CORRESPONDENCE COURSES
Correspondence courses are offered not only for college credit, but also for mature students who n eed to earn College entrance credits. These co urses have an advantage over study center courses ill two respects; first, the individual can take what he needs, and second. he can carry the work forward as rapidly as he is able,. Because al these two advantages, correspondence courses have grown in faV: during the past few years. Inasmuch as s ixteen hour.s ear_ned a bsentia may be appli ed toward a degree or a two year diploma. correspondence work is a ppealing strongly both to graduates two year college course who wish to take work toward a degreebefw teaching, and to those students who were compelled to teach ore completing the two year course. . k hi N o student, however, should a ttempt to fake all the wor 'ble, n eeds by study center and correspondence , even if that were poss~ as by doing so he loses the inspira ti·on t hat comes fro~ co.nta;t ultJ· a virile student body and a sympat hetic and e n thu s 1~st1c ac resiThis contact brings about a culture, refinement, and poise that dent attendance only can give. · t' biaok.
