Last fall the Alumni Bulletin recommended such a course on "American Citizenship" for the University. It would give a cross-section from several fields; including history, government and economics, picking from each that part most valuable to the American voter.

To make it easily available for students in all departments, the course could be counted for the history requirement in Distribution.

He sees a solution only in some practical form of an intelligence test for every...

These benefits have been enumerated often; improved physique, training in citizenship, preparation for national defence, and a host of others.
