THE HARVARD COURSE.
That of the University to Be Reduced and
Other Changes Made.

other Changes Made.
BosToN, Jan. 1f-At the meeting of the
Board of Harvard Oyerseers a vote was
taken on the recommendation Of President
Eliot to the Faculty that the course of the
University be reduced from IS to 16, which.
alter rather exciting discussion for so dig
nIhed body, was carried by vote of "a to
y. The majority, arguing for the reduction,
say that whether IS or 10 are required, the
Faculty really decides on the actual
amount Of work in the end by making the
courses hard or easy. Better work, it is
argued, can be done. The reasons given by
the majority for thus voting is that: First.
the average age of the Harvard freshmen
10, Is too TOO high; second, Harvard
graduates thus get their professional degree
too late, at from . to 2634 years of age 4;
third, 1t will help the graduate school bv
stimulation to extra eXeriion; fourth the
secondary fitting schools are doing so much
more than formerly that the student is bet
ter able 10 shorten his college work fifth.
the only alternative is the more serious pro-
posaI OF counting certain courses for the
a. b. and the professional degree. 1t will
nnally help to open the doors of the college
to many now prevented from entering. The
minority of the faculty, in stating their rea-
sons Tor opposing the proposal to reduce the
college course, urge a! their strongest objec-
nOn to the plan that they believe IL will in
evnaDly lower the standard OF the college
education and degrade the Bachelors De-
gree.
Majority and minority reports from the
faculty OF Harva were made tn the over
seefs To-day on the question of reducing the
coneee Term to three years. Twenty-four
were In favor of the change anu twenty
eight opposed H. ''
