Three factors make the English Department an enigma for this year. First, the loss of Professor Greenough and of Professor Lake cannot help but be felt. Only Professor Lowes now remains of Harvard's legendary English teachers. Second, the basic changes in the tutorial staff means that a large number of students in the field will have to find new tutors, and the Sophomores will, in general, get newly appointed tutors who have yet to learn the ropes. Finally, the omitting of such a basic course in the field as 52, Victorian Literature, is difficult to condone, especially since criticism...
...gives an economic approach to America. The most important course to the American concentrator is 63; although his humor is pleasant. Professor Schlesinger's lectures are on the whole dull.

It was rejected. Jewish musicians, actors and production managers, he decided, wanted the girls themselves. For the next 337 pages of Trifles...
...knowledge of Psychology is of especial value for careers in medicine, teaching, psychiatry, social work, and advertising. It is not as valuable as it might be, however, for concentrators felt that too much time was given to psycho-physics, and not enough to practical human psychology. Course 17 in Child Psychology, a new course in a much needed subject, was disappointing in that too much attention was given to pure statistics...
