However, not given to consistency, the team has yet to prove that it deserves the title. Second half lapses and a terrible day against Dartmouth have hurt badly, and an occasional upset is certainly not grounds enough to call a team great. But if the Crimson can go out today and win, it would indicate that last week's victory over Penn was not an upset. To date the team has been unable to get 'up' for successive contests, and today is their last chance. If they can, it could mean the title.Tackle ERIC NELSON (71) and halfback JIM NELSON...

...within the reach of a one-year course, brought a fresh outlook to the program, and, apparently as a result of either the report or pleas by members of the Committee, several prominent natural scientists have become interested in Nat Sci--Edward M. Purcell, professor of Physics, is teaching half of Nat Sci 2, and George Wald, professor of Bio-chemistry, will teach a lower level course next year.

Sarah Lawrence students take only three courses which, with rare exception, meet only once a week. In addition there is a weekly half-hour conference with each instructor, similar in may respects to Harvard's individual tutorial system. In this way, the instructor can be expected to learn and fill the requirements of each student, giving in effect a different course to each conferee. As with Harvard tutorial, examinations are rare and most faculty members conscientiously avoid them. Term papers, traditionally referred to as "contracts," are expected of each student...
