Two new courses, Economics 100 and 102, will give honors concentrators increased opportunity to meet with instructors in small groups, Seymour E. Harris '20, chairman of the Department of Economics, said yesterday.
Economics 100 will be offered next year as a full course with enrollment limited to 15 juniors who are honors candidates. It will deal with the theory of wages and prices, and with problems of public policy in industrial organization and labor.
Meeting as a two hour weekly seminar Economics 100 will stress papers by students, small group discussions, and opportunity for individual conferences with staff members.
A similar honors course for seniors, Economics 102, will be given in 1957-58. Covering money and finance, it will operate in the same manner as Economics 100.
Economics 107, now a full course on consumption, distribution, and prices, will be divided into two half-courses next year. Economics 107a, in the fall term, will deal with consumer demand, and Economics 107b in spring will cover distribution. Richard H. Holton, assistant professor of Economics, who now teaches the full course, will teach both subjects next year.
Harris also announced the appointment of Stefan Valavanis as assistant professor in Economics.
