SINGLE-MAJOR SYSTEM



“ADOPTED BY FACULTY |



Old-Group System Replaced by orie
Major with Allied. Electives ;
Language Method Changed



LESS COMPOSITION © REQUIRED



The Faculty. has. yoted that hereafter a
system of a single major with allied sub-

__jects-is_to_be-substituted forthe group.sys-

‘tem,

Under this new plan at least 25-year hours
of the student’s course must be allotted to
the major and allied subjects. At least ten
of these hours must be ih first and second-
year work in the major subject. The remain-
- der of the 25 will pe divided between the
major and allied subjects under the advice
of the department in which the major work
is taken. Students of distinct promise, in
the opinion of the department, will be al-
lowed to carry advanced work in the major
subject beyond the first two years.

In many cases the working out of the
new system will be similar to or even iden-
tical with that of the old group system.
There will, however, be more concentration
in this part of the curriculum, in that 25
instead of 20 hours of the student’s course
must be give to one field’ of work. There
will also be greater flexibility, in that the
distribution and arrangement of hours in
the major and allied subject will be much
freer than in the group system. The em-
phasis willbe quite different. Instead of
two subjects of equal importance, one sub-
ject will be chosen by the student as her
chief interest. The allied subjects will be
considered subordinate and. supplementary
-to-her-work in -this-one main subject. .

All students now in college will have the
option of electing to work under the new
“system.

T’wo other changes in the curriculum have
also been voted by the Faculty :

Required’ English has been reduced to
eight hours ‘so that no second-year English
-composition will be given.

Elementary Spanish and Italian will be
abolished and a new minor course will be
_ substituted in each of: these languages. for

requisite,

Pseudo-Tolerance, Ferilous Pitfall
Lurks Behind Harmless Traits



Tolerance, intolerance, and pseudo-tol-}

erance were discussed and contrasted in
chapel last Sunday evening by Harriot
Hopkinson, ’26, Vice- President of the
Christian Association for next year. iS

Tolerance, she said, seems nowadays
to be considered as something innate, the
lack of which. is:a misfortune rather than
a fault. It is not quite so insulting to tell
people that they ‘are intolerant as to tell

But. more dangerous in. many ways is
pseudo-tolerance. It is not quite honest.
It is harder to discover because it exists
behind the masks of characteristics which
are often in themselves quite harmless:

perhaps the most easily confused with

|SELF-GOV. HOLDS FINAL
MEETING WITH OLD BOARD



Legislature System Voted, And the
Boards Achievement Reviewed
by H. Hough; ’25,. Retiring

PEM: W. HEADS CAMPUS. IN FINES



“The Self-Government Board has gone

through a liberal year,’ said Helen
Hough, '25, retiring President of the Self-
Government Association, speaking

chapel last Wednesday night. .

Miss Hough bore out her statement
by citing the adoption of the Self-Gov-
ernment Legislature, which was a ngw
experiment this year, and also by review-
ing amendments made to the rules regard-
ing student conduct.

The treasurer's report was read, show-
ing a balance’of two hundred and eleven
dollars to the credit of the Self-Govern-
ment Association. In receipts from fines
Pembroke West led the campus.

Separation of Graduate’ and Under-
graduate Self-Government was moved
and voted. Miss Shields said that the
ordinary business of Self-Government did
not. generally affect the Graduate mem-
bers, and in serious matters the associa-
tions could combine. 5

At the motion of F. Jay, ’26, it ‘was
voted that the constitution be amended
to read’ that the legislative power of the
association should rest with a legislature
made up of the executive board, the ad-
visory board, and the class presidents, and
two members from each class from each
hall. The experiment of the ‘last two
inonths is pow an amendment, adding the
class president is the one new feature.
The business is to be posted a week in
advance, and meetings, which will be
open, ‘may be called any time by the
president, or by application. The Self-
Government ‘Association, and’ the Under-
Graduate Association will call joint mass
ineetings. Some similar form of legislative
government has been widely adopted in the
last two years, Miss Hough said.

‘Following the meeting of the Self-Gov-
ernment. Association. en “Wednesday. eve-

£5 FOR AN EPITAPH



Epitaphis are the latest hobby of the Lon-
don Spectator. You can get £5 for a good
advance on Hefiry Ford, Jack Hobbs or
Albert Einstein; but most interesting are
the lines on the long dead. The Ape-man
of Taungs, whose fossilized skull was found
not long ago by Professor Raymond Dart,
called forth enough philosophic souvenirs
for all his family and fellows. For ex-
ample one finds:.
“Here lies, a prey to scientist and priest,
Of apes the greatest, of mankind the least,
Australopithecus, unmoved: to find
Llimself a proper study of mankind.”
A sniall boy of eleven enjoys writing these
moribund ditties. Master Mcllardy sent the
follow inge:
“Upon this knoll, ’neath Afric skies,
~ Poor Australopithecus lies. pe
‘By Ape-men mourned, the Ape-man. dies.
When Advent’s blush gives glad surprise,
And. Michael’s trump its summons cries,
Will Australopithecus rise ?”
In the opinion of the Spectator the best
epitaph was this neat statement of progress:
“Speechless, with half-human leer,
Lies a hidden monster here:
Yet here, read backwards, beauty lies,
And here the wisdom of the wise.”

Personally we are glad there are no mod-
ern Grays writing elegies on the “paths of
glory leading to the grave” and the “short
and simple annals” of the anthropoid.

jointed chapters reveal a powerful, observ-
ant and imaginative mind so wrought upon

terror that it is completely blinded to any

BIRTHDAY OF THE RED SHOES
AND THE BLUE GROTTO
Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘birthday,
April 2, was last week celebrated by the
New York Branch of the American Scan-
danavian Foundation, Gladly we remem-

Ber the man who filled intense hours of

childhood with the pjeasure and sorrow
of the adventures of the “Red Shoes” and
the “Wild Swans” and the “Bundle of
Matches.” These stories and others have.
their own immortality from their reflec-
tion of “that which is most elementary in
human nature.” As George Brandes has
said; “They depict that life which existed
in tHe first period of the human soul, and
thus reach that which lies deepest with
all peoples and in all lands.” (Creative
Spirits of the Nineteenth Century.) And
so the author is characteristic to a certain.
extent of the Romantic thought of his
Yearly nineteenth century“(he was born in

child in Denmark.”

Norman , Gani in Siren Land, has
pointed out that “to Andersen belongs: the
merit of drawing the attention of Europe
to the beauties” of the Blue Grotto, in
his “Improvisatore.” | “He sang the
praises of the Blue Grotto of Sicily to a
generation reeling with emotionalism.”
Working in Rome on this book of great
import, Andersen became a kind of part-
ner of Thackeray’s by .being (as Henry’
James put it) “incomparably’ benevolent to
a languid little girl.” This was Edith
Story for whom. Thackeray wrote The
Rose and the Ring. How much one
wishes that there were a picture of Ander-
sen, in all his incomparable benevolence;
to place beside Dickie Doyle’s illustration
for Locker’s poem on Thackeray's kind-
ness, where the great man reads to the
little invalid and St. Peter’s Cathedral
looks through the window! . os



“COME AND SEE” TRIPS



(Specially contributed by Mary Rodney,
"24, I. C. S. A. Fellow.)

, “Come and see” trips during spring vaca-
tion are to be regular events from now on,

tunate enough to be in Boston, New York
or Philadelphia,—and perhaps other cities
will be included by next year,—will have the
opportunity to visit on intimate terms any
of the family welfare, recreational, child
health or psychiatric work in these com-
munities. - This year there will be special
trips for people interested in particular in-
stitutions, in addition to a program of gen-
eral interest. Whatever you.may want most
to see, is yours for the asking.

Those that went on “Come and See” trips
this past week were most enthusiastic. It is

known. and unexplored elements of a com-
munity.

The remainder of this year there will
be some trips to Carson College and other
particularly interesting places, perhaps an-
other to Sleighton Farm. Watch for the
announcement and do sign up. for at least
one interesting afternoon.

Miss Shearer. es :
Miss Edna Shearer,”professor of Phil-

osophy at Smith, spoke in chapel Monday

morning on opportunities for women in

“If you are interested in a certain sub-
ject,” said Miss Shearer, “college teaching,
with the exception of being an independ-
ent student, provides the best opportunity
to pursue this interest.”

Colleges, according to Miss Shearer,
afford greater freedom to the teacher
than schools, This is partly due to the
fact that colleges aré free from many of
the rules and regulations which are neces-
sary to schools and to the fact that the

college teacher has a much greater oppor-

not become partisan or eccentric.”

- GERMAN STUDENT LIFE NOW
_ MORE STAID AND ATHLETIC



Less Specialization, ial Seeks On
Education Not Learning



Although it is far from my task or

intention to tell a fairy tale, allow me to

begin with a “There was once.’ Indeed,
there was once a care-free, joyous, over-
* joyous student life in Germany. Days and
nights and whole semesters of the first aca-
demic years of a German student passed as
an endless celebration of freedom, academic
freedom, and youth. The streets of the
small old university towns. like Tubingen,
Marburg, Heidelberg and. so many others

> echaeq-and_re-echoed-the—songs—about—stu-4

dents’ glory. The little windows of the small

‘houses reflected the flames of torch-light

processions in- honor of a learned scholar’s
jubilee or of the newly-elected rector mag-
nificus. Songs of the wandering students
greeted castles and ruins on the hills and
streams. The German student could, or be-.
lieved he could, afford those splendid years
of dolce far niente. It was not necessary for
him to. follow a, strict program, outlined for
him by the faculty, and attend lectures and
seminaries, at least not in the first ones of
his’ eight to ten semesters of\study. For- to
those who became members of student cor-
porations, by their own free will or by their
father’s will, who in his university days had
been a member of-the same corporation, it
seemed of far greater importance to attend



=

all the strictly codified activities of his cor-
4 poration, which pretty well filled up his days
and part of his nights too.

, These corporations are essentially pre-war
institutions. Their history goes in many
cases back to pre-Napoleonic times, and their
rules, often to a stranger of a ridiculous
strictness. arid pedantry, are everything else
than’ modern, before all their code of be-
havior towards their fellow-students and
towns-people and their @aboraté drinking
rules. Most conspicuous among them are
the “combating and color-wearing” corpor-
tions, the. so-called “Corps,” “Lansmann-
schaften,” “Burschenschaften,” “Turner-
schaften,” etc. which enumeration, by the
Way, indicates roughly what silly people in
more than one country call social standing.
Their members. wear many-colored caps and
ribbons—of—the—same—cotors—arotnd—their

selected members of corporations of the same
category. There is practically no danger for
the life of the combatants. They are pro-
tected by leather armors, bandages and
strong spectacles and expose only cheeks and
forehead to the long straight sword of the

These “color-students” claimed to be the
to look a bit condescendingly to the other
corporations which existed besides their own
and whose members and “varieties were, up
to 1914, and now again, as innumerable as
the States within the Holy Roman Empire.

Among , them are Christian fraternities, sing-

zations, groups of the youth movement as
the: “Wandervogel” (migrating birds) and
the big mass of the non-corporated students,
all of them much more in contact with real
life of the day and less tended to exercise
that fine but dangerous art in which so many
Germans are masters, i. ¢., of denying reality
somehow and speaking about “Realpolitik”
at the same time. Most of these corpora-
tions have,survived the war-time or have
been refounded since. *° Their number and
variety has even increased since the war.
Politics have entered the halls of every “al-
ma mater” where they were forbidden before,
and every party of some importance has its
student groups. ‘

’ War Ends Gaiety.

The war and its revolutionary ‘sequel put
an end to this rather care-free e€xistence.
The larger part of the: students returning
to the universities after the war service, »
in order to finish or begin ‘their studies, had
soon to learn that their parents could no
longer send the monthly allowance on which
to live. Fortunes and incomes were wiped
out by the depreciation of the mark. Need
rand even hunger showed their hideous faces
and forced many a gifted young ma‘ to give
up his academic plans. Those who stayed

to do it mostly by the work of their hands,
for there was a large over-supply of brain-
workers and in post-war Germany niental
work was badly paid. These hard necessi-
ties brought forth the werking studéht;~a
type long familiar in the Anglo-Saxon coun-
tries but unheard of in Germany, as in most
of the other Continental cquntries.

Rapidly founded organizations, often help-
ed by foreign funds, furnished employment
for students on the farms during the harvest
season, in factories and coal and potash
mines. Finally in the summer semester of
1922, 42 per cent. of the university students,
62 per cent. of those studying at technical
colleges and 88 per cent.’of the future min-
| ing engineers had become working students.

as their centre, opened: dining-rooms, work-
shops, sale-roors, loan banks and tried their
best to bring the working student through
these years of hardship, It is only too obvi-
ous that very often their help must fall short
in face of all the prevailing distress.

Signs of Reaction:

It is far too early to say that this awaken-
ing of the German student .to social con-
$ciousness is to become permanent. There
are indications enough of a relapse into
leading a sort of dream-existence from the
far from pleasant realities of today. There
are those, and many of them wear. the colored
caps, who long for the times of 1871-1914
the time of an exuberant materialism, ma-
terial wealth and external power; let us ca‘l
them the reactionaries for the shortness of
the term. There are, furthermore, those
who do not want reaction but conscious re-
version to the life and ‘socal order on a

purer plan as, they imagine, it existed in the

Middle Ages, when, as the German romantic

“Value for the Titure official arc judge;-who-mystic, Novalis, declared in his famous frag-

ment. Christianity and Europe, written in
1799, and often cited in these days, “spiritual
forces governed the European world, when
belief and love as the more beautiful blos-

soms of her youth hung over Europe which |

have since, alas, given room to the less finer
fruits which are knowledge and possession.”

A sociology of the German student life
would have to recognize that the cohesive
impulses within these two categories are
much stronger than in that big body in which
the general German student body is organiz-
ed today, the Deutsche Studentenschaft,
founded in 1919, a fact that cannot astonish
anybody who has some knowledge of the
pluralistic structure of our modern world
in which the old forces sie all the powers
of the strangling grip of «a doomed man
she Deutsche Stude settealigat is an attempt
of bringing together all students into one
big powerful body involving a declaration
of the autonomy and self-government of the

sphere goes, and under their own constitu-

even under the old regime, enjoyed a certain
autonomy and that there existed some sort
of special jurisdiction over students.

The main functions of the local commit-
Ktees are: representation of the whole
student body; chdrge of the academic self-
governing powers; participation in the
administration. of those university affairs
directly concerning the student body; aca-
dem‘c discipline and jurisdiction; advance-
ment of athletics; administration. of self-
help organizationss For part of these
activities special offices (Amter) have been
created, as for example ldw offices that
give judicial advice, offices that help the
newcomer to find a room, athletic and
employment offices, offices that buy and
sell bdoks at moderate prices, etc.
Athletics Growing

__Athletic activities have as yet never played
a large role in the German student's life. At
its last year’s national meeting, , however,
the Studentenschaft has resolved that evety
able-bodied student, foreign students again
exempted, has ‘to take part in athletics of
some kind. A little while ago the ministry
of education of one of the federal states,
following a resolution of the faculty and
the Studentenschaft of the University of
Jena, published a decree that after Oc-
tober 1, 1925, nobody will be allowed to
enter university examinations in this state
unless he can prove that he has actually
taken part in these activities...The pur-
pose of resolutions and decrees like these
may be duly deemed just as laudable as
the means to this eyd seem to us dubious;
this the tore because they endanger one
of the sacred and not altogether wrong
iraditions of German univergity life, that
of absolute freedom for the student ‘of
selecting his own courses and occupation
and shap:ng his own mode of life.
cannot but express the apprehension that
ths big enthusiasm for sports which
-characterizes- American university life and
wheh the visitor of this country for the
greater part admires, cannot be created
of coercion, but all decisions
like these are far from final and are ex-
press:ons of a good will for new forms
and activities. -
Science Emphasized

These changes within the student body
accompany an even more important
change of the whole structure of the Ger-
man university as an institute of learning.

extra-curriculum interests. In the middle

GENEVA, OR “THE TOUR
OF THE WORLD”
“At Geneva,” writes a French author, “one
can, in less than.two hours and at relatively
slight expense, accomplish the tour of the
world.” For this it is only necessary to be
present at a session of the Assembly ‘of
Nations.” Prior to 1920 Geneva and vicinity
were faforite haunts of American travelers.
The beautiful lake, the clear, crisp air, the
surrounding hills, Mont Blane in the. pink
glow of sunset, and certain historical connec-
tions—all these conspired to bring pilgrims
to Geneva in thé past. All these attributes
are still there. But something has been
added. The League of Nations has taken up

its abode in this famous city. «|
We cannot stop to consider all the conse-
quences of this momentous fact, to examine
the average increase in income of the Geneva
tradesmen since the League came to town, ar
to note in what proportions the tourist trade

at nearby Chamonix has. swelled: What we
know is that Geneva, for at least one
month: in the year, presumably “Septembet,
has become the most important. spat, in the
‘world, or at any rate-important enough to
warrant the strict attention of «all civilized
‘mankind, including both ‘supporters and op-
ponents of the League. To this ancient town
every fall flock from all parts of the globe
statesmen, politicians who are not statesm@n,
journalists, authors, students and sightseers.
As a spectacle plone this yaried gathering i$
well worth looking at. But for anyone who’
is something more than a gaping tourist
Geneva in September is far more than just
another great sight. It offers a broad and
fascinating experience to all who possess any
interest in international affairs, be their spe-
cial field politics, economics, medicine, educa-
tion,” mangers and customs, *or what-not.
And no group which comes to Geneva has
as fine a chance for development along these
many different lines as that composing the

+students-of cotlege-agefrom-—near-and_far.-

First of all, there is the League itself. The
Assembly, in which our French friend makes
the tour of the world within twice 60 min-
utes (in comparison with the famous 60
days of Jules Verne), is exceptionally in-
tresting, but after all it is only a small part
of the League. Heavier work is done in the
Council meetings, and the heaviest work of
all in the sessions of the special committees,
In addition the student of the League will -
find much to keep him occupied in investi-
gating the activities of the Secretariat, in
nosing about its immense library. on inter-
national affairs, and-in acquainting himself
with.the world-wide exertions of the Inter-
national Labor Bureau. <1

Some of the most absorbing experiences
of that month at Geneva, however, come
through channels which bear no official re-
lation to the League whatsoever, by means,.
fer instance, of the International Universi-
ties’ Federation for the League of Nations,
This Federation was founded a year or so
ago. to marshal together-in.one. international
body the student League organizations in
every part of the world and to win over,
through education, to the League. This

coming September it will hold its second an-
nual Congress at Geneva, from the 1st until
the 2ist of the month. As during last Sep-
tember, it will arrange for a series of talks
by many of the most prominent delegates to
the Assembly, by permanent experts ‘con-
nected with the Secretariat and the Labor
Bureau, and by visitors of note. Most valu-
able of all, in the writer’s opinion, will be
the 9A. M. lectures every morning by Prof.
Alfred: E. Zimmern, well known by many
Americans and all educated Europeans, who
will outline from day to day the work of
the Assemb!y and its committees. Last
year the talks were attended not only by
students proper, but by crowds of the older
generation who had come to Geneva for the
Assembly.» It-might be added, too, that:mem-
hers of the Universities’ Federation are
given the opportunity of mecting many of
these men. Last fall even Premiers Herriot
and MacDonald found time. ta.receive per-
sonally representatives of every country im
the A ie

It remains now to tell of the relation of the
students who come to Geneva among them-
selves, of how young men and women from |
many lands meet and mingle in friendship
and mutual understanding. Strely the value
of such contacts both in broadening the out-
look of the students themselves and in estab-
lishing the foundations of future interna-
tional peace, need not be argued here. There
are many places where “such meetings be-





v
o

tween the students of different nationalifies
have taken place in the past ;.Oxford, Cam-
bridge, Paris, Berlin, Rome and other cele-
brated University centres in ‘Europe. But
it is to be doubted ifsever before such op-
portugities have offered themselves for
gatherings of this sort as'in Geneva during
the vacation months and particularly in Sep-
tember. The activities of the Universities’
Federation in this respect are notable, Be-
sides the numerous social functions#%t ar-
| ranges for, such as téas, evening parties and
trips on the lake, is the miniature Assemb!y
which takés place during the first week of
the Congress. Here the same procedure is
followed as in the League Assembly. Com-
mittees examine special questions and report
back to the Assembly, which debates them,
but which usualy passes them. Last fall
America was officially represented _ in, this
‘Assembly by 10 college students,
«Closely connected in spirit, but not
tuality, with the Federation, is the Interna-
tional Students’ ‘Union, a most promising or-
ganization founded last September byxa New
York woman, to provide a meeting place
and headquarters for the hundreds of stu-
dents ‘who flock to, Geneva throughout the
year. The Federation, together with all
other student bodies of an_ international

character, has the use of this Union.’ The
European Student Relief, which, also makes
its headquarters, at Geneva, has already uti-
lized the Union; and it is hoped that such
organizations as the C, I. E. (Confederation
Internationale des Eutudiants). will find op-
portunity to do so in the future.- The Union
is situated: in a fine apartment overlooking
the University of Geneva.

But. the--typical American student will
probably not have journeyed to Europe to
spend the summer in serious study in one
spot. The significance of all [ have said is
that he can, if he so wishes, top off his

during this month of the League Assembly.
He can remain there even for the whole of
the first two weeks and still get back to the

stout-hearted, he can run over to Chamonix
and climb Mont Blane over Saturday and

a or if his doctors have convinced

him that his heart is weak, he can sail quiet-
ly down the Lake of Rousseau and Byron
to Chillgn, Lausanne, and other tempting
sites. At the same time, in Geneva itself,
he will be going through a fascinating ex-
perience and gaining the background for
future contributions on his own part to the
life of man,

NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES



Honors Course.

Fifty colleges from various middle west-.
ern colleges, from the University of Michi-
gan in the north to Centre College in the .
south, attended a two-day conference on the
honors course at lowa City, Iowa, March
20 and 21. Although no resolutions were
passed at the closing sessien, officials ex-—
pressed satisfaction at the favorable recep-
tion of the idea by the delegates. It was
generally corfteded that the idea would work
better in the small colleges-than in the large
universities. ral J

“We did not meet actually “to settle this
question but to get a consensus of opifion
from different colleges,” commented Dr,
Frank Aydelotte, president of Swarthmore,
in an interview. “The general opinion is
favorable to the adoption of some form of
the honors course, -and withowft. doubt it. |

‘could be applied to any college or univer-

sity,”

The honors / cayirse, in operation at
Swarthmore for three years, was described
in The New Student, March 14. The course
is given to college students of exceptional
ability during the junior and senior years.
