Williams Record Runs Poll On Harvard, Yale Proposals

"Do you approve of a more generalized education? Do you believe that six required courses is too many in a college curricula of 16? Are you in favor of reducing the emphasis placed on 'majors' to promote a more general education in broader intellectual fields? Would you support a summer reading program such as Yale has recently proposed?"

These are the questions Williams College students are being asked this week in a poll conducted by the Williams Record. The Record claims that many of the essential features of both plans are already in operation at Williams, thinks Yale's summer reading course will be the most controversial issue in its poll.

The Record has sampled Williams faculty opinion in addition, finding doubts as to the problems of administration of the new plans.
