' Individuality Is Keynote In Plan Of Education o Under Preceptorial System Student Finds Himself Regarded as Individual, with His Abilities, Interests, Purposes And Potentialities Analyzed and Directed. . o-; (Editor's Note: .This is the second article on the Colgate Plan. It is sub mitted by the editor of the Colgate student publication. The Daily Tar Heel urges students to read the ex planation carefully and respond with any suggestions which University officials might use in their contem plated curriculum changes. The Daily Tar Heel will gladly print any and all of the communications re ceived on this important question.) By Merrill C. Phillips Editor, Colgate Maroan Before presenting an individ ual impression of the Colgate Plan, it is only natural that the reader be given some inkling of its organization and fuactions. Quite briefly, the k plan has been in the process of develop ment for the past seven or eight years, ana emDraces many oi the best advances in modern ed ucational experimentation. Its two principal features are the survey courses and the precep torial system. Concerning the first, suffice it to say that the Colgate curriculum has been di vided into six schools with a survey course in each one except that of languages. These schools are physical sciences, biological sciences, social sciences, philoso phy and religion, fine arts, and languages. Each undergraduate is required to take the survey courses and, with the exception of the one in fine arts, all are taken in the freshman year. At the end of the first year the stu dent is in a position to choose his field of concentration. In the sophomore year he takes six to nine hours' throughout the year in his school of concentra tion, and in the junior and sen ior years he takes from six to NEW P. U. BOARD TOIilffiTONIGHT Group Will Have First Meeting Since Appointment of New Faculty Representatives. The first meeting of the Pub lications Union board with its new faculty representatives will take place tonight at 7 :00 o'clock in Graham Memorial. An election of a treasurer will be among the important items of business that will come before the board. J. M. Lear, former treasurer, is at present acting as non-voting adviser since the succession of his po sition and that of Professor Phillips Russell as members of the" board by Professor Milton Heath and Harry Russell, the new faculty appointments. To Act on Awards The group will take action on the recently rejected publica tions scholarships which it cre ated before Christmas and which were declared unjustified by the student activities commit tee. It is expected that the board will act in accordance with the committee's recommen dation and withdraw the awards. Another matter that will pos sibly be discussed is the ad visability of the board entering the student audit system. A proposal to become full mem bers of the system was voted down last quarter, but is is ex 'pected that with the matter of .the election, of a new treasurer, the audit .question will again present itself. Used At Colgate nine hours in some department of that school. For example, in the sophomore year he may choose physical sciences as a school of concentration, and in the junior and senior years con centrate more definitely in geolo gy. Personal Contacts The second feature of the plan is the preceptorial system. With the recent grant to the Univer sity of $120,000, by the Car negie Corporation of New York it will be possible . to provide each freshman with a preceptor, whom he will meet weekly. The object that the preceptor has in mind is to endeavor to develop the student intellectually as a whole by means of assigned readings, reports, and informal discussions. In the freshman year the preceptor is probably not a man connected with the department in which the student is likely to concentrate. In the sophomore year, however, the student is assigned to a tutor in his field of concentration and this tutor by the modified tutor ial method, as it is called, en deavors to shape the student's course in such a way that he will be better fitted for the work of the seminar tutorial classes in his junior and senior years. These latter classes are small in numbers and provide for work in which the student does spec ial assignments individually and independently", makes . extensive reports on assigned readings, prepares essays for the benefit of the whole class, and in a gen eral way assumes responsibility (Continued on last page) Y CABINETS WILL HEAR SCIENTISTS Groves and Brooks to Talk on "Sex and Mental Hygiene. Dr. E. R. Groves and Dr. L. M. Brooks of the department of sociology will address the fresh man and sophomore cabinets of the Y. M. C. A. on "Sex and Mental Hygiene," tomorrow night at 7 :1 5 o'clock. Both members of the sociol ogy department are recognized as authorities in their field, Dr. Brooks having written many books on the subject. At this lecture questions of both a gen eral and personal nature will be welcomed by the lecturers. For the freshmen and sopho mores who are not able to take advantage of the course given by Dr. Groves on the family, these lectures offer an excellent opportunity to obtain some of nis material on tne sex ques tion. A continuation of these lec tures will be given the follow ing Monday night by the same speakers. Members of the cab inets are urged to bring any of their friends to these lectures who. may care to attend. MANAGER SYSTEM TO BE DISCUSSED AT MEETING HERE Wager and Newsom Will Lead Program of N. C. Club. The meeting of the North Carolina club tomorrow night at 7 :30 . in the library room of the rural social economics de partment, will be conducted jointly by Dr. P. W. Wager of the University faculty, and D. W. Newsom, county manager of Durham. Dr. Wager will open the meet ing by tracing the development of the county manager plan of government, and then D. W. Newsom is going to tell of the experiences of Durham county under the county manager plan. Only County Manager Newsom is the only county manager in this state, and one of the three county managers in the United States, the other two being in Arlington county, Virginia, and San Mateo coun ty in Salifornia. Some counties in this state have made the chairman of the county board of commissioners a county man ager in name, but he does not have the authority and power of a regular county manager ; he is not recognized by the Inter national Association of City Managers. There are seventeen city mangers in this state, but only one county manager. This is part of the general topic for the year of the North Carolina club.

GERMAN EXHIBIT OF GRAPHIC ART NOW ONDISPLAY Students Invited to Vote ca Favorite Picture, Later to Be Presented to University.

The causes of war will be the topic for discussion at the regu lar meeting of the International Relations club tonight at 8:00 o'clock in Graham Memorial. Carl Thompson will act as chair man. Due to the fact that Upton Close is appearing at the Univer sity tomorrow, the subject may be shifted to center around prob lems in the Far East. However, according to the president of the organization, there is one group of members which is determined to keep the discussion on war causes, and thus a war will probably arise in any case. Other Business The club will consider the plausibility of sending repre sentatives to .the International Relations Groups conference, sponsored by the Carnegie foun dation, to be held February 21 22 at Hattisburg, Mississippi. If delegates from-the local club are sent, the number will probably be five. Other business scheduled for consideration includes a report by the correspondence secretary and a discussion of the report, to be submitted by the committee on international peace. Members of the club still ex tend an invitation to non-members of the group to attend the meeting as spectators or participants.
