Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Conference of the President and Faculty of Bowdoin College With the Principals and Assistants of the Secondary Schools of Maine Concerning Entrance Examinations: February 17, 1900
The conference was opened by President Hyde, who explained that the purpose of the meeting was not only to secure a better understanding between the secondary schools and the college in regard to entrance examinations, but also to secure, if possible, for the future a more hearty co-operation in regard to the work of preparation for college. President Hyde said-that the plan pro posed for discussion was, that each subject required at entrance should be taken up in turn and introduced by the instructor at the head of the department in college. After this introduction, the subject was to be thrown open for general discussion. He hoped that all the teachers present would take this occasion for an honest expression of opinion; the college would present its side, and it was certainly to be desired that no one should hesitate to point out any faults or shortcomings which seemed evident in the college examination system.
