Evans, Christ College,June, 1970), established, in the midsixties,the Schools Council General StudiesProject.The Council's report of March 1969 statesthat "The General Studies Project is concernedwith sixth form general education inall its aspects ... the following ... expressingsome of our recent thoughts about generaleducation." The Report continues, listing threeFadvantages of general studies as a mediumof general education.1. General Studies are largely outside theinfluence of the examination system andteachers are therefore more free to adoptas experimental approach.2. General Studies provide a meetingground for sixth formers of different specialismsand of a wide range of abilities.3. They promote the lowering of subjectbarriers and the integration of disciplines.However, as with all experimental projects,there are problems. General shldies are noexception as they lie outside the examinationsystem and are therefore allotted a lowpriority-1. By students who claim they are overburdenedby the demands of examinationsand competitive entry to higher education;2. By teachers who are similarly overburdened;3. By higher education selectors who clutchat matriculation grades as the only externallyauthenicated assessments on application formsthat contain a bewildering assortment of subjectivecommendations and predications; and4. By principals (our own excluded) who,not unreasonably, believe that their schools'reputations depend upon examination successesand therefore give priority in timetableconstruction to the needs of examinationclasses.Further, general studies fit awkwardly intoa sixth form tradition that stresses subjectspecialisation and scholarship in depth. Manyteachers have expressed their reluctance toventure outside their subject for fear bothof lowering the quality of their teaching andof trespassing on the preserves of otherspecialists. Students also are distrustful ofteachers when they do not speak as accreditedexperts. Fortunately these attitudes do notarise at Hutchins, as Masters and Pupils alikeare eager to discover together the knowledgegained from mutual investigation into comparativelyunknown fields.Realising that the benefits of general studiesfar outweighed any disadvantages plusthe problems of organisation and administration,the York Council began to compilestudy courses called "sets." By April 1969 thefollowing were available for use in EnglishSchools-Slavery, The Family, Football, ThePopular Arts, Africa, Sex, Population, Towns,
