In these higher level seminars there is no place for the most intrepid undergraduate. The English and History Departments have already tightened the Ph.D. requirements, in an effort to give the GSAS student a more concentrated and individualized professional training. The Government Department, too, is in the process of revising its program. But whereas graduate training is made more rigorous on its higher levels, the conference courses remain static. Although both graduates and undergrads are nominally subject to the same requirements...
