Princeton University
Assistants in Instruction

It is our confident hope that

[the introduction of precepts]

will bring about very gratifying

results: that the undergraduate

will take more pleasure in his

studies, derive more profit and

stimulation from them, and that

the instructor will find vital

intercourse with his pupils....

There will be more work done,

but it will be less burdensome both

to teacher and pupil, more

normal, less like a body of tasks and

more like a natural enjoyment

of science and letters.

--Woodrow Wilson (President 1902-10)
