FACULTY-DEAN OF PRINCETON SHOWS INTEREST IN RESPITE

Princeton, N. J., March 9, 1927,--The recently-instituted Harvard plan of giving students respites from class work before mid-year and final examinations has attracted the interest of Professor Eisenhart. Faculty Dean of Princeton University.

"It will be particularly interesting," Professor Eisenhart said, "to watch the working of the Harvard plan to see how great a percentage of the students will play the game and permit the scheme to be worked out as it should be. If it succeeds in making the undergraduates learn how to study problems out for themselves, it will be excellent. If they merely evade it, however, by letting their tutors do their thinking for them, while they prepare for the examination during these recesses, the object of the plan will be defeated."
