...sciences, etc. to fulfill the requirement. Clearly, if you are a student with excellent math preparation, say an AP score of 4 or 5, you need have little concern except that you must still take Math 20 or, preferably Math 21. Otherwise, enroll in either Math Ar or Math 1a...
...should not go on. To avoid such discouragements, which often snowball into a disastrous sophomore slump, you should avoid a rough science schedule with inadequate math background as a freshman. If you fear a rough time with chemistry or biology as a freshman, take only Math Ar and Math 1a or Math 1a and 1b and plan to take Nat Sci 3 as a sophomore. And if you find chemistry hard you may well need to strengthen your math background and should consider Math Ar. The worst of all possible worlds is when a freshman loses all his self-confidence...

Physics should be deferred until adequate mathematics preparation has been obtained. Thus, Physics 1 is most appropriately taken after completion of Math 1, although it may be taken after only Math 1a if Math 1a is taken concurrently. Frankly, the physics requirement is perhaps the least important to the medical schools, and if any course is left to the senior year or to the summer-school session before senior year, it should be physics...
...have noticed in a diary that Roosevelt kept during 1902 and 1903, when he was at Harvard. In four entries, there appears a string of numbers and odd symbols. Eventually, a newspaper story produced enough hints from amateur code breakers to show that the numbers stood for vowels (1A, 2-E, etc.), and the symbols were simply unfinished letters. The surprisingly tame translation: "Spent the evening on the lawn and Alice confided in me." Next day: "Worried over Alice all night." Seven months later: "The Commonwealth sails for Europe." Nine months later: "After lunch, have a never-to-be-forgotten...
