Government 1 should definitely be taken Freshman year by anyone who is thinking of concentrating in this field. He should not, however, be discouraged by the dullness of this course, for an elementary course in a wide subject like Government is likely to be scattered and superficial. With it History 1 should be taken rather than Economics during the first year. These two together will require a good deal of reading, but are not overburdening...
Government 29, on Government Regulation of Industry, is a valuable subject, especially for correlation with Economics, but the best word put in for the course was for the reading. Dr. Fainsod was the best lecturer; most of the other lectures were confused, digressive, or trivial, particularly those by Elliott...

One of the four special topics for correlation with History is the History of Representative Government. But even aside from questions of the Divisional Exams, this subject has been grossly under-rated so far. This is the only illustrative course in the history of any phase of government, there is only one survey course on Economic History, and the courses in the department of History are divided entirely on geographic lines--no place is there a history...

They are not complete, as given last year unless the student goes on with more advanced courses. Both Coon and Tozzer, while interesting and well-organized lecturers and an expert ethnographer and archeologist respectively, tend to talk from the point of view of their advanced courses and seem to assume the student is going...
...year, Psychology has been a slowly rising field. Its appeal has hitherto been due perhaps largely to its past reputation as an easy field. This is in a way misleading, however, for unless the concentrator devotes himself to the work, he will not benefit, since the nature of the subject forbids its being drilled into one's head by the application of facts...
