Dean Ford has approved a plan to establish a non-credit tutorial in Biology run through the Houses next year. The Committee on Educational Policy will have to take final action on the program this Spring...
...course was inspired by a former Navy pilot, Frank Hazelwood, 35, who moved to Atlanta three years ago and simply decided he wanted to do something for the schools his two daughters attend. He volunteered to teach a non-credit experimental flying course twice weekly after school hours. School officials were surprised when 70 kids tried to enroll even though Hazelwood could handle only eleven. One was a dropout who begged to be readmitted when he heard about the course, soon began carrying his slide-rule flight computer around school, proudly solving math problems for friends. He got his high...

Bate explained in 1961 that a non-credit honors tutorial might be aimed at those students capable of honors work but not well enough prepared in English literary history to dispense with a full schedule of departmental courses. This reasoning has evidently not influenced the present standards, because sophomore rank listing has nothing to do with preparation in English, either historical or critical. A sophomore's grade average may well cover three science courses and a Soc Sci. In any case, members of English 98 can take four departmental courses in addition to tutorial...
Bate further proposed in 1961 that credit tutees carry a work load equivalent to that of two courses, and non-credit honors tutees carry a work load equivalent to that of only one course. This scheme has never become formal department policy. In practice, however, some tutors do assign less work and give less time to their non-credit tutees. The department has admitted that non-credit tutees can do honors work, and it requires no given amount of preparation in English before junior year. Students in non-credit honors tutorial, then, should receive the same degree of attention...
