Page Four COLLEGE ABOLISHES - CHEMISTRY COURSE I=l (Continued from page one) memory, reasoning, aesthetics, and humanity." An important recommendation of the student committee reads, "Any student regardless of his school, so long as he has fulfilled the pre-re quisites, should be permitted to take work in practice teaching under the auspices of this College." Feeling that present new courses and curricula are conceived to satisfy the . departmental and school ambi tions,.or to expand at the expense of other departments and schools, or to pre-empt a field before any other de partment, the central committee lists certain requirements for the pre-emp tion of new courses. New Courses Discussed New courses, according to the re port, should be offered only to supply subject matter needs and to make use of the instructor's knowledge to supply actual student needs in a-curriculimi, to satisfy legitimate demands of out side agencies, and to meet a service need. To make use of special know ledge of individual teachers was an other reason offered for the pre-emp tion of a new course. Recomthendations in the prelimin ary report for improvement on the teaching staff call for the employment of only experienced, intellectually ma ture and progressive teachers, and for the provision of adequate opportuni ties for the development of students of superior ability. Elimination of overlapping courses is suggested in various departments, while more flexibility is asked for the handling of small classes, such as sending students to other universities during a semester for specialization, and administering small classes on a reading-conference basis. Reduction of the teaching load to.twelve to fif teen hours a week is another sugges tion. Technical Schools Advised Technical schools are asked to avoid giving service courses which are ef fectively taught •by the service schools except where students with inad equate pre-requisities are served, where' the number of students does not justify a special course, when the technical school has better facilities, and when the service course is not designed for the use of technical stu dents. The report calls for a more definite statement concerning the educational policies of the institution, to be for mulated by the administration and kept before the members of the fac ulty: It also requests more adequate provision for vocational counseling and educational guidance. In touching upon the graduate courses the report recommends the organization of a gradute faculty with a definite graduate program, and sug gests the formulation of a system. Of selective ,achnisxion, to maintain . the standards of graduate study. — There were no recommendations concerning extra-curricular activities in the re port. Students Make Report Suggestions in the student report include the minimization of special ized work, and more freedom of choice of courses, revealing the desire for a More liberal education. The use of graduate students for fundamental courses is decried, with men of pro fessional rank suggested instead. Strictly- pre-professional courses, such as pre-legal, pre-medical, pre veterinary should be taught with the idea of general educational prepara tion, while less specialization is asked For the Convenience Of Our Readers CLASSIFIED ' ORDER BLANK.

Test bundles used were developed in the laboratory here, and these con sist of one to be washed with the white : fabrics, one with the colored, and one with the woolens and silks. After the test pieces have been wash ed in the laundry fifty times, various parts of each piece are tested for such things as standard whiteness, color fading, and percentage of soil re moval. A spectrophotometer is used to measure soil removal, color fading, and greying of white work, while the tensile strength is measured by means of a motor-driven tester. . .2 RECEIVE APPOINTMENTS Jay C.
