to the afternoon. The classes and all
seminars, which have also been trans
ferred, will be held from 80 to $3.50

ming on the half hour. This is regarded
at the university as a progressive move
for a number of reasons, chief among
which is the fact that the work of the
graduate departments of the Catholic
University is thus made available to a
large number of college graduates in
Washington who have heretofore been
prevented from attending the institu-
ton by reason of the announcement

ers of Washington in so far as work

Establishment of junior college to
! embrace the regular work of the f1rst
two college years in George Washing
ton University has been voted by the
faculties, it is announced by DR.. Cloyd
Heck Marvin, president OF the inst:tu-
ton. The junior college will begin OPP
eraticn with the opening of the aca-
demic year in September. At the same
time DR.. Marvin announced the ap-
pointment of Henry Grattan Doyle.
/ formerly dean of the lower division In
Columbian College, as dean OF the jun
ior college.
The curriculum of the Junior col
leee will continue studies of general
cultural nature begun in elementary
and secondary schools. and will Jay
the foundation for more specialized
college work which may follow. Upon
the satisfactory completion Of two years
in the junior college students will be
granted a certificate of Junior standing.
The faculty of the new junior COL
lege will be separate from that OF the
senior college, although the personnel
will overlap to some extent. It will be
composed of those teachers who have
devoted large portion of time to the
instruction of freshmen and sophomore
subjects and who are particularly fitted
by personality and training for the
direction of the younger college stu
dents.
Advantages Set Forth.
In the establishment of a junior COL
lege, the university authorities believe,
the following advantages are achieved:
A better transition between secondary
school and university will be achieved
through closer cooperation with sec
ondary schools on the one hand, and
upper division college and professional
schools on the other, with expert advice
upon courses at registration time and
with system of junior college and pre-
professional. advisers available to the
student throughout the year the prob
lem of adjustment to college life will
be materially lessened, and closer CO.
operation with parents and promotion
of the development of the present pro-
gram of personal administration and
vocational guidance will be provided.
The new college will make a place
in college for students who do not de-
sire to enter upon a four-year course.
The authorities believe further that it
Is desirable from the standpoint of
academic instruction since 1t will group
freshmen and sophomore students to-
gether and junior and senior students
together.
