Third, fourth, and fifth on the list are respectively Bio-Chemical Sciences, History, and Romance Languages; the figures for these approach very closely those recorded from the class of 1934 last spring. Among the numerically less conspicuous fields, the enrollment in Philosophy, the Classics, and Astronomy have fallen off by approximately half the totals for last year. Another not able trend brought out by the statistics is the increased interest in Psychology, and Anthropology, indicated by the doubly large registration in those fields this year as compared with 1931. This year's Freshman class numbers about 40 less men than...
...Department of Bio-chemistry which was founded five years ago has encountered a grave difficulty in trying to accomplish its purpose. It attempts to supply a general scientific foundation for students planning to go to the Medical School. The difficulty arises from the fact that the Department is forced to straddle the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology with the tutorial conferences as the only connecting link...
...Since Bio-chemistry offers no courses of its own, it has to depend on the other three Departments for instruction. These are planned for the students concentrating in them, and not for those needing a more general knowledge. The Bio-chemistry student should cover the basic work in each subject rapidly, and then proceed to advanced courses. But the fundamental courses which he needs are not given so that he can take them consecutively. For instance, in Zoology the three courses which are prerequisite to advanced work are given during the first half of the year. Since the first...
There is no reason why the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology should not cooperate better with that of Bio-chemistry, and give the courses so that they may be taken consecutively by Bio-chemistry concentrators. If this change were made, a student would be able to do in a year and a half what now takes twice that time...
