More predictably, the study also found that ads work best when their content is in harmony with the programs they interrupt.

N.B.: 1a will no longer be offered in the spring, and 1a is no longer a prerequisite for taking...
...five half-courses, one of which must be either Classics 97a or 97b, according to Jan M. Ziolkowski, Porter Professor of Medieval Latin. Students may pick the remaining four half-courses from all those offered in the Classics section of the Course of Instruction, including Core courses and other cross-listed courses.
