HARVARD TURNS MORE TO STUDY

The article, dated “N.Y. Ed. June 16, '25”, is a report on a study by President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard University released in June 1925. It discusses significant changes to Harvard’s educational policies aimed at increasing focus on scholarship and reducing distractions for students. Key points from the article, indicated by bold sub-headings, include:

• DISCUSSES SOME POLICY CHANGES: President Lowell addressed a decline in scholastic standards among undergraduates and outlined reforms.
• EDUCATIONAL CHANGES: The report notes that while Harvard graduates top students, it struggles with the academic performance of its average students. The president discusses dividing the student body into groups based on ability, requiring more serious study from all, and implementing stricter requirements for a degree.
• WORK EVENLY: He argues against the “system of ambition” that leads students to take on too many activities and courses, advocating for a more balanced and focused approach to studies.
• OBJECT OF STUDY: Lowell urges students to engage with the “very nature of the transition from adolescence to mature manhood” and to avoid superficial study.
• BETTER SCHOLARSHIP: He calls for greater attention to under-graduates, suggesting faculty members should not be so focused on graduate schools or research that they neglect undergraduates.
• ARE GOOD STUDENTS: Lowell states that good students are not rare (“one-fourth of the new freshmen... are capable of doing good work”) and that the university should aim to make average students better.
• DEPARTMENT GROUPING: He notes that the growth of specialized departments has fragmented learning, separating students by subject and leading to a loss of “breadth of culture.”
• BUILDING PLANS: The article ends with a brief mention of new building plans at the university.
