COLLEGE ENROLLMENT INCREASE OF PAST ; TEMPORARY, MURLIN (87 Associated Prut) BOSTON, Mass., April 7. When a libera! art collece'reaches an enrollment of 500 It ought to atop and organize a new college unit, with separate faculty, and a dean independent of the other, in the opinion of President Lemuel U. Murlln, of Boston University. His statement was made in connection with the action of sev eral colleges in limiting the number of -students. "My conception of the ideal liberal arts college is one hating a faculty of 50 and a student body of not more than 500." said President Murlln. "When the numbers exceed these the organization is too large, and it would be. better to divide into units. Separate colleges ought to be established, with separate faculties and deans acting independently of each other. "Such a development, which savors

somewhat of the English university system, will, in my opinion never become widespread in this country, however, although a few American universities are tending toward the

English tutorial system.

"This theory does not apply to the

colleges of commerce or business ad

ministration, which have , different

problems than do the liberal arts

colleges." Increases Were Temporary. The tendency toward great increas

es in student enrollment is practic

ally over, in President Murlin's

opinion.

'The interest of the college officials will focus on the entering class in the

fall of 1923," said President Murlln

"It is doubtful if the enrollment will

then show anything but the normal

increase. There will probably be a re

duction rather than an Increase in

the entering classes all over the country. "The abnormal increases in enrollment during the past three years have been duo to the delay caused in the education of hundreds of young men by the war, and the general prosperity. Then. too. the efficiency of the college graduate in the war has caused a widespread appreciation of the benefits of a college education. "It is improbable that the great increases will be sustained. I do not anticipate as large increases in the next three years as in the last three. The high peak of the rush to the colleges was reached in the fall of 1919, and we shall have to wait until this class graduates in 1923 to see what the normal student enrollments of the colleges will be in the future."

The Theatres j

At The Murray

"Bird of Paradise" Scene from "The Bird of Paradise" coming to the Murray Theatre Friday, April 8, matinee and night.

MURRAY It has become the belief In theatredom that whoever plays the title role in "The Bird of Paradise," Richard Walton Tally's romantic drama, of

Hawaii, which comes to the Murray

Friday, April 8, is almost certain to

attain theatrical fame. Bessie Barnscale, now a high-salaried screen star, created the part when the play was originally produced in Los Angeles, eight years ago. For the New York premier, Lauretta Taylor was chosen as the unfortunate princess. Her success in "The Bird of Paradise" led to her engagement in "Peg o My Heart." She is today one of America's leading actresses. Then came Lenore Ulric, whose Interpretation of the role won her fame and recognition, which proved to be the turning point in her career. David Belasco obtained her services after seeing her perform in this part. Then followed Carlotta Monterey. Next came May Buckley, the well known stock actress. She was followed by Starr, who is now in the Antipodes. ..urn Hutchins who next appeared as the Hawaiian priness, now has a lucrative contract with a Los Angeles motion picture company. Florence Rockwell, the present portrayer, has played the role for three years and in her brilliant career has supported Robert Mantell, Henry Miller. Guy Bates Post and other notable stars. MURRETTE . Never before has.Douglas Fairbanks waxed so enthusiastic over the success and admiration of a picture than he has over "The Mark of Zorro," his fourth United Artists production

which is the feature attraction at the Murrette Theatre. The story is an adaptation ot Johnston McCulley novel, "The Curse of Caplatrano," which appeared In the "All Story Weekly" magaxlne. . Those critics who have viewed "The Mark of Zorro" have proclaimed that Fairbanks has excelled any of his previous performances. . This is due to some extent to the Ingenious story and the opportunities afforded "Doug" to make the greatest use ot his athletic ability.

MOVIE CENSORSHIP RAPPED AT CAPITAL INDIANAPOLIS, vlnd., April 7. Effort to establish censorship of motion pictures In Indiana were condemned and the work of the indOrsers of pictures was approved by speakers at the luncheon of the Indiana IndOrsers of Photoplays in the Riley room of the Claypool hotel Wednesday noon. The principal talks were given by Miss Louisa Connolly, educational expert of the Newark, N. J., public library and museum, and Robert G. Tucker, dramatic editor of The Star. "When in doubt, give liberty," urged Miss Connolly, in discussing the question of "Indorsement Versus Censership." She scored censorship-as an

infringement on personal liberty and as anti-American. She told of the deep-seated belief In liberty of action and speech that she possessed and decried the fact that to many of the present generation a monarchy would be an acceptable form of government In this country. . Public Beat Judge. The public is the best judge of whether a film or a play is good or bad, Mr. Tucker said, and it can censor the offerings by refusing to patronize them. It has been his experience, he declared, that the public will not patronize a poor picture or an inferior play. He referred humorously to the idea of having different ages of pictures as an educational medium, starting with Charles Chaplin for the little tots and ending with Mae Murray and Theda Bara for the grown-ups.
