New Rules for Electives Open to 1913

It has been decided by the Faculty Committee which has the matter in charge, that the new rules for the choice of electives, which will become obligatory for 1914 and subsequent classes, may be voluntarily adopted by members of the present Freshman class. A circular to this effect, giving particulars of the new plan, has been sent to all Freshmen.

In order to help students of the class of 1913 to select their courses wisely, the committee will ask a large number of professors and other instructors to assist in the work of advising, and will appoint, for each member of the class who desires it, an adviser whom he may consult now and at any time in his College career. No adviser will have more than four or five men in the class.

These advisers will be appointed before the middle of May for those who desire to take advantage of the new rules. If Freshmen have any personal preference as to advisers, they should notify Professor C. P. Parker, not later than May 2. Such preference will, if possible, be followed. The line of study in which a man is inclined to concentrate, should also be indicated. When an adviser is appointed, although consultation with him is not required, Freshmen are urged to see him as soon as possible and form a plan for making their work for their degree systematic.
