THE PIKE ' S PEAK NUGGET ®i|e Qloiiege of J rts ano jSriettces DEAN PARSONS The School of Arts and Sciences has displayed great progress in the past year. The new ridings introduced to require higher scholastic standings of athletes, fraternity men and candidates for girls ' literary societies have proved so practical that the principle has been extended to cover ever)- field of college activity. In the middle of each semester special ex- aminations are given to those who seem to be in danger of failing and every stu- dent is given a detailed report of his scholastic standing in order that he may have time to make up any short-coming before the final examinations. Any per- son whom the latest report has shown deficient in two or more subjects is inel- igible for any form of intercollegiate contest and cannot compete for any college office. A marked improvement in scholarship has been the immediate result of the adoption of this policy. Another recent ruling assigns to each college office a number of points, the number varying with the importance of the office, and provides that no student be allowed to hold offices totaling more than a fixed number of points per vear. This prevents any tendency on the part of certain individuals to gain more than their share of these honors, and brings a greater number of students into promi- nence. A few changes fr 3m last year have been made in the faculty. Professor Bushee has succeeded Professor Clark as Professor of Economics and Sociology ; Mr. Breitweiser has filled the Assistant-professorship of Philosophy and Educa- tion left vacant by Professor Ruger, and Mr. Earl Alden has become instructor in English. Never before have so many elective offices been available for students in this department ; Law, Science, Languages, Economics, and Philosophy each has had its share, with the result that the student has been more able than ever to arrange his courses to suit his individual needs. The great variety of electives offered, and the excellence of equipment and instruction have done much toward putting this school on its present secure basis and have contributed largely to its rapid growth.
