The sun is up, so make for a lecture hall and sit in the shade of the podium. Emerson Hall is recommended for this time of day no matter what is being given there; it is air-conditioned and the chairs are soft.
Education S-A-2. 12-1; F, 2-3.
Dr. Robert L. Church, one of Harvard's respected men, is teaching this course on American Education since 1789. It is a lot more interesting that you're probably thinking.
English S-121. 11-12.
Most of your nondramatic poets between Spenser and Milton. Looks to be a fairly tough course, but you get your money's worth from Professor Baker, a Harvard regular who is not to be out-Donne.
History S-155b. 11-12.
Russian History from 1855-1917. Exciting, decadent stuff. Mad monks, Faberge Easter eggs, and more Czars than you can shake a sceptre at. This course is taught by Leopold H. Hamison, a Professor of Russian History at Columbia. Whose Russian Center is comparable to Harvard's. This course looks likes a solid bet.
Economics S-144. 11-12.
Find out what Gardner Ackley is getting at. This course is about Government (that is, our government) Policy towards Business, and it is taught by Martin Oettinger of the University of California. A course for our times.
French S-163. 10-11.
Harvard's Alvin Labat holds forth on the French classical theatre, in French. Should be rigorous, but fun.
For late risers.
Get up, have a little breakfast, and then stop in on a lecture before heading for the Brattle or Fenway Park.
Fine Arts S-76. 12-1. Films: M, W, 2:30-4:30.
This could be the big sleeper of the whole summer school curriculum. Realism and Abstraction in Cinema, 1896-1966, it's called. If you have no vigorous objection to watching movies for credit, this course is probably for you. Richard MacCann, of the University of Kansas Journalism School, runs the show.
