The present effort to compile such a book is the first to be made by any NEWS board. If possible, the work will be rushed in order that the book may be distributed for use tilts coming semester. The need for the handbook became apparent last year when members of the board began the work, but did nut carry it very far. This year it was found that the work of the associate managing editor would be greatly facilitated by such a bonk. Work on collecting material fur the bonk is under the direction of (jeorge P.

The course deals with studies in literature, and is under thedirection of Dr. Harold W . Hastings,, head of the English department. The new subject is unique in that it is an attempt to transfer the responsibility from the teacher to thestudent. Persons taking the course do not attend class until late in the-, semester. Their only connection with the instructor comes through conferences, much as is now in progress atOxford college in England. The students prepare a thesis onany of the masterpieces of literature that interests them. Much research work is involved, and the use of originality in point of view on the part of the student is welcomed. There is. no final examination in the course, the mark gained being derived en-' lirely from the quality of the research thesis. The course is the first attempt to initiate at State college a system now generally used throughout England and on the continent. T h e resultel are being studied with interest, acrording to President A. R. Brubacher, successful may lead to change i the organization of other courses.
