THE CHAUTAUQUA UNIVERSITY.
THE CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOLS.
BY PROF. R. S. HOLMES, A.M.
“What is the relation of the Correspondence Schools to the University?”
“I am a member of the Correspondence Class in German; am I also a member
of the University?”
Correspondents have recently asked these questions. They are important
enough to receive public answer, since they represent many of the same
import. They exhibit an uncertainty concerning the relation of the
University to other Chautauqua institutions, which should be removed. To
accomplish it is our present purpose.
We answer the first easily. There is no relation between the University
and the Correspondence Schools; the latter have ceased to exist as
separate institutions. We answer the second easily, though this answer
may seem to contradict the former. A member of the Correspondence Class
in German is, and is not, a member of the University. Both answers are
true. The separate existence of the Correspondence School has ceased,
but its existence in the University as the College of Modern Languages
continues.
Again, although members of the Correspondence School are thus in the
University, they are not matriculated members, not having met the
matriculation requirement. The faculty is unchanged. Dr. Worman directs
the College of Modern Languages; Prof. Lalande the Department of French.
