To the Editor of the CRIMSON:
I wish to voice my complete approval of your editorial in Thursday's CRIMSON entitled "Two Years." Although History 1 is one of the hardest courses in the College, especially among those open to Freshmen, it is one of the most beneficial. It is more valuable than any other one course. But it should cover more material and count as two courses to be most helpful. Columbia's "Contemporary Civilization" and "Science Survey" courses should be reproduced here. For those who are not concentrating in science, the latter course would be more profitable than one year in some one science. The former course, on the world today, would enable students to see the world in one view, rather than from several uncoordinated viewpoints, each inadequate in itself. Such two year or double courses in European history, science, and contemporary civilization would greatly aid Harvard in fulfilling its purpose--to graduate not men with hazy, inaccurate, poorly organized ideas, but intelligent, informed, able citizens.
