Not many Mozart or Haydn symphonies, for example, are over 20 minutes in length. High standards need not be prostituted to economics...
Under a new set-up in the Chemistry Department, the lab work for Chemistry 20 has been cut down, and the Department intends to have all lab hours conform to those stated in the catalogue. A new course, introduction to Research, has been added for senior honors students who can take it with special permission, Chemistry 3, a former half course, has been merged with a full course, Chemistry 40, to produce two half course, Chemistry 40a, Gravimetric and Volumetric Analysis, and Chemistry 40b, Systematic Analysis...

He went to Europe in 1921 ("I was Lord Byron on a triumphal tour. God, it was wonderful!"), and in Rome became engaged...
Last week, however, it was announced that lab work in Chem. 20, which both concentrators and pre-meds must take, would be slashed to conform more nearly to the official description in the course catalogue. During the fall term, checks were made every half hour in Chem. 20 labs to determine just how much time each student was spending there. The survey showed a few men working for almost twice the stated requirement of approximately six hours a week, while the largest proportion of the class was working from eight to nine hours. Under the revised plan, it is expected...
