As a tutor who formerly studied under the tutorial system, I feel that this system is decidedly beneficial to one who intends to continue with graduate work, and that its benefits are in direct proportion to the time and effort which a student devotes to it. It appears to me that the only ones who do not benefit from tutorial instruction are those who do either no work, or an irreducible minimum. I do not believe that the sanctions on tutorial work, such as the general examinations, should be increased. Rather should the student be lead to enjoy this work, and to develop his own initiative along the lines of his special interest.
I suggest the following reforms in tutorial work:
1. Assuming that the University continues to put as large a proportion of its resources in tutorial work as previously, that less time be given to men who do not respond and more time to those who do respond.
2. A reduction of course requirements to twelve so that tutorial work will not be merely an addition.
3. The evolution of a prominent staff of tutors who divide their time between research, tutorial work, and course work. We are tending in this direction.
Less time should be devoted to course work and more to tutorial. Fewer required courses and few course theses would strengthen the tutorial system.
All students below group V should be denied the tutorial privileges.
