Most significant is the fact that the Department has not been content with this; that, as Professor Mather says elsewhere in this issue, to the other requirements of a degree from Harvard College in geology has been added an ability, certified by General Examination to orient oneself within the entire field. Only the first tentative year of the tutorial system, in the Department of History, Government and Economics, takes precedence over the experiment of the Departments of Geology and Biology.
