...expect to take further courses in the subject. Those who are taking Physics as a pre-Medical School requirement or for any similar reason should by all means choose the latter rather than the former course because it covers practically the same ground, but omits much of the dull detail, and is therefore considerably easier...
...discouraged by the somewhat dull study of lenses, undertaken in the first three weeks of Physics 2a, will find the rest of the course instructive. Some time is spent in a practical discussion of color effects and photography before more theoretical though elementary considerations of the phenomena of physical optics are taken up. There are five three hour laboratory periods. The scientific student will continue with 2b, and remember 2a as a pleasant introduction to the study of light. The student whose interests are not primarily scientific will do better to take Physics...
Similar to all the elementary language courses, Italian 1 is pleasantly dull. Each day students appear with their reading or composition prepared, and the whole period is devoted to cramming grammar and vocabulary into them. Anyone wishing a reading knowledge in this language will find this course useful.

During the year excerpts from the works of modern authors are read in addition to the first part of "I Promessi Sposi" by Manzoni, which is without...
...student beginning German may be honestly advised to substitute German B for the spotty inefficiencies of German A. For an instructor he will have a master rather than a tyro; in subject matter he will find that the dull necessities are compressed to a tight, clear, concise does made palatable by the chocolate chicle of interesting relevancies. Further, and most important, he will compress into one year the stupid translation which occupies the unenlightened who take German A, German 1, and German 2; he will be able at the end of a year of vigorous, stimulating effort...
...weekly lectures, which are given by an imposing roster of all the shining lights of the department, are lamentably disappointing. The course has been aptly called a revue; it should be added that the songs and dances of the professorial chorines are in the main dusty and dull. Instead of creating vivid pictures of the great English men of letters and their work, most of the lecturers, through sloth or indifference, confine themselves to a leisurely recounting of when an author lived, where he went to school, what he wrote, and what critics have said about him since...
