PHONE 343 COMMITTEE MAY CHANGE SYSTEM THE PRESENT METHOD OF CHOOSING SUBJECTS IN NEED OF REFORM. RECORDS TO GOVERN ACTION Prof. Stafford Offers Sugges tion as to Procedure. Com mittee Undecided as to Com pulsory Subjects. "The four-year courses of the stu dents of the last four classes that have been graduated were, on the whole, broad and judiciously select ed,” said Dr. W. P. Boynton, chair man of the committee that has been deliberating on a probable change in the method of the student’s electing of courses. The committee has compiled a chart of statistics giving the number of hours during the four years taken by every student that has been grad uated during the last four years. On this chart the subject hours are grouped under three heads or de partments—Modern Languages, the Humanities (Social Science, Lietra ture, History, Economics, etc.), and the Sciences. The well-chosen course, says Dr. Boynton, should con tain subjects from all three of these departments. The study of this chart reveals the fact that the large percentage of students have selected their subjects so as to have them distributed throughout the three departments, though a few have selected narrow courses, confining their studies often to one department. "Our idea is,” explained Boynton, "that, as David Starr Jordan says, ‘a student should know something about a lot of things and a lot about some thing.’ ” The members of the committee are still undecided as to whether they will favor the group system of elect ing studies, making compulsory cer tain subjects that are related to the major subject or whether they will vote to retain the present system that gives the student freedom in his electing. They are studying, however, the results of the past records of stu dents in the University in an effort to reach a conclusion concerning the possible need of a change. Prof. Stafford believes that a vo cational system should be Included In any new plan adopted. “Studies might well be arranged in courses so as to be suggestive to the student in regard to a vocation. Stu dents who are, upon coming to col lege, undecided as to a vocation, would then have assistance in making their decision. Such a system would be possible under the present or any plan of regulating'elective courses. The number of cases which might be covered would be Infinite."

Mr. Farrell, it is said, has a sym pathetic interest in medical educa tion. While he realizes that it is more the province of the large edu cational "foundations and private in dividuals than of” public serVice Cor porations to support educational in stitutions, in this Instance the rail road company happened to own land that is an attractive college site and seriously considered the request that it be donated, when urged by” Dr. Mackenzie. The medical department, which is rapidly becoming an important unit of the State University, is located at present in an old wooden structure on Twenty-third street, opposite the Good Samaritan Hospital. It has occupied these quarters for 22 years, and is badly cramped for room. President Judson of the Universi ty of Chicago is soon to leave for the Orient. He made his last ap pearance before the Seniors, Satur day, when he attended a luncheon given in his honor. * Visit The CARNATION SHINING PARLORS An Up-to-Date Place for Ladies and Gentlemen 978 WILLAMETTE ST.
