...second trial on Friday: A. Fox 3L., J. A. Harley '08, H. A. Hirsh 2L., B. V. Kanaly 2L., M. C. Leckner '08, E. R. Lewis '08, S. F. Peavey '07, J. W. Sedman 3L., W. M. Shohl 1L., G. T. Stephenson 2G., N. Wolfman 2G., A. Tulin...
...elective system, thus defined, exists even when a minor part of the studies of the freshman year is prescribed." Harvard chose the negative of this question. The Harvard team, which was finally chosen on February 24, was composed of W. H. Davis '05, B. V. Kanaley 1L. and A. Tulin 2L. The Coolidge prize of $100 for the best work in all three trials was awarded to A. Tulin 2L. The other three speakers in this final trial--W. M. Shohl '06, C. E. Burchenal 3L. and I. I. Mattuck '05--were retained to form a second team, which...

When a few weeks ago the Harvard Faculty instituted a new degree--an A.B. with distinction--which requires that a student shall pursue his courses in a single department under the supervision of the Faculty, they stamped work done under special direction as of higher value than unrestricted study. What more eloquent testimony than this illustrates the tendency away from the free...
...Tulin concluded the rebuttal for Harvard. Our opponents, he said, have jumped at the conclusion that we of the negative are arguing for a prescribed system of study. We suggest that men of broad experience in education know what is best for the undergraduate, and these men have given their opinion against free election. To show that the system of free election is not to be recommended we have pointed out that it is a revolutionary experiment in education, that the tendency in American colleges is away from free election of courses, and that the system has already worked evils...
