EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- Will you kindly give me space in your columns to suggest the needs of a descriptive pamphlet in the History Department, and the advantages that such a guide would be to those of us who take up History extensively.

All the data we now have to guide us in our choice of History courses are very slight: for example, take History 13, all that we can find out about this course is what is in the catalogue,- "History 13, Constitutional and Political History of the United States (1783-1861) Tu. Th. Sat.," or "History 5, the conflict of Christianity with Paganism, Origin and Development of the Roman Primacy to its alliance with the Holy Roman Empire, A. D. 800. Tu. Th."

Now, if we could have some clue to the following points: How a course is taught, whether by lectures alone, or in connection with written work; of what it consists; whether the student is expected to write theses; whether a knowledge of French and German and Latin is required or an advantage; how much work is necessary in consulting original authorities in the Library, we could make a much better choice amongst the courses open to us.
