Harvard History

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

In response to the letter of Mr. J. Vincent Spadea '22, in the CRIMSON of November 10th, in which he asks for a course in the History of Harvard College, may I suggest that he might be interested in Education 1, History of Education. In this course Professor Norton spends the first half-year on American Education, giving a large amount of time to Harvard College and the schools of Boston with their immediate predecessors in England. Furthermore, each student carries on an independent investigation in this field and writes a thesis on his topic. Several of us are studying phases of the history of Harvard College. We make use of the rare documents of the Treasure Room and visit historical and genealogical societies.

We find the work fully as interesting as Mr. Spadea expects. LEWIS A. MAVERICK, 1 G.ED. November 12, 1920.
