The smaller college" plan was
first brought forward publicly in
the now celebrated student council
report OF 1925 which sought a way
of bringing into contact each other
in social community students
whose varying interest and ideals
represented fair cross section of
undergraduate life.
IOwella Statement
In making public the gift, Presi-
dent Lowell said in part:
For a generation there has been
much discussion OF the policy Of
breaking UP our large colleges into
smaller social units In order to Sc
cure at the same time the advan-
taEes of the isrge and small insti-
buttons. Many men here have felt
that this must come il We we're to
confer the greatest benefit upon our
undergraduates.
ITO the Officers OF the faculty the
method Of approach has seemed TO
lie In the creation OF a residential
group or house for students capable
OF strong scholarly interest and
achievement. associated with menu
hers Of tho instructing staff. includ-
ing their tutors and. If possible, with
research fellows In different lines of
work.
1.-THE present plan involves no
change in the method Of teaching;
and In fact our tutorial system lends
itself to 1t perfectly. The men will
attend the college courses like other
students but the tutoring normally
will be done at the housc. Nor does
tie plan affect the functions of Har-
yard college and the faculty of arts
and sciences in education, as the
great undergraduate center and the
authority for granting degrees and
determining the qualifications there
for"
Are Adapted
President Lowell emphasized that
the oxford and Cambridge plans
were not being initiated but rather
adapted to American needs. He de-
clared 1t would undoubtedly be
misunderstood" but predicted that
~ with the tutorial and general ex-
animation system while time would
be needed to perfect it, it would in
the end prove to have been a logi-
cal step toward progress.

Governor Yen Hsi-Shan of Shansi,

Bandits Rob Travellers
Bandit troops were robing all trav-

credentials. and highways from the

the number of refugees. Among them
the second wife of the Emperor
kwang Hsu with her Tetinue.
Rumors were rift concerning the
fate Of the 47th Mukdenite brigade

foreign diplomats claimed that their
safe evacuation had been agreed 10
by the nationalist governments and
that this agreement had been vio-
