made today by President Clarence C.
Little of the University of Maine that
freshmen next year will be required
70 take up their residence in Orono on
Sept. II, week before registration of
upperclassmen begins.
The purpose of this innovation. he
SAID. is to acquaint new students with
conditions and courses in the institu-
tlon before actual work begins, and to
give them a chance to decide definite
~ what courses of study they want to
pursue. Entering students will con-
suit with members of the faculty
about the various courses and an eff
fcrt Will be made to prescribe curri-
cula TO fit the students needs and
capacities. Such action. it is believed,
will result in fewer students taking
courses for which they are not tenn
peramentally fitted.
Fraternities will be asked not to
rush freshmen during the first week
of their residence here.
