Objections Overruled

In answer to the first objection the staff are definitely not fulfilling this function. In a final evolution of this function, if practised, we would have the suggested regimentation suggested at the meeting of the Auckland Board that in B.Sc. courses the student is told what subjects to take according to what he is advancing. This is steretypy in its worst form and when, if ever, put into practise, we'll be able to advertise ourselves as a night school quite openly.

The second objection can be answered by the fact that the committee will be composed of students from all subjects and thus biasses will tend to cancel. Also it would be endeavoured to have average people and not the very brilliant ones as advisers. I don't think that there would be very much trouble in getting people to sit on this committee as most honours students want to help freshers along.

I invite correspondence about this plan giving your opinions and suggestions for on them depends the final judgment whether the scheme is practicable or not.
