Vrogrrss is the keynote of education in America. The University of Id aho prides
it elf in the fact that it has heen able to keep step \\ ith the leaders. r n 1929 another
definite move forward \\aS taken by the establi hment of a University Junior
College, the fir t in any tate university. Its program embraces the work done
heretofore in the first t \\ o years of the College of Letters and Science, the School
of Business Administration, and the School of Education. Into this college go all
freshmen and sophomores intending to take up these lines of work, as well as those
who are undecided as to their future vocations.
The University Junior College proposes to do two thing : to give a trong
foundation in general education for those who do not intend to take more than
two year of college work, and to furnish to all candidates for the non-technical
degrees a broad and liberal foundation for any curriculum which they may wish to
follow in the senior colleges. For both student and state the plan is practical and
economical.
The success with which the plan has met in its first year is due in large part to
the efforts of the chairman of the Administrative Council of the college. Dean
J. G. Eldridge, serving hil:i twenty-ninth year at Idaho, is progres ·ive, far-sighted
and invaluable.
