...English 170d, and History 62b (the best American history course offered at Harvard, in the almost unanimous opinion of students in the field). Group IV finds the first undergraduate poetry course to be offered in at least two years competing with Professor Schlesinger's History 63. As an added fillip, Fine Arts 7f, a survey course in American painting, completes the fatal trilogy in Group IV. To fill the serious gap in American literature offerings, Professor Murdock is repeating his course on the American novel in the nineteenth century, English 170c.

They gave a mild fillip to a classic story, but they did not make for an effective play. This Antigone, barring its one big clash between despot and defier, was flat, fumbly theater. This Antigone, shorn of her Resistance aura, was unmoving and unreal. And in a modernish setting, the burial issue on which...
