Machinery for such a change in the requirement is available in two excellent half-courses, professor Henderson's "History of the Physical and Biological Sciences before 1700" and Dr. Sarton's continuation of this subject through the 18th and 19th centuries. By combining these into a single course meeting the distribution requirement, and by eliminating the prerequisite of one half-course in a science that now limits them both, a more intelligent and consistent policy would result. The only logical alternative is complete elimination of the science requirement...

...someone to enlighten him on the subject, but to no avail. Days past and no one appeared to dissipate the abysmal ignorance of the Vagabond. At last, after weeks of anxious waiting, succor arrived. Today at ten o'clock he will go to Emerson H there to hear Professor Sarton lecture on Pasteur. The Vagabond doesn't know much about Pasteur, but he has a vague and tenuous idea that he was a doctor, or a scientist or a medical man of some ability. He also had something to do with pasteurized milk, which the Vagabond always believed...
...Humanism" is an expression first used by Dr. Sarton fifteen years ago. It is the movement to humanize science by studying it from the historical point of view as an essential part of human culture. Dr. Sarton's lectures will probably deal more particularly with the history of science and the fact that human progress is to be told in terms of increase of knowledge...
...Sarton is at present at work completing the second volume of his History of Science. The material that he has collected, however, is so much that the second volume will necessarily be split up into two parts...
