It started with a dead bug. The squashed insect dropped into a typewriter at the Ministry of Information Retrieval; a bureaucrat typed the name Tuttle instead of Buttle; and poor apolitical Mr. Buttle, instead of the swashbuckling terrorist Tuttle, was taken away to be tortured and killed.

Instead, the additional courses--totalling at least four semesters initially--are intended to supplement Fine Arts 13, which traces the history of art and architecture from prehistory to Picasso.
The new sequence will include courses on Near Eastern and Far Eastern art and architecture, ancient and medieval architecture, and Renaissance and modern architecture, said Department Chairman Neil Levine.
The creation of specific architecture courses will reflect the growing view that the study of buildings is a self-contained discipline independent of art history.
Levine said department members are still discussing the possibility of creating two additional semester-long courses, one on the art of tribal societies and another on the art and architecture of the Americas. But the department will likely need to hire additional faculty members to teach these courses.
