Dr. Simmons Believes Students Here
Capable of Honors Course System
Perm Stale students are just as
capable of assuming the responsibil
ities of an honors course system as
students in other colleges, in the opin
ion of Dr. Lueretia V. T. Simmons,
head of the German department.
“An honors course is good for those
students of initiative and knowledge
who know exactly what they want,”
said Dr. Simmons. “It creates a
sense of scholarly responsibility and
a sharpened critical sense, and the in
creased contact with the professor is
especially beneficial.” V
Dr. Simmons pointed out that a
committee to suggest a method for
honors courses in the School of Lib
eral Arts was appointed in April,
1926, and was composed of Dr. Way
land F. Dunaway, of the history de
partment, Prof. Jabir Shibli,. of the
mathematics department, and herself.
A report was submitted but was later
revised by a second committee con
sisting of Dr. Carl W. Hasck, head of
the economics department, Dr. Fran
cis J. Tschan, of the history depart-

Letters have' been sent to faculty
members requesting them to speak at
the meetings. Members from the var
ious houses will then choose topics and
speakers and make arrangements for
the time of the fireside sessions.

mont, and Dr. Simmons.-' 1
After considering thq final , report
in January, 1928, the. Liberal ; Arts
faculty decided not to'vote for--any
definite regulations at'that. timey.but
to leave it optional with each depart
ment to try out the idea, Dr. Simmons
said. Since that time,. however, no
honors courses have been instituted
in the School of Liberal Arts.'
Under the arrangement proposed at
that time, the professor would-give to
students Sleeting an honors course a
synopsis of study to work out for the.
year. The student would then inves-'
tigatc the problem in all of.its ramifi
cations, and would confer weekly with
the professor. He' might attend, other
classes to get material he needed; and
at the end of the semester he would
take a comprehensive examination.
“One disadvantage of the plan - is
that it would call for double adminis
tration, since individual conferences'
■would be necessary,”. Dr. Simmons'
added. “If some professors are;dele
gated to honors course work, they;will
have to be released from other,duties.”

has to he a different kind of
tobacco from that ' used in
cigarettes..-.and it has to be
made by an entirely different
process ...
OUT in Kentucky, where they have
pretty women, fast, horses, and
blue grass, there grows a tobacco called
White Burley. It doesn’t grow anywhere
else in the world.
There is a type of this White Burley
that is best suited for pipe smoking. It
is neither too thick nor too thin. It is
not light and chaffy; at the same time,
it is not rank or strong.' "U. S. Type
3i” is the government - classification
for White Burley.
Since no other pipe, tobacco has yet
been found which seems to equal While
Burley, this is what we use in making
Granger Bough Cut.
. Next, we use the Wellman Method,
a famous 1870 method of. making pipe
tobacco, to give Granger, its fine flavor
and fragrance. Then, too. Granger is
"Rough Cut”— just like they used to
"whittle” their, tobacco'off a plug with
a jack-knife. It smokes cool,.'lasts longer
and never gums a pipe.
And finally, we want to sell Grange?
for 10 cents. Good tobacco—right pro-
right. So .we put Granger in
a sensible soft-foil ])ouch instead of an
expensive package,laaowing that a man'
can’t smoke die'package. x
Granger has not .been 'on sale very
long; but it has "grown to be a popular
smoke. Folks seem to like it. • ....
