YALE HONOR PLAN DEFERRED
Much Opposition to President Had1ey s
English System of Studies.

New Haven. May 2s.-After prolonged
discussion. the plan of President Hadley of
Yale TO adopt the English honor and class
system of studies has encountered an adj
verse informal vote. and has gone over 10
the next college year.
In his annual report at the last Yale
commencement, President Hadley favored
such a system, suggesting also that at the
end of the freshman year students of high
standing seeking honors should be enrolled
as honor men and receive certain exenip-
tiens In classroom attendance. The new
plan IVES favored by the professors of the
faculty who make up the committee on
courses, but 1t has met with strong resist
ance among the assistant professors.
If adopted the English honor and class
system will involve the radical readjust-
ment of the present elective system
