Three other courses would be elected by the student from a larger group in which most existing college departments would be represented. None of these courses could be in the undergraduate's field of concentration, and only one could be in his area of study.

Electives satisfying the "General Education" requirement would be chosen from courses now in the curriculum to which would be added new courses designed to fill particular needs.

"Great Texts of Literature" is proposed as title for a compulsory course in the Area of Humanities. The fullest understanding and appreciation of eight or ten of the world's great books is set as the objective for this course.

The Area of the Social Sciences would require study in "Western Thought and Institutions." The main currents contributing to contemporary society are to be considered in terms of the intellectual and historical events which conditioned them.

Alternative Science Courses

Science and Mathematics would be satisfied, according to the Committee's proposal, either with a course in "Principles of Physical Science" or by one in "Principles of Biological Science." Neither of these would attempt to cover the range of technical detail encompassed by present introductory science courses, but would emphasize, the overall development of the science in terms of the history, philosophy, and documentation in the field. Scientific methods and techniques would be taught by detailed consideration of a few particular technical problems in the lectures and laboratory.

Responsibility for administering the "General Education" program would be vested in a faculty committee whose responsibilities would parallel those of a normal department of the University. The men selected would determine which current courses were satisfactory "general" courses and what new courses were demanded. In addition, the committee would have the normal routine duties of budget administration, accrediting students, and consideration of special student problems in a field the keynote of whose administration is to be flexibility.

English A is criticized for being too little "functional to the curriculum. The course emphasizes literary English or writing about English at the expense of integration of the techniques of composition with material studied in general courses. Absorption of the second half of the existing course into the required "General Education" courses, with a demand for frequent themes on the subject matter of the latter, is recommended as a remedy.

Finally the Committee examines the existing Tutorial system. Recognizing the great virtues of the scheme for them better students, the Report concludes that the time and money expended in making Tutorial available to all has not always been justified by results. Accordingly, the Committee recommended that Tutorial in the future be reserved for candidates for honors in their Junior or Seniors years, with occasional exceptions for particularly gifted Sophomores
