Show Oppose Short College Couree. Considerable criticism has grcoted a proposal made by President Butler of Calumbia university that tho course for tho degree of B. A. shall bo shortened short-ened from four to two years and that tho four-year courso shall lead to a master's doRreo. Ono critic expresses himself thus: "It Is a proposal which, if adopted, would lead to far-reaching end perhaps dangerous changes In our educational standards. It certainly cannot bo claimed thnt tho chango would result In an olovation of tho baccalaureato otandard; it would, or so it soems to ono outside tho domain oJ pedagogy, almost surely result In lowering a standard which 1b already bo low as to mean almost nothing." |
