Revised Junior College
Curriculum Adopted by
University System
The adoption of anew curriculum
for junior college wonk in all units of
the University System of Georgia and
tremendous strides in further unifica
tion and co-ordination of scholastic
work were the results of the system
council that convened in Athens
during August.
Mimeographed "textbooks for the
survey courses in the social sciences,
physical and biological sciences, and
mathematics were adopted for use
during the first quarter of this year.
The adoption of other books to be
used -during the next quarters to be
postponed until Thanksgiving meeting
of the body-
The eouncif petitioned the Board of
Regents to set up an ageneey, inde
pendent of any teaching unit, for the
purpose of preparing and correcting
comprehensive examinations of student
work in the survey fields. This step
was considered the most far reaching
in the unification of the work of the
system an-d in a check on scolastic
accomplishment of students and facul
ties.
Chancellor Philip Weltner, who pre
sided over the council, also was peti
tioned by the assembly of one hundred
and fifty to set up immediately uni
form placement and scholastic tests
to be given all freshmen who entered
college in the state system in the fall.
President S. V. Stanford, of the
University of Georgia, proposed scho
lastic divisions to supersede present
departmental divisions as follows: So
cial sciences, sciences and mathematics,
education, and the humanities, (the
last to include literature, the lan
guages, and the fine and practical
arts.)
Faculties of the social sciences, and
of the sciences and mathematics or

individually on a system of points
with five points as necessary for mem
bership in the society- William Kelly
and Virgil Barrett were given invita
tions to the club membership while the
remaining four were given points ac
cording to their placements.
In the near future these foun and

INTERESTING SPEAKERS
IN CHAPEL
Dr. James E. Boyd, of the science
department, was the speaker at the
chapel hour on Friday, October 19, at
which time he gave in a very interest
ing manner the purposes of the new
physical science courses that are be
ing offered in the University system
this year.
He explained that often a student
enters college without any desire to
take any special science course because
he is not acquainted with those that
are offered to him. In many cases,
there ar e only one or two offered and
he takes one of the two because they
are required for his degree. In the
new set-up, a little of the sciences of
astronomy, geology, physics, physical
geography and chemistry is given.
This will give the student entering
college a view of the various courses
open to him in the sciences and will
enable him to take work in the ones
most interesting to him in his later
work.
On Tuesday, October 23, Rev. W. H-
Clark, of the Carrollton First Metho
dist church, gave a timely and inter
esting talk with his subject taken
from the prophecy of Isaiah, “ • • - na *
tions shall not lift np their swords
