19 3 2 THE BADGER Scott H. Goodnight Dean of Men F. Louise Nardin Dean of Women Deans of Men and Women Tl IF current academic year, the events of which arc chronicled in this volume of the Badger, has brought with it a revision of the college curriculum. The Faculty has loosened up some old requirements, c. it, with regard to foreign language study, and has tightened up others, such as requiring aptitude tests, comprehensive examinations and a higher scholastic rating for passing from the sophomore to tlx- junior year. On the whole, tlx- effect is to liberalize further and to place a higher premium upon independent study and g xxl work, and to penalize more heavily laziness and frivolity. We hope these changes may make for improved educational facilities for future students at Wisconsin. Increased facilities are usually accompanied by increased distractions, and those who have not the ambition and tlx- will power to succeed under present conditions will find themselves equally handicapped under the new You arc completing your Junior year in this University. You have proven your ability to carry college work successfully. You now have a little more than a year ahead of you in which to demonstrate completely your fitness to receive the degree whicn the Faculty is socking to protect for you by raising standards. May you finish the job in a manner that will be a life-long satisfaction to you and that will prepare you for a real place in the work of the world, regardless of the set of scholastic requirements which happens to prevail while you are here. IT is ft happy day when the experience one has been accumulating can become the hasis of a program. Year after year, from interviews on low scholarship or other difficult student adjustments, testimony has been piling up in the office of the dean of women showing that in ideal college housing, each girl would have a nook to which she had undivided right and where she could be complete master of time for study and for sleep. When the builders of Langdon and Ann Hmcry Halls began thinking of these dormitories for women, they invited us to use our experience and make suggestions. We pointed out this fundamental requirement of college housing. The builders gladly took the suggestion. often forgotten by architects who make beautiful exteriors and charming social rooms, and in these new' I lalls three hundred women now have the room of her own which Virginia Woolf has wittily made a sine qua non for woman's achievements and a symbol of fair provision for her needs. So we move on slowly toward our ideal. When the daughters of the class of 1931 arrive at Wisconsin, we hope each will find here all things necessary for the fullest development of her powers, including the room of her own. P lgC 2$-
