President Lowell, Eaton, and Leighton Will Speak--Blanks to be Mailed at End of Week

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The first official step in preparing members of the Freshman class for the choice of their future field of concentration will take place on April 4, when the first-year men will assemble in the New Lecture Hall at 9 o'clock.

This arrangement announced yesterday by Delmar Leighton '19, Chairman of the Committee on the Choice of Electives, is in line with the procedure followed in previous years. Blank study cards and a pamphlet published jointly by the Committee on the Choice of Electives and the CRIMSON will be distributed among the Freshmen several days before the meeting in order to familiarize them with the problem.

Lowell to Speak

At the meeting on April 4, President Lowell, Professor R. M. Eaton, Ph.D., '17, head tutor in the Department of Philosophy, and Mr. Leighton will address the first year men. The topic of President Lowell's talk will be, "Choosing a Field of Concentration". Professor Eaton will explain tutorial work and tutorial conferences, while Mr. Leighton will discuss the problem of Sophomore courses.

Pamphlets Mailed

During the three weeks between April 4 and April 24, exclusive of the vacation week, representatives of all the various departments will hold office hours for Freshmen, at which times they may be consulted concerning their respective departments. The study cards for the first half of next year are due at University Hall on Wednesday, April 24 and at the same time each Freshman must hand in a tentative list of courses in the field in which he is concentrating. Since both the study card and the tentative list of courses must be approved by the faculty advisors and the heads of the departments Mr. Leighton requested that all Freshman attend to the matter early to avoid a general rush on the last few days.
