Dean Proposes New Curriculum Plan For Two Year Lead Time
Dean Gildersleeve outlined a tentative curriculum to the student body at Students Hall on December 2. The plan, not to take effect for two years, requires English proficiency, a foreign language from six options, and practical courses in Hygiene and Physical Education. The program groups courses into Literatures and Fine Arts, Social Sciences, and Mathematics and Natural Sciences with a major requiring 28 points and 14 from each other group. The dean argued current rules overcomplicate the system and urged student input through Student Council. The emphasis is on teacher quality and student effort rather than subject choice.
