...students are likely to have difficulty, and takes special pains to help them. The labs, under Pomerat, are very fine. Romer's Bio. 2, on Comparative Anatomy and the Evolution of invertebrates, is especially valuable for its lab work, though the lectures are dull. Students who had taken some Math., Physics and Chemistry found that Wyman's half year on the Physics-Chemical aspects of Biology was useful for the last part of the Divisionals, and for their honors theses. It is advanced; there are no labs, but three lectures a week and occasional problems--like a kind...
Saunders' in Physics C is thorough but uninspiring. His book contains all the material necessary for the course, and the lab is dull and unimportant. Physics 1 by Oldenburg, on Atomic Physics, is unnecessary for Divisionals but good for advanced theory nX-Ray radio activity for Med. School. Math A is a necessary course for both advanced Physics and advanced Chemistry. The quality of the course depends almost entirely on the section man. Concentrators are given credit for Anthropology...
...Math, A, 2, and 5 are prerequisites for concentration in this rather specialized and small field of concentration. In A, Beatley is particularly good for a student who is not too well grounded; if you're hot, try to get MacLane. In 2, for good men Huntington is excellent. Furthermore he is eminently worth getting to know as a person, and in his classes is best known for his sense of humor, Chances are that he will retire this year, but be sure to check up and see whether he actually has. In the same course, Widder makes you work...
...Math. 9 is interesting if its particular problem concerns you, and is not especially difficult. Math, 11, which may be given next year by MacLane, is excellent, but not too good to take unless the student has had Math. 2. Math 12 is mostly taken by graduate students, and is definitely steep. Math. 13 is one of the stiffest courses in the department, and trains the student in really rigorous proof. The lecture material is generally well presented, but the problems are tough, and the grading severe. The course is recommended, but for senior year...
...Math. 21 is for specialists, so to speak, but if given by Huntington is worth taking. Math 22, under Graustein, was excellent, though exceedingly difficult...
