...Geography, Climatology, and Physiography. The latter is also, and perhaps more closely, connected with Geology, Geology 1 being required for Geography 4a, the beginning course in Physiography. Geography 5b and 7b, the Physiography of North and South America respectively are considered better courses in Physiography from the point of view of the human geographer. Course 4a was criticized as being too technical for one in Systematic Geography which deals with its effect on humans. Bryan, who gives this course, is primarily an authority on glacial geology, outside of Physiography itself, and Geography concentrators find the course rather useless. The lack...
...scholarship "personally communicated" through lecturing and tutoring. The probable future attainment of candidates for promotion should be considered even more than what they have accomplished. In seeking the liberal road, Harvard has set up the ideal of academic freedom--of having a variety in method and point of view.

They are isolated cases, but when Mayor Hague's bullying methods spread to Newark, the time has come to view with alarm. Perhaps the growing emulation of Hague is nor surprising in view of Mr. Thomas's indictment of Governor Moore as "only Hague's Charlie McCarthy." In any, case the isolated curiosity must be checked before its "tyranny in the guise of patriotism" becomes a vogue in American municipalities. Just...
...view of the fact that the concentrators do not receive tutorial, it has been suggested that they should be allowed to take a fifth course without incurring the extra course fee. Ambitious students feel that they should not be financially penalized for doing extra work, and many find a fifth course not too burdensome...
