Freshmen Barred
From Campus;
Policy Continues
The Board of Trustees of the
College has decided to continue
for at least - another year its pre
sent policy, relative to admission
of freshmen to the campus, Presi
dent Ralph Dorn Hetzel announc
ed today.
“This policy,” Dr. Hetzel said,
"requires, all freshmen, without
exception, to take their first
year’s, work at one of the institu
tions now cooperating with the
College or at on e of the credit
class centers operated by the Col
lege.”
The trustees considered care
fully the request- that freshmen
who ar e residents of the State Col
lege area be exempted from this
•policy, Dr., Hetzel explained. No
exceptions were possible, he said, 1
for three reasons:
1. All sophomores coming to
the oampus in September, 1947,
will be required to remove their
freshmen academic deficiencies
'during* the 1947 Summer Session.
So-called repeat sections of fresh
man subjects virtually will be
eliminated from the Fall time
table because:.
. 2. The advancement of a large
sopliomore class into specialized
upper-class courses - will mean
mor e professional subjects to- be
taught in smaller sections. Com
menting, on this,- Dr.',Hetzel said,
“Our faculty- simply cannot
handle thes e additional courses
and the" freshman subjects as
well.”
