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

* which a knowledge of French will be a pre-

requisite,

TOLERANCE SHOULD EMBODY

Pseudo-Tolerance, Ferilous Pitfall
Lurks Behind Harmless Traits



Tolerance, intolerance, and pseudo-tol-}

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:

1. Lack of discrimination

2, Agreeableness

perhaps the most easily confused with

“The National Student: Forum,” he said,

main undertakings. -There is the New

SUMMIT OF ROMANTICISM SEEN

|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.

ernment. Association. en “Wednesday. eve-
