IMPROVEMENT OF TEACHING

There will be further discussion at the
Faculty Meeting of the report of the
special committee on this subjecte It
is fitting that the entire faoulty is
giving serious thought to this topic,
for after all, the chief function of

the faculty is teaching, and a college
is only as good as its teacherse Many
people doubt whether teachers as a group
strive to improve their teaching tech-
niques and practicese Such skepticism
need not trouble us provided we, our-
selves, feel that we can improve our own
teaching and further, provided we are
consciously attempting to do soe It is
very evident that our best teachers are
continuously alert to the need of be-
coming better teacherse The teacher who
feels that his own teaching cannot be
improved has arrived at the time when he
should stop teachinge

BETTER ADVISING

The revort of the subcommittee which has
been studying this subject will be pro#-
sented at this Faculty meetinge For a
great many years, we have talked about
improving student advising and a great
many members of the faculty have worked
diligently at this important taske How-
ever, we have about arrived at the con=+
clusion that some definite changes
should be made in our advisory work if
we are to effect the kind of improve-
ment desirable. The faculty will be
interested in the discussion on this
topice

CURRICULUM COMMITTEE

After a good many meetings during the
school year, the Curriculum Committee
has come to a fair measure of agree=
ment on a number of proposals affect~+
ing the curriculume These agreements
are now in the hands of the depart
ments concerned for their study and
recommendations. Until this study has
been made, the Committee will have no
recommendations regarding major curric=
ular changese It is hoped, however
that such careful consideration will
have been given, both by the Curriculum
Committee and by the departments involved
in the proposals, that the faoulty will
be in pretty general agreement on the
final recommendationse
