...Student Council has written a damning criticism of what the Harvard Fine Arts department gives its undergraduates. It has damned it for over-emphasis on detail and chronology, for its failure to treat the Fine Arts as one of the humanities, and above all for its utter lack of an integrated educational policy. Daring for the first time to criticize a department, the Council has fulfilled its highest function of canalizing student opinion and supporting it with careful research.

The combination...
...experience in advanced courses; and are applicable to other courses only to the extent that good teaching in one division implies good teaching in the other. We think Mr. Bunde's conclusions bear usually a likeness to truth: many of his comments seem reasonable, though marred by a lack of ability to weigh merits in a difficult and complex field against weakness, by a lack of the tolerance and appreciation which would make for a truer kind of truth than his sometimes thin reasoning confidently attains...
