Because of this mental attitude the college must spend a year, often two, in readjusting the student's relationship to and understanding of education. In many cases it accomplishes this purpose by requiring Freshman "orientation courses"; in others by general distribution and introductory requirements. In spite of these artificial aids, often burdensome to teacher and student alike, the mortality among Freshmen unable to make the jump is unnecessarily large...

The proposal to sever the year-long relationship would at least clean that house which, as the News has said, is divided against itself; whether it would make more sturdy to structure is a question which only a fair trial of the plan could answer...
