During the first five years of NDEA the government paid out $181 million to the states, on a 50-50 matching basis, to strengthen instruction in science, math, and modern languages in elementary and secondary schools. The Office of Education reports that in this period the number of language labs in high schools jumped from 46 to almost 6,000; under another provision of the Act nearly 14,000 public school teachers received instruction in modern foreign language institutes...
...only to take a peek at the textbooks being used in high school science and math courses these days, or to listen to a language class being taught, to realize the changes that NDEA has helped realize. But its most impressive accomplishments he in yet another area: since 1958 about 490,000 students in over 1,500 colleges have borrowed $330,000,000 under the loan program...
...While Math. 11 struggles with fluxions and currents, the real fluxes and currents across membranes undergo study in Biophysics 203a. The aristocrat of nine o'clock classes is, however, Anthro. 117a: Oliver's "Oceania: Archeology and Ethnology" is a thinly disguised study of Harvard Square after a long rain...
...Music 124 run roughly parallel courses over the history of music at slightly different levels of rigor. The activities of Music 253 ("Tubby and Tuba") stand explained in Anthro. 103a, "Primate Social Behavior." And for those weary of this animal hedonism, there are the ascetic pleasures of Math. 272a, discussing "CW complexes, homology, cohomology, homotopy...
...spoor of Esoterica hangs over the afternoon courses. Math. 224, for example, dallies over "Topics in the Theory of Compact Riemann Surfaces"; while Portuguese 200 elucidates Portuguese linguistics, and includes a survey of Portuguese literature up to 1500. At hours to be arranged Akkadian 230 will dwell on elementary Akkadian. Indian Studies 122a will exhume elementary classical Tibetan...
