Annual Reports of the President and the Treasurer of Harvard College, 1898-99 (Classic Reprint) by Harvard University PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Annual Reports of the President and the Treasurer of Harvard College, 1898-99 When the Overseers insisted that algebra and elementary history should be required subjects, they diminished sensibly the range of election of studies open to candidates for admission, and thereby impaired the best reliance of the Faculty for pre venting the total amount of work required of any individual candidate from being raised. The scheme finally adopted must, therefore, be very carefully administered for several years, in order to prevent an increase in the work required for admission. It was pointed out in the last report that almost every department represented among the subjects required for admission feels that it has gained something under the new definitions or under the new methods of util izing for admission the various permitted subjects. Whether these departmental convictions have been reconciled with the declared policy of the Faculty not to increase the requirements for admission remains to be seen. The new plan for admission will bring the College into closer connection with high schools throughout the country, and will tend to enlarge the election of studies in all secondary schools in consequence it will tend to make secondary educa tion less discursive for the individual pupil than it has been. The new requirements are not only perfectly adapted to the needs of the classical schools - indeed, are better adapted to the programmes of well-conducted classical schools than any requirements for admission to Harvard College have ever been.
