Further Investigation Revealed
Too Much Specialization

While other colleges have deprecated
the fact that their elective system had
resulted in an undue scattering of a
students work among a large variety
of Introductory courses, the results of
every investigation into the Wellesley
curriculum Eave shown that students
specialized perhaps too much. From
time to time requirements have been
adopted whose purpose has been to
correct this tendency on the whole.
however, the results OF these investi-
cations have shown that the curricu-
lum was more satisfactory than was
supposed, and any proposals to change.
while enthusiastically considered at
first, Eave heretofore been abandoned
after careful consideration.
In December. 1917, a committee was
appointed by the trustees consisting
of three trustees and Ave members of
the academic council. with the presi-
dent of the college as chairman. to
make a survey of the curriculum of
the college, including the requirements
for admission and for a degree. TIE
work of this committee resulted i'm
bringing TO a focus in the academic
council growing conviction that
some changes In the curriculum should
he adopted. During the last two years.
therefore, the discussion of the cur
riculum las been going on in the
academic council. As heretofore in
vcstigations into the electives of the
last two or three classes have in
creased the respect OF the council for
the curriculum as II is to-day These
discussions have resulted in certain
changes of which I shall speak later
but which on the whole are not radical
except in one particular.

TT is not easy to determine exactly
where the boundary lies between
the cultural or the liberal educa-
ton and the practical or vocational.
Yet we should attempt to place that
boundary before proceeding to discuss
the questions that have been asked of
us as to the contrasting advantages of
each. am sure. however, that we can
all agree that at least a certain amount
of the one is necessary for the exist
ence of the other, for the most special
lied applied science. upon which. great
industries have been founded and
great fortunes created, could not exist
without the basis of pure research;
and pure research has in most cases as
the basis of it's origin not love of
money, but love of scientific truth for
it's own sake, an altruistic but imperi-
Gus desire to extend the boundaries of
knowledge.

their religious training was carefully

BY ELLEN FITZ PENDLETON,
President of Wellesley College.

[From Wellesley Qudrterly.1
TT is a matter of common knowl-
edge that the curriculum of a
- college is subject to revision from
time to time The curriculum at
Wellesley which is in force to-day
dates back for its beginning to the ac-
ton of the academic council, which
took effect in the year 1S93-94 and
was the result of two years discus
sion, participated in not only by the
academic council, but by the whole
corps of instruction.
Up to that time two bachelor de-
srees had been conferred by Wellesley
College-the b. A. degree. which pre-
scribed Latin and Greek for admis-
sion. and a certain amount of these
languages in college as well. The B.
S. degree, for which no Greek is re-
quired for admission, had prescribed
work which included a large amount
of modern language as well as science.
There was certain amount of pre-
scribed work common to both degrees,
such as mathematics. English compo-
sition. Biblical history, philosophy,
chemistry and physics. Wellesley Col
lege was among the first, institutions
to adopt a general college course lead
ing to the single degree of B. A.

Boys From 100 Miles Off
Were Put Under Patron

I'm that year John B. Dana, assist
ant steward of the college, was the
patron and was commended to parents.
"Hazing was still in force, and the
lives of the freshmen were made fairly
miserable. They were usually ap-
preached in their early days and
warned Of the Importance of provid-
ing food and drink for the sophomores,
and some of them fell and complied.
1t was not unusual for a party of
sophomores to visit freshman's room
after he was in bed and endeavor to
make him i'll by breathing tobacco
smoke in his face. and often the fresh
man was obliged to do what 1 sup
pose would be called in these days
stunts for the benefit Of the sopho-
mores. One of the common amuse-
ments was to break the windows of
the freshmen at night, and on each
term bill there was charge for spe-
cial repairs to pay for such damages.
"The wise freshman sat in the eve-
ming in a high backed chair with his
back to the window to escape per-
sonal injury. and in the morning prob
ably arranged on his mantel as tro-
phies the stones which had come
through during the night. Those who
lived on the ground floor not infre-
quently had the entire sash of the win
dow broken, which caused a certain
amount Of discomfort during the win
ter. The freshmen were not allowed to
wear tall hats or carry>cancs until af-
ter the long winter vacation, at which
time most Of them assumed these in
sigma or manhood. The six weeks va

to allow students to earn money by
teaching in country school. was dis

Experience Proved That
Electives Must Be Reduced

The principle upon which the cur
riculum of that time became effective
was as follows: Every students work
prescribed work. free elective and
group elective. Originally it had been
the plan of the committee that these
three groups should be practically
equal in amount. AS the discussions
went on this did not prove to be pos
sible. Accordingly the free elective
was reduced to allow for a larger
amount of prescribed work.
The prescribed work was supposed
to give common fund of knowledge !:
the restricted elective was to secure
advanced work in some particular; the
free elective was to give to every stu
dent an opportunity to elect any sub
ject desired.
While changes have been made
some minor and some far reaching,
since that time. the present curricu-
lum has not departed in principle from
the original.
Among the changes are the require
ment that a certain amount of work
should be above mere passing grade
the introduction of grades 1. and 8
in courses, the addition of the require
ment in hygiene. &c.
At various intervals during the last
twenty-five years the academic coun-
Gil has compiled statistics with the
purpose Of discovering how far the
present requirements have fulfilled the
purpose of the curriculum.

FUDGE CHARLES ALMY, re-
Gently retired from the bench
~ after years of service, has writ
ten of the oddities of Harvard in the
late SOS. His article appears in the
current issue of the HARVARD Alumni
Weekly, and follows in part:
1T is somewhat startling to father
of a boy now in college to think that
in 1858 the college formally announced
that it was possible for student to
exist for the thirty-eight weeks of the
college year for $273. In connection
with the matter of expenses and the
paternal care which the college then
exercised, the following extract from
the college statutes is not without in
terest Chapter XIV. Section 121, was
as follows:
"'Some gentleman of Cambridge, not
of the faculty. shall be appointed by
the Corporation to be Patron of all
students, not Of this Commonwealth
who belong to places more than 100
miles distant from Cambridge, and
whose parents or guardians desire to
avail themselves of the regulations
herein provided; and the Patrons shall

Jarvis Field Was Scene
OF Athletic Games

on Jarvis Field. Memorial Hall was
not begun, and scrub games were
played on the Delta where it now
stands. Holmes Field was an unre-
claimed swamp. Baseball was much
played and there were intercollegiate
contests, but football had not yet be-
come prominent. There was some
what feeble effort to establish cricket
club, which never came to very much.
Tennis had not yet come in. The chief
athletic interest of the college was in
the Yale race, which was then rowed
on Lake Quinsigamond by six cared
crews without a coxswain. A large
part of the students took little or no
interest in any form of physical ex-
ercise, and the present commercial side
of the great contests was entirely
lacking.
Junior Exhibition" was then a col
lege function of many years standing
at which certain members of the junior
class. selected much as seniors were
for commencement, were assigned
parts. This was burlesqued by the stu
dents, and Mock Parts were read
from window in Hollis to the as
sembled undergraduates and the sub
ject assigned to each was supposed
to hit some personal popularity. One
which received great applause was
to the leading scholar of the class Of
1859. He was Southerner and had
lost an arm during the civil war in
the Confederate army. His part was
"A Scholar and Gentleman" which
for Rebel meant great deal in
those days. These mock parts became
very personal, sometimes indecent, and
frequently caused much pain. When
junior exhibition was abolished by the
college, this ancient institution of
mock parts came to an end, also to
general relief. The class of 1871 was
the last to have them.
The teaching was about what the
students had been used to in their
preparatory schools and consisted
chiefly of recitations with occasional
lectures. Scholarship rank was estab-
lished by the marks received on reci-
tations and examinations, and any
breach of college rules. such as snow
ballng or smoking IN the yard, caused
loss of marks and reduced Tie standing
in scholarship. For a parietal admoni-
ton eight marks were deducted, for a
private" sixteen marks and for a
public much disliked because il
went to the students father, thirty
two marks. The teaching force of the
college did not meddle with the stu
dents very much except to hear them
recite and mark them on their an
swers. In the last two years of the
course things were decidedly better
and many students remember with
warm gratitude what they got in their
junior and senior years from the great
teachers who were with the college.

carefully selected for their want of
personal pulchritude.
Bread fights were not infrequent
and in some of them bread was not
the only thing that was freely thrown
about the hall. 1t was not an uncom-
mon practice for one at dinner who
wished to reserve something to help
out a somewhat scanty supper. to
fasten the desired piece of food by
his fork to the bottom of the table,
from which place he could recover it
at night If he remembered to do SO.
The food was plain but sufficient, and
there was no more complaint of it than
there always is about food anywhere.
