Prof. Andrew W. Phillips has re-
signed from his professorship in the
college and from his deanship of the
graduate school at Yale University.
The resignation will take effect at the
end OF the present college year. Prof.
Hans Oertel has been appointed dean
of the graduate school to succeed Pro-
fessor Phillips. Professor Oertel was
born in Germany and received his ear
ly training there. He came to Yale
and took his doctors degree In 1890.
He has been connected with the Ya:e
faculty since 1891.
Another interesting investigation of
an academic problem has been made
at Yale University. Statistics have
been compiled to show the value and
effect of mid-year and final examina-
tions. ACCORDING to the returns, sucn
examinations unfavorably affect the
term-rating of 40 per cent of the stu
dents; they raise the standing of "a
per cent, and the marks of the other
Il per cent are not changed.
In languages and history, ratings are
enhanced by examinations; in all 9TH
er subjects. notably mathematics, they
are reduced. Fifty-one instructors fa-
yJr exams" on the ground of review;
twenty-nine, for ''comprehensive
v ew of the subject; twenty-one, for
their basis of marking; sixteen, for
their effect on daily work; and few.
for tie necessity of quick thinking.
In an address before the students of
the university of Wisconsin recently,
Chancellor Kirkland of Vanderbilt
University advocated the idea of one
central university for upper-classmen
and graduate Students and having the
freshmen and sophomoreS at smaller
state colleges. He urges this plan only
for the larger schools. He said that
Wisconsin VII confront the problem
first, since II has about 5000 students
and is growing larger every year |
Chancellor Kirkland said in part:
THE time will come when Wiscou-
sin will have net 5000 but 10000 stu
dents attending the university. Ii is |
to give so large a body |
proper instruction. 1t is too large to
remain a unit and the individual
would be lost in the crowd.
IN order to remedy this, the univer-
;ity will have to be broken up into
smaller units. This cleavage will be
.ither vertically into departments of
engineering, medicine. agriculture, or
into classes. II is ma-i-
esoly impossible to give instruction to
$1,000 students at one university.
,elieve that the solution will be to dis
ribute the freshmen and scphomores
!mong s. afler colleges. while the uni
-ersity be maintained for the upper
lassn,en."
President Van Hise Of the universi-
y said that the increasing demand TO.
.igher education makes it extremely
that the university can ev-
r consider the proposal to have the
University discontinue giving first and
econd year work and leaving this
,art of the college course to the nor
nal schools and colleges of the state.
