DIR Proves
Great Help
To Students
Although the two-year experi
mental period of the College De
partment of Intermediate Regis
tration has not yet ended, it has
been extremely successful so far,
according to Dr. H. K. Wilson, its
director.
This was brought out at a panel
discussion of ‘‘Scholarship and the
Delinquent Student” held at a
meeting of the American Associa
tion of University Professors Wed
nesday night.
The DIR got under way here
last summer to help students con
fused in the choice of a curricu
lum and those receiving low
grades. All students receiving an
average of .5 or lower are auto
matically placed in this depart
ment, which cooperates with all
schools of the College through an
advisory committee consisting of
representatives from each of the
schools. Two semesters in the DIR
are allowed. By the end of that
time the student must gain admit
tance to one of the regular schools
of the College.
99 Successful
Smce the beginning of the fall
semester, 99 students have suc
cessfully transferred from the
DIR to other schools, while 86
have been dropped, according to
Dr. Wilson.
The chief reasons for most
failures have been the choice of
the wrong curriculum and inabil
ity to read and study. Aptitude
tests and remedial courses have
been employed by the DIR to help
remedy these faults.
