Mr. Harnish states hQW much research must be done in- order to' achieve the desired results and some of the methods by which this goal may be reached.

ASEE·NFS Sends Mission 10 USSR The fO'llO'wing is the report on the investigatiO'n recently made by U. S. educators in the U.S,S.R. The trip was sponsored by the American SO'ciety [or Engineering EducatiO'n and the NatiO'nal Science FO'undation. This report seems to' indicate that if the American student is to' compete with the Russian student, he will have to work hard at it. AlthO'ugh the United States has no desire to emUlate Russia in regimentatiO'n and discriminative selection, rigor of U.S, cUT1'icula must meet that oi Russia, and the academic attitude of students must meet that of U.S.S.R. students if U.S. engineers and scientists are to compete with U,S.S.R. in future years,
