Faculty Should Act Further Against Tutoring, Charges Alumni Bulletin

In the leading editorial of today's issue of the Alumni Bulletin, the editors review the tutoring school campaign and in reference to the faculty action of last week prohibiting the employment of students by tutoring schools, state that they feel that the Faculty ought to act further.

The editors of the Bulletin feel that last week's action, although commendable, puts too much responsibility on the Dean's Office which will now have to make arbitrary distinctions as to what is legitimate tutoring.

"It will not be easy to separate black from white," the editorial says. "No one wants to cut off from able and honorable students, graduate or undergraduate, the opportunity to earn money by tutoring that is innocent, helpful, and consonant with the Harvard emphasis on self-education. No one wants to prevent a student who neds help from getting it."

The Bulletin says that it suspects that the Faculty will take over a lot of tutoring in the form of some sort of a University tutoring school. "But the Bulletin feels--as doubtless the Faculty feels--that more positive measures are greatly to be desired."

"The instruction given in the College should be studied with a care which has not so far been given to its details in particular, its assignments of reading and written work, and its examinations.

"Along with the policing of tutoring and tutors should go a profounder and more leisurely study of the nature and direction of learning in the College", the editorial concludes.
