...have a desire to know how the Harvard of the future is going to look and to be allowed a chance to comment upon it before all possibility of revision is closed. While satisfaction for this desire may not, in a legal sense, be demanded as right, a larger view of the situation places their interest above the category of a mere privilege to be granted or refused at the will of those in authority...
Early last winter, it is true, a general bird's-eye view of the prospective plan was offered for the inspection of interested persons, but since then much more definite plans have been drawn which have not been made public. That these drawings must contain much that would be generally interesting and enlightening is not to be doubted. Practical considerations also would seem to dictate that those directly responsible should take the rest of Harvard into their confidence if only as a sop to that militant class of persons who enjoy the making of caustic post facto comments when they...
This course is a highly, interesting study of projective geometry, or rather, an advanced analytic geometry studied from the point of view of a generalized algebra and a generalized non-metrical geometry. It touches several distinct mathematical systems, new and interesting, such as the counting by parameters of points and lines in space. Under Professor Graustein the course is an exceedingly good...
...intends to make a serious study of harmony with a view to learning to compose, Music 1b is adapted, provided one has had a rather thorough grounding in ear training. If not, Music 1a is advised. The study of harmony is not carried so far, but a great deal more emphasis is placed on ear training and development. Both courses offer practice in writing four-part harmony.

That it will be successful from the point of view of the student is naturally still highly problematical, a full year before it goes into effect. The final form that it will take depends to a large extent on the class of 1933, it will surely be more interesting if the class enters it intelligently interested and not passively acquiescent...
