E. McKinney was elected to succeed himself as President." Dean McKinney reports a most interesting session and further states that he feels that this Association will ultimately become the most authoritative source on higher education of Negroes in America. NEGRO EDUCATION STUDIED SCIENTIFICALLY BY NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGIATE DEANS AND REGISTRARS Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March 12.—The National Association of Collegiate Deans and Registrars held its second annual meeting March 4th and 5th at Tuskegee Institute. More than 40 delegates attended, representing 36 schools, including both standard colleges and junior colleges. This represents nearly a 50% increase over last year in the number of schools sending delegates to the conference. According to the officials, it is the aim of this organization to study the problem of the internal administration of the Negro College, particularly as it relates to the work of the dean and registrar. To this end, it is understood that many research studies are being made and the various problems involved are being approached from a scientific viewpoint. The main topic for discussion at the meeting which has just closed was "The Freshman", the three main topic divisions being: Admission, Orientation, and Scholarship Standards, which were discussed respectively by Registrar S. H. Adams, of Johnson C. Smith University; Dean Ambrose Caliver, of Fisk; and Dean B. W. Doyle, of Paine College. Subtopics of these main divisions were: Reporting credits, evaluating credits, standardized forms, required entrance credits, the freshman's background, "Freshman Week", ■ majors and minors, extra-curricular activities. The subjects were ably discussed by Deans Thompson, Clement, Pearson, Florence Lanier, Sampson, Registrars Cade, Holloway, Gordon, and Doctor Phenix. A special feature of the program was an address by Dr. J. C. Stipe, of Emory University, on the Interrelations of the work of the Dean and Registrar. The entire Saturday morning session was taken up with this address and the discussions which followed. An interesting innovation which proved to be quite stimulating and helpful was the introduction of the question box. Registrar Wilkinson, of Howard University, was appointed chairman to. collect and present questions which anyone desired to have answered. Next year's program will have as its central topic Negro College Curricula. Professor Caliver was made chairman of the committee to receive suggestions and to study and devise a plan of procedure in approaching this vital subject. It is understood that this curricula study will attempt, first, to ascertain the social, economic, and educational background of those for whom the curricula is to be evolved; second, to briefly set forth certain desirable goals of those for whom the school exists; third, to correlate the aims and objectives of the curricula with the goals and background of the students; fourth, to state certain fundamental principles which should govern such a curricula study; and fifth, to collect and study all the available data on modern practices in curricula making. It was specifically pointed out that the findings of this committee would in no wise bind or obligate any school in the Association to adopt any suggestive curricula that might grow out of the study. This is a purely professional organization, it was said, and not legislative. The officers will remain the same as they were last year except that Professor Caliver was selected second vice-president. Dean T. E. McKinney, of A. and T. College, Greensboro, N. C, is president, and Dean B. W. Doyle, of Paine College, Augusta, Ga., is vice-president. The other officers are Dean It. 0. Lanier, A. and M. College, Tallahassee, Fla." secretary; Dean R. E. Clement, Livington College, Salisbury, N. C, and Registrar A. J. Neely, Tuskegee Institute, assistant secretaries. The next meeting will be held at Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee.
