...given annually since 1910 under the direction of the Commission on Extension Courses. The chairman is Arthur F. Whittem, associate professor of Romance Languages. Classes are held in the late afternoon and in the evening at various places in Boston and Cambridge. Courses carry credit towards the degree of Adjunct in Arts at Harvard...
