Stanley Edgar Hyman might
be called a critic of critics; he is
especially interested tn evaluat­ing
the modern critical approaeh·

seeks a fuU richness from the
works he criticizes. He holds i.n
special regard men like Ernest
Jones and William Empson, who
bring to light the psychological
undercurrents in literature. Mr.
Hyman's fresh. full approach is
exemplified in his book. The

Gleaner Focus:
Are Comps Necessary?
"How do 1 feel about comprehensives? rm petrified."
Attitudes of mystery, fear and anger surround the phenome·
non of senior comprehensives. What do 1 have to know? Will 1
graduate if 1 fail? Why do we have to take them? These are
the questions running through the minds of many students,
especially the upperclassmen.
This· is the first or a two-part series on "Comprehen­sives-
Are They Necessary?" In order to explore this subject.
we spoke with nine faculty members, including seven depart.
ment heads. They were open and candid in expressing their
views, which are presented for your consideration. As a
follow-up, we will contact seniors after they have taken their
examinations, and correlate the effects they have felt with
the aims their professors have stated. Those viewpoints will
be presented in the next issue of Gleiner.
For Consideration
Since the philosophy department does not run a major,
Sister Jane felt that she could not speak with authority on
the subject. She did, however, otTer some suggested questions
wh!ch could guide an investigation. We offer these for your
consideration:
1. Does study for comprehensives stimulate a more
significant grasp of subject matter?
2. Is some of the discontent with comprehensives due
simply to the repugnance that any human being experiences
when faced with a hurdle?
3. Could some conditions be arranged that would help
relieve the experience of pressure that tends to detract (rom
the values that may be ach!evable through comprehensives?
4. Precisely what causes the tension in relation to taking
comprehensives• Is it fear of failing. or getting a low mark.
of showing up poorly with peers? How valid are these fears?
With these questions as a guideline, let us look at some
of the purposes or comprehensives.
Departmental Opinion
The chemistry examination. according to Sister Marie
Augustine, aims to determine the student's integrated out·
look on the whole field. It tests her "ability to summarize and
develop. to do rational thinking. to evaluate, to solve prob·
!ems." The comprehensive "cuts across course lines:· and
the student uses knowledge from many ditrerem courses in
answering questions. U the student has studied properly for
the comprehensives. it is a great satisfaction for her to see
how much she has learned in her field.
Sister Thomas Marion feels that the comprehensive
" forces the student to arrive at a kind of mastery of her
subject th.at she would otherw:se not have been motivated
to achieve.'' Sister points out that " the notion of the compre·
hensive is a carry over from the European system which doe~
not deal in piecemeal learning. but which assumes that at
the end of your study you have been appreciably altered by
your experience with literatu re. There is no point is ignoring
or minimizing the physical strain which comprehensives
cause in the student," but nevertheless, says Sister. they are
a " necessary learning experience."
The comprehensives. in Dr. Gwinn's estimation, enable
the proCessors to "see how students have come in learning
the techniques or reasoning and study in their fields.'' He
sees them as a challenge to the students. but also as valu.
able "in giving them a measure of satisfaction and still let.
ting them realize that there is a lot more to be learned.'' He
feels that the examinations "should not be so difficult as to
be unanswerable, but that they should be a challenge."
11A Lear·ning Experience"
Over and over, the same phrases appear in the profes·
sors' comments- "a learning experience," " enables them
to cor relate," "see things they never really understand be­fore,"
"synthesize," "a deep and most abiding sat isfaction."
The comprehensives then, at least in theory, are a valuable
and necessary part of the college student's education. .
It has been suggested that the comprehensives are
unnecessarily duplicated by the graduate records, or that
the comprehensives are merely an instrument to force the
students to study for graduate records. Speaking for his own
field, Dr. Gwinn disagrees. He notes that the comprehensives
in history cover m'uch material which the graduate records
ignore; the graduate records are " present-minded," and con·
centrale on history after the French Revolution. Dr. Gwinn
feels that graduate records are "almost impossible to study
for," but that study for comprehensives is an indirect
preparation for them. He also points out that the aim or
the graduate records is in part the determination of the
person's aptitude for being a graduate student. Questions
are thus geared to this aim.
French students in teacher preparation take a battery
of tests put out by the Modern Language Association (MLA).
The NYS Department of Education has asked all colleges and
universities to use these examinations in certifr.ing language
teachers. They cover the four language skills: listening.
speaking, reading and writing, plus civilization, applied

It occurred to me that tomorrow is the beginning or
thirteen-day vacation for all good Nazareth girls. In the sa
breath. it also occurred to me that this marks the beginni
of a little "review period" for all good Nazareth seniors.
To elaborate: Springtime naturally means time for spo
on the old NCR playground. And what's more, it's time on
again for our favonte sport QUIZ-THE-KIDS, often reterm
by its numerous devotees Comprehensive Examinations.
Now the only group eligible to participate in this spri
activity is the senior group, being as the~'ve been aroun
here for nearly !our years now. and bemg as this live
game entails tactics and moves that underclassmen ha1•
never even see n be(ore.
The only catch to the enjoyment the seniors can deriv
from this participation is that training for the sport begi
during the above-mentioned Easter vacation. And with t
constant pr~clk~ thAt is nt>ct>ssary, the poor ceniors won't
able to engage in too many other activities during th~
Easter vacation. But let's not pity the seniors too muc
After all. nothing can take the place of the refreshment a
relaxation they'll find while playing at their little game. F
four years they've been waiting for this moment. And it
come. At last they can t ake time out from their monotono
study-day to curl up beside their favorite shady tree with
tall glass or lemonade and 16 notebooks or their major su
ject spread before them. Ah bliss!
Well, seniors, enjoy your vacation this tlme. And jwl

Discourtesy Decried
Dear Editor:
A regrettable and embarrassin~
situation that exists at Nazareth
College has become increasingly
apparent to us of late. At a num·
ber oJ school sponsored lectures,
(Mr. Ciardi and Father Lamberti
as well as at student meetings.
(class hour, student hour, and
general resident meetings) il has
been noted that a number of our
fellow students were busily knit·
ling while the speaker was ad·
dressing the assembly. This dis·

linguistics, and professional preparation. French students
also take comprehensives, which Dr. Otto feels are necessary
to examine the content of the literature courses.
The music and sociology departments likewise regard
their comprehensives to be essential. Several of the other
departments, however, including mathematics and speech,
said they would "consider" an arrangement whereby students
would prepare over Christmas vacation, and take the gradu.
ate records in January. Those whose scores fell above a cer­!
ain point would be freed from taking comprehensives.
There are several problems. however, with this suggestion.
among them the question of adequate study time for those
who are student teaching.
Several persons contacted pointed out the importance
of good ~tudy meUtud~ fur comprehensive review. Sister
Barbara Ann suggests that the mathematics students cover
the course from a different text book than their own. Thus,
they would be getting the same material but in another pres­entation.
This would eliminate boring repetition. Dr. Gwinn
urges his student~ to review their notes and then turn to
"good general histories- not outlines." Sr. Marie Augustine
suggests broad reading starting from January of the senior
year. All agree that the student must do more than "cram"
to attain the aims for which the comprehensive is designed.
In any event, and from whatever source, there will con.
tinue to be some form of all-inclusive examination in the
senior year. Returning to the questions at the beginning or
this discussion. we see that the major professors would an.
swer in the affirmative to question one. We have explored
question three, but resolution of this question is not entirely
up to any one department. Questions two and four can be
best answered by the seniors, and we will present their views
in the follow·up to this column.

are the nicest in the world."
On the two different sys­tems
