...long laboratory hours, amounting to a minimum of 12 hours a week are a necessary part of the training, and those who are interested in the field realize this. Moreover the lab work is directed by very competent section men. But it was felt that opening the laboratories from 7:00 to 9:30 o'clock in the evening for individual work would not be much of a burden on the department and would allow concentrators to spend their afternoons outside of the laboratory. As it is, they close at 5:00 o'clock even in the advanced courses...
...field outside of the aid given during laboratory work, but many concentrators felt the need of someone to direct any voluntary reading they might want to do outside the course work. On the other hand concentrators in Chemistry take a course more that other fields without charge, and the section men are willing to give any suggestions if approached. Since there are no divisions within the field for special concentration and thus little need for correlation, and no general departmental exams, there is little need for organized tutorial...
...chemistry should take courses B and 3, a first and a second half-year course respectively. B is unsatisfactory on the whole--it is rather easy, the lectures are not connected with the reading, and Bartlett tends to be dull in his elementary lectures. But this year a special section will be arranged for particularly qualified men. Chemistry 3 is a second semester course on Qualitative Analysis. Professor Forbes is hard for Freshmen to follow unless they have done the reading, which is also hard to follow, but the material is valuable...
They sank a sample shaft in Maryland, where 35 trained interviewers bearded the beardless at home, on street corners, in drugstores, in dance halls. Their 13,528 storytellers were a representative cross section of the nation's 20,000,000 youth...
Since Mathematics 2 is required for all concentrators, it was felt that one section at least should emphasize problems and practical work, (Huntington is a good engineer) so that the course may be of some use in later engineering courses. Some sections now are almost worthless from an engineering standpoint. Closer cooperation between the Engineering Sciences and Mathematics departments should solve this difficulty...
