Definite statements from the three largest undergraduate courses yesterday indicated that frequenters of the cram parlors will be at a disadvantage in the coming final examinations.

The three courses, History 1, Government 1, and Economics A, are also the principal sources of tutoring school revenue according to the recent CRIMSON poll. Official representatives of the courses outlined a program of definite obstacles to undermine the reliance on tutoring schools.

Ease of Detecting Tutoring

History I in a statement last night emphasized its policy of "discounting loose generalizations and vague formulae." In an attack on canned answers the statement said, "Pre-digested material, steadily recurring in a set of blue-books, is not difficult to detect, and a deliberate effort to deal with it will be made."

Harold H. Burbank, David A. Wells Professor of Political Economy and Chairman of the Division of History, Government and Economics speaking in regard to Economics A noted that under the system of small sections, instructors are aware of tutoring activity of the individuals.

Will Not Raise Standard

Three times in the past, the C standard has been raised, but Professor Burbank said that this method would not be used, this year because it also strikes at non-tutoring students.

General comprehension and original interpretation will be the criteria determining students' final grade in Economics A. The personal contact between instructor and student, and the examination questions will be directed towards this end. Professor Burbank pointed out the futility of tutoring and the "inadequacy" of prepared notes.

Attacking the tutoring schools, Arthur N. Holcombe, professor of Government, said last night that the examinations, as made out by a staff committee, were especially designed to favor the student who does his own work.

The elementary Economics and History courses have further discouraged tutoring by calling in lecture and reading notes during the past months.
