English C is the simplest and most popular of the composition courses. Taught entirely in sections, it requires 1000 words a week, usually of the student's own choice with an emphasis on style rather than content. English K and L cover the short story and English M and R cover exposition.

American Division

American Literature is probably the weakest of the three sections. Professor Jones' English 170 runs the full year in two half courses, covering the field from 1890 to the present. Professor Miller runs English 7, covering American literature from "the beginning to the present" Most of the other American Li courses are restricted to graduates and the major is virtually forced to concentrate in English Writers.

The English writers, however, are very well covered with numerous lecture courses and conference groups. There are courses on both periods and on individual authors. The "Drama since Ibsen" course, English 160; "Forms of the Modern Novel," Comp. Lit. 166; Professor Bush's course on Milton, English 131 are all popular. Courses on practically all the "giants" provide almost unlimited choice within the field.

Students who wish to major in English and "minor" in an allied field will get two years of tutorial in English and one in the allied field.

Far Eastern Languages

Number of Concentrators: 2.

While the Far East is one of the most interesting fields in the Social Sciences, undergraduate concentration in Far Eastern Languages is discouraged. The Language courses are not the way to begin familiarity with this controversial area.

Department Chairman Serge Elisseeff cautions undergraduates not to concentrate in his field unless they already have a solid background in one of the Asiatic Languages (i.e. Chinese or Japanese). Instead, he recommends courses taken from the fields of History and Government which offer a thorough study of the Far East.

Concentrators in Far Eastern Languages must include six courses in or related to the fields, of which at least four must be in the Department of Far Eastern Languages. Honors candidates must take seven courses in the field, of which ordinarily five should be in the Department.

Fine Arts

Number of Concentrators: 86.

1952 Commencement Honors: cum, 6; magna, 3.

With an expanding faculty, reorganized courses, and the best facilities of any college in the country, the fine Arts Department loans forward, ready for the student interested in getting a broad understanding of history and culture.

It turns away from the budding artist, suggests that he look elsewhere for his training, and reminds the prospective major that it guarantees no positions for men who graduate with just an A.B. degree in the field.
