OLD IDEA ABOLISHED Cozlrpreiensive Examination to Permit Commencement as Ability Affords. Action taken Wednesday by the f~cuIty, adac trustees at the Uni- versity of Chicago yesterday was sein ,. one of the most radical experihmnts ever recorded in edu- cation and teaching. Plans for the creation of a newI type of college are being formu- lated by which the student will be! able to graduate w;henever he can pass a comprehensive examination. It .will replace the present system at Chicago which resembles in, many respects the fixed and formal' ~lucational system in operation at MVichigan. Left to Student. Under the new plan, a genius Inay get through in two months, 1 a brilliant student in a year, and the one who enjoys the social side cif college life may loaf along for. biir years. Then there is a passing and weeding, but no degree. The atuden Le upon whom the university t ifls it worth while to spend more ti me and money will then go on in special courses, b)ut still with no tfhiae hmiitatwos, where they will b~e given degrees. 'the present- graduate school is to' go and in place of this and the present undergraduate courses, the anon-pro fessionali training will be 'divided into live main sections, each with a dean. These are the social sciences division, the biolo- daol ciences division, the humani- ties division, and the college. Change l'uwdget system. In the upper divisions the stud- ent will be graduated by passing an examination whenever he is able. The i-onrrrofessional degrees will be awarded here, incl-adin~g the equiv- alent of the 8.1 degree, now grant- ed at the end of four year's work.I The professional schools will award all professional degrees. The bache- lbr's, master's and doctor's degrees 'are to be granted on the recoin- fiendation of the entire division' and not one department. Qrie of the important changes introduced will be in the budgeting system. Div ...::. "conj unction with the Allied Florists' ..:.; ..
