Cornell University has founded
a new division , of the college to
salvage the college careers of stu-
dents who find themselves falter-
ing for one reason or another, a
University professor and head of
the division announced, recently.
The information came in a- re-
port by the head of the division
on the apparent success of the
seven-year-old department, the
Division of Unclassified Students.
Started as an experiment in the
spring of 1952, the division has
become a fixture in the univer-
sity's'. academic structure because
it has been eliminating a tremend-
ous" loss. in. money, time, and
morale to. the University, the stu-
dents' parents, and the students
themselves. The division has per-
mitted 051> students to enter the
unclassified division in its 15
semesters of existence.
Completely tabulated statistics
kepts by the division head showed
that more students abandon engi-
neering than any other division of
the University. Of the 91 students
registered in the unclassified divi-
sion this term, 67 have given up
the study of engineering, statis-
tics show.
According to the head of the
division, too many students enter
engineering because some high
school guidance counselors do not
really know their students, and
often do not know what basic prej,
paration the field involves. |
An engineering career, the uif); '"
