Special Fund to Aid Advanced Standing

A grant of $43,800 from the Fund for Advanced Education will finance the College's Advanced Standing in its first year, it was announced yesterday.

The program which was passed last spring is designed to allow unusually able secondary school students to enter college as soon as they are ready. It would also enable them to move immediately into advanced courses if they have completed college-calibre work in either secondary school or on their own.

Harlan P. Hanson, Director of the Program said yesterday that although incoming freshmen next year will be able to take upper level courses in more than one subject, they will not receive course credit for anticipatory work.
