Harvard eases up on . . .
Master's aspirants
Masters degrees in education at Harvard from
now on will be given for demonstrated competence
rather than for a collection of course credits, ac
cording to Harvard's Dean of the Graduate School
of Education Henry W. Holmes. We are tempted
to 'believe him.
The declaration came with the announcement of
important changes in the requirements for Harvard
degrees of Master of Education and Master of Arts
in Teaching which make these requirements much
less formidable in several fields, and lifting the
burden of Summer School candidates considerably.
Jointly administered by the faculties of arts and
science and education, the new rulings will affect
English, French, German, Physics, Chemistry and
Biology.
The changes:
"Candidates for the A. M. in Teaching in the
field of English henceforth need not take special
examinations in Shakespeare, the Bible, and an
cient authors; they are no longer required to par
Ucipate in a seminary course; and they may meet
the requirement of a minimum of two graduate
courses in English by courses in the Summer
School.
For candidates in French and German, the re
quirement of examinations in the Bible, Shake
speare, and ancient authors has likewise been
abandoned. Candidates for the degree in German
may take Spanish or Italian, as well as French, as
their second modern language.
Chemistry and physics candidates will take the
Introductory courses Physics F, "Mechanics, Heat,
and Sound," and Physics G, "Electricity and Mag
netism, Light and Atomic Physics," instead of the
courses previously prescribed.
Physics candidates will be given a choice of two
half-courses in the middle group of courses, open
to graduates and undergraduates, instead of the
courses previously prescribed.
The heavy chemistry requirements for candidates
for the A. M. in Teaching in biology have been
much relaxed. These candidates are no longer re
quired to take the qualifying examination for the
A. M. degree in chemistry; knowledge of chemistry
will be evidenced by a satisfactory record in
courses.
In the case of both the A. M. in Teaching and
the Ed. M. there has been a radical change in the
General Examination in Education.
Henceforth the first five three-hour tests of the
General Examination, testing special knowledge in
educational psychology, measurement, philosophy of
education, secondary education, and principles of
teaching, will be omitted. At the same time, Part
VI of the examination, an integrating test designed
to show evidence of a student's professional judg
ment in education, will be expanded and modified
to show the candidate's power to use his special
knowledge In dealing vith educational problems.
Meanwhile the School has instituted a series of
five one-hour Appraisal Tests, covering the ' five
special fields, which students may take in order to
check up on their course needs in these fields."

From Wall Street we here that temperature stock
is a good buy. It's always rising. The golf mar
ket is steady. It's always around par. But to get
off the market, this is the time for the year when
everyone you know and about three and a half
million you don't are lolling on the sand at such
places as Phoney Island, Long Bleach, and New
part (where all the latest divorces take place).
With bad swimmers the terms at these resorts are
strictly cash drown. Statistics show that there are
three lifesavera to every eligible women, and the
popular flavor seems to be orange and bacardi.
The slogan seems to be that there is nothing new
under the sunburn, and the back-to-nature cult is
going strong. In fact, some of these backs are
blacker than a royal straight flush in spades in
a burial vault. Vanity cases and lip stick cases are
now being manufactured with special compartments
to accommodate bathing suits. Flappers lacking
these roll up their suits in their handkerchiefs.
In this season the famous movie dog is now
known as Rin Tin Tan, and everybody else in
Hollywood is very much in the swim or drink.
Everybody can get wet if they put their mind in
it; where there is a will there is a wave. Out in
Hawaii they go in for surf riding. Oh, well, the
crawl stroke continues to be the most popular with
the sunstroke running a close second.
Speaking of beaches and bleaches I ran into a
gal who wa3 a knockout, and you can be reason
ably sure that if a girl is a knock out she has had
plenty of ring experience.
They tell me that she was a good little girl as
far as good little girls go, and as far as good little
girls go, she went!
Of course, she may be the beautiful but dumb
type. I have a sure way to check up. I'll take her
to a mind readers and if he only charges half price
I'll know I'm right

ROTC receives
excellent rating
Rating of excellent has been
awarded the Uiuversity of Ne
braska ROTC on the basis of the
recent federal inspection of the
units, according to word received
last Friday from the Seventh Corp
Area by Chancellor C. S. Boucher
and CoL C. A. Thuis, commandant.
"Scoring this year was on a
much stricter basis than ever be
fore," said Col. Thuis, "in great
part because of the detail of ROTC
officers from other institutions as
inspectors. The fact that our rat
ings in some details were lower
than in 1939 reflects both more
rigid inspection and the accumu
lation of handicaps which are
mentioned in the federal report."
In rating the senior division
infantry unit the Inspector graded
excellent conformations, classroom
conduct and general conditions but
commented that the basic recita
tion classes were too large in
many cases and that there is a
lack of indoor drill facilities. The
same unit was graded last year
with the memorandum by the in
spector that "there should be an
armory by all means."
Regents establish fund
for thesis publication
Regulations for students ap
proved by the university board of
regents in its meeting in Lincoln
recently include establishment of
a fee of $25 for publication of ab
stracts of doctoral dissertations.
This fee relieves the doctoral can
didate of the greater expense of
publishing his thesis in full.
