...obvious seriousness in the field. It seems to be usually filled by students who are not sure just how much chemistry they know, and who need to be smoothed over into college scientific study, or at least stalled off for a semester from such gruelling laboratory orgies as Chemistry 3a or 33. All in all it lacks a definite educational aim, and attempts only to fill in the gaps and polish up on the methods of such surveys as Chemistry...

...particular selection of courses, it is impossible to advise the Freshman what to take next year. Most Sophomores in the department take Mathematics 2, Physics 1, and either Physics 2a or 3a. The curriculum to be followed, however, largely depends on the preferences of the individual...
...scholastic courses, those given by Dr. Davison and Mr. Woodworth, are especially valuable. Chief among these is Music 3a, The History of Choral Music. In this course the lectures are only a framework; the body of the work is a series of reports based on the examination of scores. The examinations are different from all others in the Department, stressing the "case method," in which the student makes out cases to identify excerpts from works of the composers and periods studied. This course is especially valuable, not only for the subject matter, but for the development of the scholastic point...
...young chemist successfully weathers the storms of these earlier courses (notably Chem 6, which is the transition between elementary and advanced work), he enters those which may be called "advanced." They are Chem 3a-b, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 13. The undergraduate may be able to include these all in his schedule, but ordinarily he doesn't. He begins to turn to one of the sub-divisions of the field: organic, physical, or analytical chemistry...
