These qualifications still leave the concentrator with a great deal of room in which to move around. The non-honors concentrator must take 12 half-courses, four of which may be in related fields. These related fields include Comp. Lit., English and American History, Philosophy, and Fine Arts.

On the other hand, the honors concentrator must take eight full courses, of which three may be in related fields. He must also have three years of high school Latin or Greek, or two years and the equivalent of Latin Ab. Almost forty percent of English concentrators are honors candidates.

Concentrators are permitted to take no more than one course in composition each year, and no more than three advanced courses altogether. English C. conducted entirely in sections, remains the most popular of the courses. Professor Guerard's English J. writing and criticism of fiction, Dr. Kempton's English L, the short story, and Professor MacLeish's advanced writing course, English S, are also offered.

Several Comp. Lit. courses enjoy a great deal of popularity among English concentrators. Professor Levin will give Proust, Joyce and Mann next spring, and Guerard will give forms of the short novel, and Hardy, Conrad, and Gide.

In American literature however, there is so such abundance or variety of courses to choose from. After Dr. Paul left last year, the number of advanced courses in the field began to decrease steadily. Professors Miller and Murdock unify the diverse reading matter of the survey--course, English 7, with entertaining lectures. Next year, Professor Jones will give both parts of English 170, American literature from 1890 to the present.

Far Eastern Languages

Concentrators: 1.

The field of Far Eastern studies has in the past two years assumed tremendous importance to this country. It is one of the most interesting of all social sciences fields, and Harvard has one of the nation's best departments. But if you're interested in the Far East, don't concentrate in Far Eastern Languages.

Serge Elisseeff, department chairman, definitely discourages undergraduates from concentrating in his field unless they already have a solid background in some Asian language. For the man interested in the area but with no previous background, there are sub-divisions in History and Government which are his best bet.

Fine Arts

Number of Concentrators: 72.

1951 Commencement Honors: cum, 2; magna, 1.

It takes a level mixture of guts and interest to major in Fine Arts. Whereas concentrators in the sciences, or in Government, History, and Social Sciences can alt--back after graduation and wait for the offers to roll in, the Fine Arts graduate must make his career without much help from his A.B.

Each year there are about seventy men and women who take courage in their hands and walk into Fogg Museum with the intention of majoring in Fine Arts. From then on they will leave the building only to eat and sleep, for the Museum and the Fine Arts department are bedfellows of long standing.

In an average year half of the concentrators in this department goes into professional work connected with the fine arts, while the other half generally finds work in television, interior decorating, theatre, and professions that require a background of practical and intellectual knowledge of art.
