Bickham gave a most interesting talk on "College Communities and Student Character." There are about one thousand such communiti.es iri the country and this year, approximately one million students are enrolled.

Leadc·s. and leadership naturally come from these institutions of higher education and their inAuence on the. culture of the nation is very great. Dr. Bickham briefly outlined the three culture movements found in our colleges. Puritan culture originating in such sc hools as Harvard and Yale, tidewater culture, coming from pioneer communities, and continental culture from ]·,urope. College life produce s · culture conAicts. The problem is to get the best from all these cultures. Dr. Bickham's advice to parents is to keep cl ose to their children, so they may. respect their love and counsel, to help them understand the proce ss of life, . and to prepare them for the problems th ey must face in living in a college community where the influ ence of their different activities is felt.
