the visitor from Durham. N. C , told a 1 acuity- taff

dinner snthoring. He was introduced! by President Joseph C. Robert, ft: ’.r.erly assistant director of Duke's Graduate School. " Through the close, personal! teacher-student relationship that is I (dally adaptable in the small • college, inspiring professors have been shown to have led a propor tionately large number of students 1:1 > raduate study," Dr. Gross I. "Seventy Ph. D. candidates traced to the motivation of a in !e professor in a small college.

“A school does bot have to have a cyclotron or other expensive equipment to stimulate scholarship fan undergraduate at Oberlin suc ceeded in isolating certain chemi cals in a basement laboratory, be cause he was given the faculty en couragement." In national defense. Dr. Gross said, the United States is outnum bered in population and in compara tive armament level. "It is urgent that we develop a high level of technology to offset this difference, as modern war is conducted on a high technical level. The stimulating of more scholarship and research in small colleges is the answer to this vital challenge.* "In the small college it is not the quality of teaching alone that leads

to interest in advanced study—it is the developing of individual think ing. leading the student to weigh and question the material offered him and to strike out for himself to test its validity." The small college has a greater opportunity to provide for the ex ceptional student. Di Gross .'aid. as outstanding students aiv more quickly spotted in the smaller col lege. and an appreciative teacher may lead the gifted scholar into fields worthy of his abilities. "It would be the despair of the country." he concluded, "if we could not look to the small college to up hold our standards of building moti vation for scholarship and research to meet the demands of our increas ingly complex world.”
