The Bachelor of Philosophy (Ph.B l

f inished work required m the Poet Grad
uation Studies program is a recognised

PGS offers a broad curriculum of hu
manities for students to chooee from.
Ctairees range through the fields of his
tory, literature, economics, and some non
technical scientific courses The purpose
of PGS is to give AAM graduates the op-
pnrtumtf’ to continue a helpful reading
and study program after their graduation.
To encourage th* post graduation inter
est by students, the Collage has estab
lished PGS to give a second degree, the
Ph.B

cation is obtained while the student is ful
ly employed Thus, the coat of this edu
cation which is equivalent to the work of
cloner to tb« College by making them feel
that the Cottage has a continuing intereit
m their welfare.
“Fourth, we hofie our plan will encour
age our graduates to «Uy in the getting-
an-education group. That ia. education is
a proceaa. not something that is done and
over with .. . Considenng the amount of
knowledge mankind has accumulated, it
is becoming increasingly essential for the
college to convince As graduates that they
are only on the threshold of learning.
Boiled ddam into one sentence we hope
that four. five, or more year* of part time
stady and reading will set a pattern that
will endure m some degree throughout a
lifetime.
“Fifth, we hojie that the amount of
writing a student must do in completing 36
credit hours of correspondence work will
materially improve hi* word ability. . . .
Not everyone knows that it takes a great
deal of practiae to produce a significant
improvement in writing, although most
)W<iple would agree that it would take a
lot of practice at teruup in order to play a
good game ’

only a fraction of the cost of the same

Second, the student is more mature

■'Third, we hofie to bind our alumni
i/.in" ami Maturity . . .
The old old question of collegiate has-
i|tg practices has been brought to the fore
hgam with tragic abruptness by the death
of one student and serious injury of an
other in a fraternity hazing stunt at Wit
tenberg college in Ohio By coincidence
this occurred only a few <iays after a small
s4r created by a hazing incident at anoth-
ft Ohio college in Youngstown in which
4%ht men were left stranded on a I,ake
I?rie breakwater in the middle of the night
There were no serious consequences, but
there might have been if a storm had aris
en
Every coliege and university faces the
question of whether to |»erm!t hazing ami
if so to what extent it should be controlled.
The kindest thing *hich can be said for
the custom is that it i* a mask of the im
maturity of the students Most college
administrators agree that their students

Truly, the Pont Graduation Studies and
its degree, the Ph.B., should be investi
gated and conuidered by every student of
A&M past or present.
neid some officially sanctioned isitlets for
the urgtw of immaturity Should hazing
be one of these accepted outlets’’
The fact that tragedy results is not
the only reason for raising the question
When hazing is a prerequisite to member
ship in a campus society, somehow a dis-
proportsmste im|x»rtanre becomes at-
-gach«*d to it, s student m isitracizeil if he
