jor, and the new honors work to be dore
in connection with that course. The an-
nouncement was not made earlier because

riculum Committee of the factilty had

The honors awarded for this type of
work: are given on the.basis of a com-

of the Senior year. The purpose of this
examination is to. test the amount and
breadth of reading done by the individual
duringthe course of her “honors” work.
In connection™-with the present system
very few people do any kind of intensive
reading on one subject; and ‘it-is prac-
tically. impassible to get a thorough back-
ground.
Specific Plans.

The-plan, as it will be worked out next
year, is to.teke-up from: eight to twelve
periods of history, throughout the year,
and tq do. concentrated reading on each

in@’® with the instructor «each week, and
~ there will be group diseiission of each of
the topics.

_A second plan is to combine the. above
system with some much*more intensive
work,--In-this-way,-each student, work-
ing with an instructor, would cover one
topic each. semester... This would bea
small scale plan of the research. work
done for the Master’s Degree.

As a rule this type of work will, be
done chifly by Seniors. However, Dr.

reason why, advanced Juniors should not

be allowed to do-the saine type of thing.

The arrangement is rather experimental,

at best, and it will undoubtedly be

changed about from year to year.
Credit for Courses.

Each ystudent who goes in for work
under this plan will probably take.a two-
or three-hour advanced course, .and do
individual work for which she will get
two hours’. credit. In other words, the
honors work will generally count as a
five-hour block. It. will be possible, how-
ever, to take only the three-hour course,
which will prepare especially for the
June examination; the other work will
be advantageous. largely because of the
experience and thé practicé,in reasearch.

Dr. Gray went on to say that our Post
Major courses correspond.pretty closely,
even now, to “the kind of honors work
which. is-done-in most-other- colleges; the

is the fact of an instructor working with
a small group of ‘students.
