...course in Physics is required. Physics C is the course intended for non-Physics concentrators and is the best bet. Having taken this, however, it is worth while in many cases to take Physics 1 on Atomic Physics, which is not too hard a course. No Mathematics is required, but at least Math A is necessary and Math 2 is strongly advised for research work. A revision of the three early Math courses might make it possible to cover this material in one year. Math 5 is not deemed of much value, although advised by the department...
...salmon, including 90% of the U. S. supply, comes from Alaskan waters, where also abound halibut, crabs, and diverse marine edibles. U. S. fishermen consider that by God and treaty they hold sole rights to the Bristol Bay area of the Bering Sea, where more than $40,000,000 worth of salmon is netted each year. Within the past eight years, Japanese vessels, equipped to zip a fish from the sea and can it aboard have appeared off Alaska in increasing numbers...

...Sciences are a close second to Chemistry in the number of concentrators in a scientific field, for there were 139 men in them last year. Its appeal is that it provides a general training in the more important sciences without being limited to any one branch. Secondly it is worth consideration by students planning to go to Medical School because it is a compromise between the extremely narrow background which is provided by concentration in Chemistry, Biology, or Physics, which require all one's time at the expense of social and cultural courses, and the non-scientific background offered...
...History of Art and will be increased to a full course this year. Concentrators hoped that this would bring a proportionate increase in the amount of time devoted to contemporary work. The course builds up a chronological list of superficial facts, requires little intelligence or thought, but is worth while both as an introduction to advanced courses in the history of Art, and as correlation for History 1, which Freshmen should take with Fine Arts 1d if they are thinking of concentrating in Fine Arts...
