President and Dean Attend Conferences of College Administrators Women's colleges throughout the Unit ed States can contribute most to the 100 per cent victory effort and to national defense by maintaining their present cur riculum, designed to train young women for leadership, and by introducing short, intensive defense courses, according to army and government officials who spoke at the national conference of College and University Administrators, in Balti more, Jan. 2-4. Sister Mary Justitia, B.V.M., President of the College, and Sister Mary Bernar da,, B.V.M., Dean, attended the confer ence and the conventions of the Associa tion of American Colleges and of the American Association of Church Related colleges held concurrently in Baltimore. Retain Summer Vacation Although many universities for men are adopting the drastic measure of run ning on a year-round schedule in order to speed the students to graduation in three instead of four years, the colleges for women arc advised to retain their existing eight-semester, four-year plan. At the conference of Church Related colleges a committee was appointed to draw up a course of study for post-war days, not with a view to altering the char acter of any institution, hut rather to em phasize those aspects of liberal arts train ing which will be most useful in estab lishing world peace when the war is won. Need College Graduates Stressing the need for women students to continue their college training rather than to abandon school for immediate technical work, the educators and army officials pointed out that there is already in the nation a need for teachers in all departments, for dietitians, for laboratory technicians, for journalists, economists, linguists, and social workers. This need, they believe, will increase as the war con tinues to draft men into service. Special commendation of the con tribution made by Catholic colleges for women was voiced by Professor George N. Schuster, of Hunter college, who de clared that convent-trained college women have the poise, the balance, and the calm resourcefulness requisite for women lead ers in a national crisis, and that colleges must return to the old system of teaching self-control, self-discipline, and sacrifice.
