Ths proposition which Is soon to be
placed before the Board Of 0verseers Of
Harvard Cniversity for their final de-
cision, on reducing the time necessarily
required for graduation from college
from four years to three, Is one which
will raise something Of controversy
among leading educators. The adoption
Of this plan means the lowering Of the
requirements Of admission, which seems
. radical step for Harvard to take mas
much " 1t has heretofore always been her
boast that her standard Of requirements
has always been the highest Of that Of
any American College. tits understood
that President Eliot strongly favors the
three years course. But then 1t will be
remembered tina: some eight or ten years
ago President Eliot surprised the friends
Of liberal education by coming out boldly
10 favor Of the new education as taught
Ut the so called industrial or technical
colleges As against the old scholastic In
tstitutions. The chief argument In
favor Of the change Is that 1t gives the
young graduate an opportunity to get
at business or profession year earlier
than he would under the old curriculum
"a saving Of time which In this busy.
pushing age means good deal. The
plan will surely meet with opposition
from the Board Of Overseers, and
we do not believe they are yet pre-
pared, Notwithstanding the pressure Of
the younger element, to take any action
which will give Harvard lesser stand
ing than she now maintains among the
great American universities.
