Although there is not tutorial in the field, the faculty members are as a rule willing and anxious to help, both during class and out of it. It was the opinion of some of the concentrators, however, that the adviser system could be improved, that some of the adviser were not well enough informed about the rest of the College.
In view of the fact that the concentrators do not receive tutorial, it has been suggested that they should be allowed to take a fifth course without incurring the extra course fee. Ambitious students feel that they should not be financially penalized for doing extra work, and many find a fifth course not too burdensome.
Most of the courses require daily work, but as a pleasant consequence little review is required for exams. Most of the concentrators feel that the regular work in colege has a beneficial effect in work after graduation. Long asisgnments, however, with the exception of some laboratory reports, are both rare and unnecessary.
Possible concentrators who have had no Physics B Freshman year in order to get into course C, and Math A is required for admittance into Math 2. Many other courses outside the field are suggested, including Chemistry A for all men. Geology, Economics and Fine Arts are recommended depending on the student's line of interest.
Since Mathematics 2 is required for all concentrators, it was felt that one section at least should emphasize problems and practical work, (Huntington is a good engineer) so that the course may be of some use in later engineering courses. Some sections now are almost worthless from an engineering standpoint. Closer cooperation between the Engineering Sciences and Mathematics departments should solve this difficulty.
The courses in general prove to, be both valuable and well given, with a few exceptions. Since the material of the course is graphic and not ideological, the personality of the instructor does not affect the student, and courses may be judged by their titles, although lecturers vary in the esprit de vivre with which they explain things.
