Changes in the staff and curriculum of the Biology Department have affected considerably the enrollment in that department's courses this year. Nat Sci 5, ordinarily one of the most popular Gen Ed courses, has a very light turnout; Biology 115 was very much oversubscribed; all other upper-level biology courses are full...
Peter Albersheim, assistant professor of Biology and one of the four lecturers in Nat Sci 5 this year, attributed the comparatively small demand for the course to the absence of George Wald, and also to the popularity of the new Nat...
...freshman not quite sure of his field of concentration might do well to schedule Economics 1, Nat. Sci. 5, English 123 (Harry Levin on Shakespeare), and History 61a (Frank Freidel's basic American history course) as his classes this year. If these didn't appeal to him, he might try Nat. Sci. 9, Fine Arts 13, Philosophy 1, and Social Sciences 136 (David Riesman). Or Hum. 3, English 115 (Chaucer), Government 124 (Constitutional law), and Slavic 150 (Russian-lit-in-English...
...time offerings are survey courses that appeal to concentrators in all fields. Ec. 1, for example, had the largest enrollment in the College last year despite the competition offered by other twelve o'clock classes. Yet nine other courses given at the same time enrolled 100 or more students--Nat. Sci. 5 had 360 and Fine Arts 13, 284. Instead of cutting down on the number of courses offered then, the departments added more. Phil. 1, English 123, History 61, as well as Stanley Hoffman's course on modern France, Erik Erickson's on the life cycle, and Donald Fleming...
...nine o'clock class seems to be as heartily detested by teachers as by students. Like breakfast on a camping trip, the offerings at this time are less plentiful than nourishing. Mathematics for poets (Nat. Sci. 114) offers a sampling of what is new and exciting in mathematics, something which concentrators have to wait years for. A full-year course, Bio. 100, systematizes departmental offerings in evolution. Ec. 133, on the economy of Soviet Russia, gives a foundation for deciding whether we are ahead of or behind the Russians when it comes to wheat surpluses...
