Various steps might be taken to remedy the present situation it has been proposed by some to abolish the examinations in "related" fields entirely. And substitute certain course requirements which would cover the ground. But this suggestion is hardly in line with the increasing emphasis toward tutorial work as distinguished from mere counting of courses. Another solution might lie in giving these examinations at the conclusion of the Sophomore or Junior year so that men would have a fresher knowledge of the subjects and would have more leisure to prepare for them. While there is much to be said...
...recast the form of the examinations in related fields in such a way that there would be a real correlation with the student's special line of study. A man concentrating in Government for example instead of attempting to become an authority on the whole field of Economics might be examined on some more restricted subject such as Public Finance or Governmental Regulation of Public Utilities in such a way that he would be able to focus his knowledge of Economics on something of real interest to his own line of study. Under such a plan a broad basis...
...order that the claims of these specimens to special classification might be shown to be in error, an exhaustive study had to be made of virtually all the available material about gorillas extant throughout the world. It is such a study which Mr. Coolidge has just completed, and it is upon such a study that his findings rest...
...made a comprehensive study of most of the available works on the gorilla, with special emphasis on habits in the field that might affect the growth of its skull, also a study of the writings on the gorilla's brain and skull by such anatomists as Anthony, Bolk, Duckworth, Elliot Smith, Selenka, Keith, and Harris, often supplemented by discussion with these...
...personally taken a set of thirty measurements of each of 400 skulls, reduced them to percent-ages, grouped them by locality and plotted the curves of variation. He made these computations without any preconceived theory as to what he might find and studied the curves of variation which resulted. On these he discovered that certain measurements showed sufficiently great differences between regions to warrant calling them different subspecies. Study of the curves forced him to divide the species into Gorilla gorilla gorilla (Savage & Wyman) or Coast, and Gorilla gorilla beringei (Matschie) or Mountain. It happens that the first of these...
