...time, and quite a few 200-level classes as well. But not only the number of courses offered at noon makes students wish they could take more than one at a time: nearly all the major noon-time offerings are survey courses that appeal to concentrators in all fields. Ec. 1, for example, had the largest enrollment in the College last year despite the competition offered by other twelve o'clock classes. Yet nine other courses given at the same time enrolled 100 or more students--Nat. Sci. 5 had 360 and Fine Arts 13, 284. Instead of cutting down...
...camping trip, the offerings at this time are less plentiful than nourishing. Mathematics for poets (Nat. Sci. 114) offers a sampling of what is new and exciting in mathematics, something which concentrators have to wait years for. A full-year course, Bio. 100, systematizes departmental offerings in evolution. Ec. 133, on the economy of Soviet Russia, gives a foundation for deciding whether we are ahead of or behind the Russians when it comes to wheat surpluses...

Nearly all of the writings of Chaucer are arrayed as food for thought in lunchtime English 115, and similarly important Greek literature is studied in Greek 112. Applied Math. 206, "Applied Discrete Mathematics," is a course for which "no specific preparation is suggested, but it is important that the student have a good mathematical background"; clearly, without such a background, he might...
Protestants on Tradition. The dialogue with Rome has contributed to a new concern of Faith and Order's ec umenical theologians-the nature and scope of Christian tradition. Both Rome and Orthodoxy accept apostolic tradition as well as scripture as a fount of Divine Revelation; virtually all Protestants follow the rule of sola scriptura -the Bible alone as the repository of God's message. Yet much of the talk at the Conference was devoted to the way tradition has shaped man's interpretation of the Bible. One probable consequence of this new concern: a re-examination...
