Two other interesting and specialized course are Maass" 157-Government and the Conservation of Natural Resources and Huntington's 159-Government and Defense.

Political Theory

The most difficult of the three areas is Political Theory and Comparative Government. Certainly the hardest course in the department and probably one of the most difficult in the college is Friedrich's 106--History of Political Thought, which traces political philosophy and jurisprudence from antiquity through the 20th century. Almost all honor's candidates take this course since they are required to answer a question on political theory on the general exam.

Other good courses in this area are McCloskey's 107, American Political Thought, Beer's basic but difficult 112--Parliamentary Government and Fainsod's top-notch course on Dictatorship and the Government and Politics of the Soviet Union. Cherington will be teaching a new course next year on Canadian Government and Institutions.

The third area, International Law and Relations features two difficult but good courses by dynamic McGeorge Bundy on Principles of International Politics and the United States in World Politics.

Cheever's 190--Conducted Control of Foreign Policy and Emerson's two courses on Imperialism and Nationalism are all good and well-liked.

International Relations

Colorful Bruce Hopper gives two courses, Europe in World Politics and Russia and Asia in World Politics, while Inis Claude gives both International Law and International Organization.

As one of the five major fields, Government offers group tutorial for both sophomores and non-honors juniors. Honors seniors and so far as possible, honors juniors get individual tutorial.

Almost any student interested in the field of Government can be sure of finding eight or ten interesting and worthwhile courses among the 36 regularly open to undergraduates. Its a field which offers something to fit almost anyone's interests and tastes and thus make a good major for students with a wide variety of types and abilities.

History

Number of Concentrators: 354.

1952 Commencement Honors: cum, 24; magna, 25; summa, 0.

At a History tutorial meeting last year the instructor in charge idly asked one promising member of his six-man tutorial group whether he intended to be a historian after Commencement. The student replied politely that he liked history and that he seemed to do quite well in it, but that he was going to medical school. Surprised, the tutor put the same question to the other students. Out of the six honors juniors in History, four turned out to be practicing pre-meds, and the other two were undecided about their careers.

This is not to say that History rivals Bio-Chemistry as a refuge for the grunt-and-grind boys, but as a field it does present unique opportunities for the man who is undecided about his future or who wants a solid social sciences background without cramping his pre-professional training. Its adaptability is due to the fact that only six courses are required for honors candidates, and two of these may be from related fields. Thus there are honors seniors in the field who have taken but three courses with the actual label "History."
