...picked the 60 members to represent a cross-section of the different aptitudes, fields of interest, and levels of preparation of the freshman class. The members of the seminar were required to take Hum 6 and strongly urged to take Nat Sci 5. In the Spring term, instead of the seminar work, everyone took Soc Sci 136, Riesman's upper level Gen Ed course. So the seminar was more than a course; it was a way of life, tying its members together through the same course load and weekly dinner meetings...
...voting on the Nat Sci bypass (not to be confused with the Cambridge Inner Belt) was the final stage in the Faculty's consideration of the CEP proposed. The Faculty, Wilcox said yesterday, was "picking up the remains of what had to be done...

In almost every case, the prerequisite will be a course in, or knowledge of, calculus. The new rules have one obvious advantage. They will help create a core of non-science concentrators well-trained in mathematics. Knowledge that such students exist might induce top-flight professors to teach sophisticated upper-level Gen Ed courses in the Natural...
