The plan at Oxford, his own inauguration of honors at Swarthmore, its variations the country over, full time and part time; the tutorial and seminar study approach, methods of examination, administrative and financial considerations, the first two years of college and sectioning of students according to ability, graduate study, etc. Not for laymen.
