Tutors Will Not Encourage Cramming but Will Emphasize Method of Study--Many More Men Available

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Closely cooperating with the College Office, the Phi Beta Kappa Service Bureau announced yesterday, a more extensive program than hitherto is being inaugurated for helping men on probation.

An increased number of tutors will be available this year, for they will be recruited not only from the ranks of the Phi Beta Kappa Society but also from a number of competent men outside that organization. They will not help men to cram in their courses, for such is not the purpose of the bureau, but will teach men how to organize their work. In the past there has misunderstanding on this subject, as shown by the fact that two-thirds of the men who asked for help last fall had to be turned away because they wanted cramming for examinations.

Under the guidance and auspices of the Dean's office, the Bureau will get in touch with men on probation, especially Freshmen, and will assign each man who wants assistance to one of the tutors who will then work with the applicant, to teach him coordination and methods of study, taking usually one subject for an example.

Office hours for men wishing such assistance will be in Thayer 33 on Mondays and Thursdays from 4.30 to 5.30 o'clock.
