WILL TELL FRESHMEN OF CONCENTRATION FIELDS

On Friday, April 6, the entire Freshman class, with the exception of first-year men in the Engineering School, will assemble in the New Lecture Hall at 9 o'clock for a general discussion on the selection of a field of concentration. President Lowell, Dean Greenough, and Professor G. H. Parker '87 will speak, as well as Mr. E. A. Whitney '17, secretary of the Committee on the Choice of Electives, who will outline briefly the mechanical requirements of concentration and distribution.

To Take Place of History 1

For Freshmen enrolled in History 1 the meeting will take the place of the lecture ordinarily scheduled for that hour. Any members of the class of 1926, however, will be excused from attendance at such courses as meet at 9 o'clock on Friday, in order to attend the meeting. Upperclassmen in History 1 will be required to attend the meeting of the course on Friday.

It has been customary to have these talks for Freshmen for a number of years in order to assist them in their choice of a field of concentration. A blank has been sent to each Freshman on which to indicate his choice of a field of concentration and also the courses in that field which he proposes to take during the remainder of his college course. Freshmen will be required to file these blanks in the office of the Committee on the Choice of Electives, in University 2A, on or before May 1.

To Discuss Choices

Freshmen are expected to discuss with their Faculty advisers their choice of a field of concentration. If the adviser is a member of the department in which they have elected to concentrate, they may make out their plans of courses under his supervision and he may also sign their blanks as representing his department. If, however, the adviser is a man of some other department, the plan is to be submitted for approval to some designated member of the department which has been chosen for concentration. Students have been asked by the College office to consider their plan very carefully before presenting it for approval in order that the work of these departmental representatives will not be needlessly increased.
