De

Should there be a field for methods courses to which the
special methods courses could be assigned?

Should enrollment in the courses in “Special Fields of
Study" under each main field be limited to graduate stu-

‘dents or should they be open to undergraduates as at pre-

sent?

What is the purpose of prerequisites? Should they be
made more definite and specific to prepare students to
hendlé a given course properly or should they be general
as at present, ("the fundamentals group", “15 hours of
Education.")? Should experience in teaching be accept-
ed in lie of course prerequisites? If so, how much
should be required? |

Should new courses be set up to cover some of the items
now listed under special fields of study?

Should there be a change from the present uniform two-
hour courses to courses of two, three and five hours in
order to permit the arrangement of better programs for

graduate students? If so, what should these courses be?

Should the present plan of four introductory courses in
each main field be continued or should the number be de-
termined by the needs of our students, the scope of our
program in each area, and the relative importance of
each area in our set-up?

Please give these matters your careful consideration and

send in your suggestions in the next week or ten days. Put them in
writing if possible or see a member of the committee. We hope that
this whole matter may be freely discussed at a faculty meeting in the
near futures :

Sincerely yours,
