The Committee is recommending a trial period of five years because
the plan es somewhat new to us, and there exists some doubt about its
feasibility. The Dean of the College will be in a position to know how
the plan works. If it should contain flaws or prove undesirable, if it
should thwart too many students and raise difficulties which would injure
‘the College or the University, he would be the first one to hear about it
from both parents and students.

We further reconmend, therefore, that the Dean of the College be
charged with the responsibility of keeping in the closest possible touch
with the experiment, of making annual reports thereon to the Faculty, and
of recommending the eas alteration or abolishment of the plan should
it prove unfeasible or unwise.

The Committee in charge is urged to furnish students all the direc-
tion possible short of taking away from them the personal responsibility
and initiative which the plan proposes. In addition to the semester's
lectures it is suggested that provision be made for discussion groups to
meet immediately following the lectures or at other times. We also sug-
gest that, along with the reading lists, it might be well to furnish each
student with a list of the chief topics he should cover in his reading,

accompanied by a specific list of questions covering each topic.
