Within the department, students must choose one of six special fields of concentration--economic theory, economic history before 1750, economic history after 1750, money and finance, market organization and control, or labor economics and social reform. There are two divisional examinations at the end of the Junior year, the first covering the general knowledge that the student has gleaned from all the Economics courses he has taken, and the second devoted to testing the student's knowledge on his special field. A candidate for Honors--cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude--must submit a thesis...

Divisional exams strike almost at once: in his Sophomore year a concentrator takes a three-hour Bible and Shakespeare; in the fall of Junior year, two thirty-minute orals on either Ancient or Modern authors and historians depending upon his special field; and in May of the Junior year a four hour qualifying exam if he expects to be an honors candidate. The first two sets of examinations are mostly chores and certainly should not be an obstacle to entering the field. The qualifying exam on the special field...
Geology 2a is absolutely indispensable if you are majoring seriously in the field. Although the only stated prerequisite is Geology 1, don't be misled and take the course without having more experience than the elementary course provides. Junior year will be soon enough. The lab and theory are difficult, and be sure you have your trig in hand. 2b is a dull course, but it, too, is probably essential. It demands a great deal of detailed memorization of the structure of the entire United States. You'd better get this one out of the way as soon as possible...
...been an excellent course under Romer, but faces a revolution this year when it is turned into a half course. 3 on Physiology is particularly strong on lab technique and methods of research. For this reason it is a fairly difficult course and probably should not be taken until Junior year. Redfield, Wald, and Stier are all highly commended lecturers...
...physics out of the way as soon as possible. You really should have at least two of them behind you by the end of your Freshman year. The courses suited to the Sophomore year are Mineralogy 2, Geology 2b, Geology 17a, Geology 18b, and Paleontology 1. In the Junior year try Geology 10, 2a, 8a and b, or-Mineralogy 8a and 9b. Hold over Geology 3, 9a and 9b till your last year...
