WHAT IS YOUR CHIEF REGRET IN REGARD TO YOUR COLLEGE COURSE? About seventy per cent of the men expressed the regret that they had been unable to select valuable courses because of the several seemingly valueless required courses in their schedules. Another prevalent regret was that too much time had been wasted doing nothing. Other regrets noted were: That I didnit join a country club for four wasteful years . . . That I have not made more acquaint- ances . . . That college doesn't last ten years . . . Failure to mas- ter any musical instrument . . . That I did not finish . . . Too much regimentation . . . That I was not allowed to decide whether or not I should go to college. I was sent . . . Lack of funds re- stricted my social life at Yale . . . That I made no attempt to know my instructors. WHAT is YOUR ADVICE TO FRESHMIENP Most of us agreed that it was a waste of time to advise Freshmeng we remember what unheeding Hrst-year men we were. Some, how- ever, were willing to impart some of the wisdom gained during their four years of hard work . . . Find out in a hurry what col- lege is all about . . . All the so-called gut courses have been re- modeled. Beware! . . . Work like the dickens during the fall termg you will want something to fall back on . . . Don't believe all of what you read and believe only half of what you are told . . . Meet and know all the people you can and indulge in extra-curricu- lar activities . . . Come Shelf . . . Even if you get the boot, don't lose hope. Try again . . . Get all the foolishness out of your head as soon as possible . . . Unless a Freshman has a definite objective in mind at the completion of his first year, let him get a job and get started.
