THE COLLEGE BULLETIN

April 6, 1936.

 

NEW DISTRIBUTION REGULATIONS

This number of the Bulletin is devoted chiefly to information on
Faculty action regarding the new group system. The fourth page embodies
a proposal of the Rules Committee of a somewhat more convenient grouping
of College subjects than that in the report of the Committee on the
Revision of the Group System. Note that the word "Division" has been
substituted for "Group"-+a change which the Rules Committee is also
suggesting.

Instructors are asked to preserve this issue of the Bulletin for

the Faculty meeting and for the study which will be necessary before
we all become familiar with the details of the new arrangement.
