Grade Opponent To Teach At Bennington College
NEW YORK An English instructor barred from Columbia College for giving all his students A's will teach this fall at Bennington College where they do not assign grades. Richard G. Tristman, 24, defended his grading by denouncing ranking students. He refused to grade traditionally and will still draw salary for spring. About 40 freshmen English students received A's in his medieval literature class. Tristman says grading is protest against the war and Selective Service. A colleague said grades should evaluate, not brand as products.
