Kansas Advocates Abolition
Of First-Year Courses
On 'Principles.'
Prof. John Ise of the economics
department of the University of
Kansas told a group of economists
and professors of business admin
istration in Social Sciences build
ing Tuesday afternoon that intro
ductory courses in economics,
known as "elements of economics,"
probably should be eliminated from
the college schedule. In Professor's
Ise'a opinion, these facts are gen
erally taught in advanced courses,
thus resulting in considerable
duplication.
In place of these courses, the
Kansas educator recommended
that first year students be required
to take courses in economic his
tory, which would give the student
a proper background for his later
advanced work. The speaker la
mented the fact that economic de
partments have been abandoned by
many schools, and lauded the
scholarly broadmmdedness or uean
J. E. LeRossignol, who, he said,
was not allowing the college of
business administration at the uni
versity to become a specialized
school for future business men.
