...student who does not want to concentrate in Economics but desires an auxiliary foothold in the subject would do best to combine the theory of Economics A with the more specific material in Economics 41, on Money and Banking...
...will have to pass in the spring their Junior year a general examination on the department of Economics, and in the spring of their Senior year an examination correlating Economics with either History or Government (this correlating exam may be abolished by 1942), and a third one on the student's special field, which is chosen from a list of eleven, including economic theory, economic history, money and banking, industry, public utilities, public finance, labor problems, international economics, policies and agriculture...

Course 10, an introduction to Architectural Design, is closely connected to the School of Design...
