43~-—Plean for Honors Work,

for the Supgrior Student in the Callege, The suggestions that follow
are not an integral part ef that planj. but are added partly as a comment on
the plan and partly as supplementing it,

1. The Committee recommends that some form of diploma designation be
adopted for the honors students, e.8.,

Honors in Mathematics
General honors and henors in Msthemeatics

és, The problem ef Litrary facilities ie a serious one,

3. Some cost weuld be inourred in the publication of bibliographies for
the use of honors students.

4, The most serious obstacle to success of the plan is the extra burden
placed upon teaching, Allewance would have te be made in tenching schedules
for this purpose, It is recommended that for 4 time, at least, the

number of candidates be rigidly restricted.

5. Special courses (e,8., Zero English, Engineering English 2d, etc.)
are given to assist the inferior student, It is suggested that certain
upper-class lecture and discussion courses might be set apart for the
Superior Student alone. It would probably be necessary in some cases
to excuse such courses from the quantitative measure.(10 for Sr,-Jr,
classes) and-no department could afford many of these. But if some of
thesc courses could be of the sort generally sought after, it would give
a real motive for high scholarship, They would not be designed for
honors studentsj The intention would be rather to exclude the inferior
student (below 1,5 perhans). Sectioning of large courses according to
previous attainment is another possibility. Still other special plans
might be inaugurated in particular departments,
