Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Points at Issue: And Some Other Points [The particular state of affairs to which this paper was addressed no longer exists. Yale has fallen into line with other colleges in requiring English for admission. Yet recent discussions show that the question of entrance requirements in English - what they should be and whether they should be at all - is still a burning one. The paper is therefore reprinted, without change, from the Educational Review of May, 1892.] The solitary position which Yale occupies - among the New England colleges, at least - in requiring no English at all of candidates for admission to the freshman class, is constantly made the theme of sorrowful or indignant comment in educational journals. Some excitable writers see in the fact evidence of "shameful indifference" or even "hostility" to the English language and its literature. The only concession to the mother tongue made by the catalogue, in the paragraph describing the terms of admission, lies in the words which call for sight translations from prose Latin and from Xenophon "into simple and idiomatic English."
