...tradition, among the variegated courses of the College. The all-important Sophomore tutorial, which in a sufficiently staffed department would give the student a panoramic view of his field, is hopelessly muddled by the individual interests of the tutors. This work should be standardized and systematized, and would be better carried out in larger groups. In addition, a card index for books in Biochemistry should be compiled to simplify tutorial references, since Holyoke House is useless to concentrators. Lastly, there should be more men among the tutors interested in more specialities...

Bryan, who gives this course, is primarily an authority on glacial geology, outside of Physiography itself, and Geography...
...shown itself capable of active interest in campus problems such as chapel, and the trustees have responded. Faculty members have been willing to give the public the benefit of their insight into contemporary problems. Students have participated actively in the affairs of North Adams in the attempt to better conditions there, and the first peace demonstration at Williams has proved a success. Most important, President Baxter has given a convincing demonstration of his educational liberalism throughout the year, culminating in the appointment of Dr. Lerner...
