Professor K. B. Murdock '16 will have charge of English A next year during the absence of Professor Bliss Perry, Hon. '25, English A, which was formerly under the direction of Professor J. T. Murray '99 has been, during the present year, under the supervision of Professor Perry. Next year Professor Perry will be away on his Sabbatical, during which time, he will make a tour Sabbatical, during which time, he will make a tour of Europe.
English A, during the past year under Professor Perry has been an experiment. Several innovations were instituted at the beginning of the year, and for the second semester, a completely new plan of conducting the course was tried.
Next year, in accordance with the recent decision of the English Department to allow all Freshmen getting 70 per cent or higher in their Comprehensive English examination to omit English A, the enrollment of the course will be diminished by more than one third. This will undoubtedly somewhat change the nature of the course.
