Vale to Eliminate Exams at Mid-Term Next Fall Other Schools to Follow Suit in Emphasizing Finals
New Haven, Comm.—(NSEFA)—This year's mid-term examinations will the last to be given at Yale University, according to an announcement recently by Chance W. Mordrell, dean of Yale life sciences, co-director of the faculty and the Yale record.
Beginning next fall a student will be required to complete successfully each previous year's work before enrolling for another term. Failure in any year will necessitate a student taking an exam in the fall previous to matriculating.
Students beginning next fall may take only five courses and at the end of the year will receive an examination of their studies. In addition, fifth of the students' time, and each final will require from three to five weeks of weekend study, with a week-long reading periods during the year, one before each examination period, and another before the place of the customary mid-term tests.
Aubury College, Wilmore, Ky., is an institution to adopt a new syatem of instruction. The syatem will be arranged and all classes will meet regularly through the usual examinations. Students will own their own semester quiz, and those who do not desire to give final will not.
American University, Washington D.C., has initiated a new method of grade designation called graded given only a passing or failing designation. The change was made recently in the hope that students will place more effort and knowledge and ability to think rather than on grades. Classroom grades on examinations and written work will be either graded or
Another institution in which student sentiment against the usual grading scheme is expressed through alege, Calif., where the campus newspaper and student leaders are leading a movement against the practice. A college professor asks students to live a life carries the spirit of the reaction, "College students do not have to be told that they should study more. College students do not need to study or not depend upon themselves. Admittedly, each student is after the greatest amount of learning which can be done. Students study and educate himself in his own way. Let us call a hait to the herding people and educate rooms each with a different mark."

The Kansas yesterday erroneously quoted Coach Brutus Hamilton, as saying that Frank Pete "Pete" Bauch was the coach of the shot 52 feet. Bauch, who made the heavie of 52 feet 4½ inches in practice Saturday, is the fifth person to make a throw of over 52 feet. His field of vision record with a throw of 52 feet 11 inches.
If a girl can do 10 yards in 13 seconds, marry her, is the advice of a professor at Northwestern.
Projection of the Great Ice-cap into Kansas
Geologists have long asserted that the great ice-cep that came down from the north pole some 20,000 years ago, crossed the Arctic Ocean and central north America, reached as far as the Kaw river and no further.
Investigations by Prof. W. H. Schowe, associate professor of geology at Idaho, established that the extreme advance of the ice should be placed some eight or ten miles further to the south, along a front from the ocean.
The evidence upon which Professor Schwehe haes his conclusions are fourfold: (1) errants, (2) true till deposits, (3) reworked till deposits, (4) glazes.

Professor Schoeve discovered that the erratas, consisting of boulders of granite, micas, shales and limestones were widespread. The wide aerial distribution of the boulders had previously been accounted for as being outwash deposits. However, Professor Schoeve said that it would be impossible for these pebbles to cover so extensive territory if they were outwash deposits.

The big problem in Topeka is the oil output. In Lawrence it's the liquor intake.
He also found that the errations are just as numerous south of the mapped area, which was then used this with the fact that there is no sorting or separation of large and small errors.
Campus Comment
The presence of glacial strikes several miles east of Eudora and located south of the mapped glacial border, is a proof of the greatest extent of the ice.
This article appeared in a recent issue of the Journal of Geology.
Another bit of evidence that Professor Schoewe has is the finding of two true till deposits, unassorted masses of till partially reworked by rain and growth, were widely scathed through, north and south of the mapped glacial border.

Diminishes the Din of Steel Construction to a Whisper
Development of General Electric are welding has largely been the work of college-trained men. Others of the college men at General Electric are largely responsible for the high reputation won by hundreds of G-E products used in industry and in the home during the last thirty-seven years.
Arc welding is being used more and more in the fabrication of buildings and machinery, the construction of pipe lines and tanks, and as a repair tool of universal utility.
