Second, a freshman t esting program was begun to provide counselors with accurate data regarding the student' s academic aptitude as well as per sonality traits . Third, channels were established with the Registrar's Office so that transcripts and grade records were made avai labl e to counselors. Accordingly, stud ents are grouped on the ba sis of major and interest under a faculty counselor whose responsibility it becomes to guide each student of his group through college years and to r ecommend him to the Qualifi cations Committee for graduation when his schooling t erminat es.
