Faculty to Watch Grammar

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At the suggestion of the Board of Overseers, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences has appointed a "Committee on the Use of English by Students," to raise the standard of English used by undergraduates in courses out side the English Department. The subject was brought into prominened by certain breaches of English grammar discovered in examination papers. It is the object of this committee to remedy this situation and improve the general tone of the language used by undergraduates in their everyday class work. Hereafter any glaring breaches of good usage in written papers will be reported by the instructors to the Secretary of the Committee who will communicate with the student and endeavor to help him avoid such faults in the future. Frequent offenders will be obliged to take a special course in English grammar, which will not count towards a degree, but will be necessary to insure good standing with the College Office.
