. C CC To every freshman who enters Knox is as- signed a tutor, who is a member of the faculty. On the basis of the comprehensive examina- tions given the freshman, the tutor enrolls the student in courses that will enable him to achieve the goals of a General Education. This 'is also assisted by individual work with his tutor in preparation for passing the gen- eral achievement examinations covering the six areas of education: Arts and Literature, English, natural sciences, social sciences, for- eign language, and mathematics. Through this system of close faculty guidance, the student should be able to pass his six compre- hensive examinations before the end of the year.
