Professor McCloskey rounds out this section with a dry course in Constitutional Development, which is required, however, of concentrators in the American division.

Tutorial here depends on the student. You've got to drive to get any attention in this most crowded of fields--but if you do you can land a good tutor (the non-permanent level in this area is good) and there are lots of fine thesis topics to be worked on.

International law and relations is probably the most general but most interesting section of the department, as for as the average sudent is concerned. Professor Wild leads the group as a lecturer here, giving an excellent fall term course in international law with a slightly less good follow-up in America's role in world politics.

Professor Hopper's two classes in Russia and Europe in current international relations are both interesting and easy, although he tends to wander off into the realms of cosmic generalities at times. The reading is good, and Hopper's application of his philosophy of history to present conditions makes good listening.

Professor Emerson, the head of the department, rounds out the bulk of the international section with a course on International Organization and one on Nationalism in International Relations. Unfortunately he is by far the dullest lecturer of the group and his classes suffer accordingly.

Bear Hits the Spot

Aside from Friedrich's Gov 106, the theory side of Government in conducted at a less intense level. Professor Wright's course in American Political Thought has been temporarily abandoned with the professor's departure; but this is no great loss. Far better courses are given by Professor Beer, a stimulating lecturer and one of the bright young men of the Department. Both his classes in Comparative and Parliamentary Government are well worth taking.

Professor Fainsod, who unfortunately has given up most of his undergraduate connections to work at the Russian research center, still gives one half course in Dictatorship which is both thorough and valuable.
