Professor Baxter would make no prediction about the future of the Reading Period in his department. As there are no precedents to follow, the use of the Reading Period in Chemistry will probably depend to a large extent upon the result of its first application...
Utilization of the Reading Period in the Department of Physics will be much in the nature of an experiment, upon whose success or failure will depend its future application in this field, according to F. A. Saunders, Professor of Physics and chairman of the department. For this trial two half courses, Physics I and Physics 14 have been selected; the first course covers modern developments in Physics and includes only occasional laboratory work, the other treats Acoustics, with its application to Music and to Architecture and devotes considerable time to laboratory work. Decision has not yet been made...
Professor Saunders stressed the fact that courses in Physics are so constituted that they do not lend themselves to the application of the Reading Period without considerable change in their conduct. As in other sciences, the laboratory work is closely connected and integrated with the formal lectures; accordingly it may be that the Reading Period may not be extended to courses during the second half-year or future years if the trial reveals that its application is not advantageous...
