A-dvi' ' -.-and - ' MR. WILLIAMS HE English department was re-established in 1932 with Mr. Byron Williams as the instructor. The department was organized in 1912, and Miss Josephine Bowden was elected as its head. Upon her death in 1927, the work was divided among Miss Eleanor Mott, Miss Helen Cooper, and other teachers. This year Mr. Williams has introduced an interesting experiment in his Advanced Composition class which is called co-operation in thinking. The plan is as follows: at each class meeting a member presents his written work for criticism by the class and the jurors who are in charge of the meeting. Suggestions are given by the critics, and the reader may reorganize his thought according to the suggestions. Specified tasks are assigned to the jurors, such as checking sentence structure, word usage, and paragraph structure. To the chair- man is given the responsibility of interpreting the meaning of the entire theme and conducting the discussion in an orderly manner. p Each member of the class sits for conference with Mr. Williams for thirty minutes a week both before and after presentation of his material. The linal judgment as to the quality of the work is made by the instructor. The method introduces a wide range of new ideas from all members of the class. It is hoped, says Mr. Williams, that it will more nearly permit each individual to reach his highest level of co-operation in constructive criticism, Twenty-five l is lp: L ll it gs. - , Q A , 532 f .
