Despite its quirks, Brown grading system not the oddest in the Ivies - Campus Watch

Today's electronic Brown Daily Herald has a fascinating article about grading systems in the Ivy League. As a member of the Class of 1975, I was in the second class to complete four years under the New Curriculuum. As a parent of a member of the Class of 2002, I find it interesting to see how little the curriculuum has changed over the past 30+ years. It was not until my younger son went to Roger Williams University, and then my daughter to Boston U, that I realized how unique, and flexible, Brown's curriculuum is.
