Curriculum Changes At Williams Feature Break Division of Four-Year Term Periods Bears Similarity to Proposed Plan Now Under Discussion by Faculty at the University. o (Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of articles presenting information regarding curriculum changes on other campuses. Hhoades, who is a senior associate editor of the Williams Record, has prepared this special article on recent changes at Williams College after having been presented with a complete statement of the proposed curriculum changes here at the University.) By John H. Rhoades, III Williams College It would not have taken a trip to Chapel Hill to realize the points of difference in curricu lar problems at Williams and those of the University of North Carolina ; but my trip last April brought to the fore most notice ably several essential differ ences. In the first place, Williams of fers only one degree, that of A. B. It is true that a handful of people are doing post graduate work under special supervision, but this situation is rather the exception than the - rule. The second most noticeable difference is that Williams offers no "prac tical" or "vocational" courses. Again there are some exceptions instruction in painting and drawing and accounting . have been offered this year, but no college credit is given for this Person hall, now in process of j being remodeled, is going to be developed into a University art gallery, according to an an nouncement made yesterday by Charles T. Woollen, University comptroller. The interior of sec ond oldest structure of the Uni versity is being done over, the work being done under the di rection of the building depart ment. - ' - - According to present plans, the edifice will be divided into three sections and one room will be' provided for instruction. . Labor on the gallery to be is being carried out by CWA work ers and University students un der the supervision of the build ing department through the $3,615 federal aid grant tended the University. The wood floor in the middle section of the hall has been al ready removed and a concrete bottom will take its place. The building will provide a place on thexmpus for the dis playing and preserving of paint February Coldest Month Since 1905 According to Major Panton, who has charge of the govern ment weather bureau here, rec ords for the past month show that last month was the coldest Chapel Hill has been through since 1905. The official thermometer showed that February 10, on which the mercury fell to 8, was the coldest day, and that the 15th was the warmest; on that day the temperaure reached 70. There were 23 days on which the temperature was below freezing, and eight days on which it was below 20. The mer cury went as high as 50 on only eight days. After Soph Year 0 into Preparatory and Advanced work. With these differences in mind, it is essential to pro ceed to the objective of the four- year course at Williams. The primary purpose of the curriculum is to promote the de velopment of the student's in tellectual powers by providing progressive training in the methods of acquiring and using knowledge. During freshman and sophomore years the courses are mainly preparatory for the later work of the curriculum. The general and introductory courses of these years lead 'up to the second part of the college course, that of the advanced and more specialized courses of the last two years. The second part of the curriculum serves to carry the student as far as pos sible ina restricted field of study (his major), giving him progressive training in the special methods of work in that field, and preparing him, as far as possible, to work' independ ently.

It will be the center of the study of art at the University. The University has no place at present to display art fea tures. The lobby of the music building and the library have been the only places suitable. "The gallery will offer oppor tunity for a center of fine arts on the campus, emphasizing the painting end," states Woollen. Playmaker scenery, which has been stored in the building for a number of years, has been re moved to special rooms provid ed for their storage in the base ment of Bynum gymnasium. Person hall was presented to the University in 1797 by Gen eral Thomas Person. It has been used as the habitat of al most every type of University activity, serving as a meeting place for the Di and Phi liter ary societies, a chapel, chemistry department, medical school de partment, book exchange, and in numerous other capacities. mm ANNOUNCES DEBATE SCHEDULE Two Teams Will Take Northern and Southern Trips During Spring Vacation; Complete Schedule Not Yet Arranged.

WILL REDUCE CONFUSION With the exception of fresh men and sophomores, students will register for the spring pe riod the last week of this quar ter, March 12 to March 17, in the offices of the deans of the various schools, it was an-, nounced yesterday by Dean A. W. Hobbs. First and second-year men will register after spring holidays in the Tin Can Monday, March 26. Classes will start Tuesdayr March 27. Under this plan all scholars who had 15 credit courses at the beginning of the winter quarter this year may register, before the "spring recess. Upperclass Registration All students who had 15 courses before the opening of the fall quarter must register before the holidays. Failure to regis ter during the regular period will result in a late registration fee of $5. University officials urge all scholars, who are allowed to sign up for courses before vacation, to do so whether they expect to return to' school for the next period or not, for registratitn involves no obligation. ; Setting the registration period of sophomores and freshmen to be after the spring holidays is the result of a ruling made by the University faculty at a meet ing February 6. This change was made neces sary by reason of the number of adjustments which had to be made during the last registra tion period.
