Not since Zero Mostel and Phil Silvers in A Funny Thing... have a duo coordinated their deliveries so well...

The report carefully stipulates how professors must structure these courses, what the aims of these courses must be, and a host of other requriements that would restrict professors teaching core courses from presenting the course material in an innovative and individualistic manner. A standing committee on the core curriculum would monitor the core courses to insure that these courses were kept in accord with the aims of General Education as elucidated in the core report...
