Deans at Educational Conference

Dean Greenough is today representing Harvard at a conference of Deans of New England Universities at Wesleyan, Middletown, Conn. These men meet informally each year to discuss affairs of common interest in an effort to develop a more general policy with regard to college education in the East. Problems of the past year will be brought up; Dean Greenough will outline the new system of divisional exams just put into effect there, together with the Tutorial system for those concentrating in History, Government and Economics. The lowering of the College Entrance Board's examination requirement will be brought up in connection with the movement toward fewer and more comprehensive examinations to test the ability and not the memory of college students, for which the Deans have been working.
