Educator Pushes Broad Change in College Honors System
Tufts College president John Albert Cousens urged replacing fixed graduation honors with a points system valuing both academics and student activities. Extra points would reward glee club, drama, athletics, with leaders receiving double. He proposed two year general study followed by a specialized program, potentially limiting four year graduates’ entry into the second track. He tied the plan to Tufts’ Fletcher estate settlement and a new endowment.
