...tutorial system, spreading in ever-widening circles of inclusion, takes in today the last but one, of the sciences taught in Harvard College. If the force of conversions to the tutorial system may be said to be cumulative, this event yields place to two others; some ten years ago when the Department of History, Government and Economics presented the system to Harvard College, and that indefinite but somehow expectable day when the tutorial system and Harvard College may be linked without qualification or exception...
...advent of this latter day rests largely upon the success of the tutorial system in the scientific departments which have already adopted it. But the Chemistry Department, which must be giving the system serious thought, since it is the only science still astray for the fold, may not wait for instantaneous success elsewhere to make its own decision. The change of the Biology Department went into effect only this fall, yet the Department of Geology announced its change to the tutorial system on March 22, when conclusive data on the result in biology of the experiment could scarcely have been...
...Department of Chemistry contemplates making the change, there will be available data that would seem to bear somewhat directly on the decision. Two years ago the Department of Bio-Chemical Sciences was created, with the object of removing evils then present in the system of pre-medical education. Although the achievements toward which the two systems point are essentially different, there is a similarity between the field that is not wholly superficial. The kinship between Physics and Chemistry is likewise great enough so that the influence of the sister science will probably be thrown into the scales. Dangerous...
...vote of the Faculty of the Department of Physics, students concentrating in that field will, starting this fall, work under the Tutorial System, with its attendant general examinations, it was announced yesterday. The change will go into effect in September...
Further action of the Department will decide whom the change will affect. Sophomores concentrating in Physics will work under the Tutorial System next year, the change being extended to include Juniors the year following, and at some time in the future. It is not yet decide whom the change will affect, be optional with Juniors and Seniors next year...
