The answer to the last two questions must come from the freshman himself. Is he really interested in chemistry? In science in general? In the words of Professor Bartlett, "Thought patterns involved in the study of Chemistry are not so esoteric; almost anyone really interested can do the required work."

Classics

Number of Concentrators: 54.

1951 Commencement Honors: cum, 3; magna, 4; summa, 1.

The Classics Department boasts one of the highest ratios of full professors to students in the College. There are nine professors to only 54 students in the field--a proportion which makes for much better personal relationships.

Most of the nine along with the five other department members give tutorial to concentrators in Group IV and above. In the past sophomores and juniors have received group tutorial with senior honors candidates doing individual work. The average size of each group is about four students, and this year 35 concentrators receive tutorial.

Classes in the department are also small except for beginning Latin and Greek which usually include freshmen trying to pass their language requirements. These elementary courses for the most part repeat the regular secondary lessons in Cicero. Virgil, Homer, and Caesar. Nightly reading assignments are given, and those in the courses find it almost essential to keep up with the work.

Upperclass courses in the department range all over the field of Classical poetry, drama, and history. Students who reach this level may also combine Classics with some other allied major such as Philosophy, History, or even English.

Only one major change is envisioned in the field for next year. Eric A. Havelock, professor of Greek and Latin, will substitute a study of the Growth of the Greek Intellect from Thales to Plato in Greek 108a for this year's half-term on Plato's Republic.

Classics concentrators are only required to take six courses in the field, with one more necessary for honors candidates. Two kinds of degrees are given at Commencement: In Linguls and in Litris. The former requires passing several composition courses in the language, though usually no thesis is required. Theses are usually mandatory for the latter degree. General exams are necessary in any case, and special exams may also be required.

Economics

Number of Concentrators: 398.

1951 Commencement Honors: cum, 28; magna, 18; summa, 2.

For the analitically minded who wants a top flight background in the theoretical and practical workings of the production, distribution, and consumption of wealth, Economics is his meat.

Although the department boasts a number of nationally known economists, undergraduates, unfortunately do not have much opportunity to meet them.
