prospective college students to the 18th an nual acquaintance day at ub last friday afternoon in hayes auditorium approximately 625 high-school stu dents who anticipate entering college next fall attended there is no room for that kind of thing continued the chancellor the main duty of a college is the work carried on in the class rooms and libraries the business of a university is to present these intellectual opportuni ties but the university never makes the student take advantage of what the university offers dr capen pointed out that this does not preclude participating in other things which are not part of the curriculum this university has a wide range of such opportunities said dr capen i it seems clear to me from the evidence that we gather that it is more im portant now than ever be fore for young people who have the capacity to acquire what we call a higher edu cation those who do hot take advantage of the oppor tunity to acquire such an education will be at a-great disadvantage and handicap the chancellor pointed out that today's high school student will be in competi tion with the 2 million plus service personnel in college now and that in itself puts l a higher premium on getting advanced training than ever before alfred szymanski pres ident of the student union presided at the general as sembly and introduced chan cellor capen following the assembly
