A junior college where most students take only a two-year course, Stephens is equipped with a streamlined curriculum which makes girls worry little over mathematics or Greek, lets them concentrate instead on such subjects as Elementary Music, Consumers' Problems, Principles of Dietetics, Tap Dancing, Expressive Speech. The courses are grouped to correspond...
