Changes in Biology A and Geology 4 and 5 are the most important alterations in the curriculum for next year revealed is the preliminary Announcement of Courses recently published. Men receiving a grade of A or B in Biology A will hereafter be allowed to count the course to fulfill the introductory concentration requirement in that field and may be admitted to more advanced courses on that basis. Formerly students were required to take Zoology 1 and Botany 1 in place of Biology A for concentration in the field.
Geology 4 and 5 have been combined into one course to be known as Geology 1. This change is the result of a trend which has been going on in the course for the past three years. With the consent of the instructor, however, the student may count the first half-year's work for credit.
New Courses
Comparative Literature 6, a new course on the English Epic and narrative poetry, as influenced by classical literature, which will be given by J. B. Munn '12, professor of English in the second half-year, heads the list of change in that department. C. N. Greenough '98, professor of English, will give a half-course on English and American thought and expression from 1700 to 1800, to be called English 94. Two new half-courses which will normally form a full course will be known as English 25a and 25b. They will deal with Anglo-Saxon poetry. English 75, which was discontinued this year, will be given next winter by F. P. Magoun, Jr., '16, associate professor of Comparative Literature, and will stress the problems of the English language. Magoun's course on old English dialects has been discontinued.
G. L. Kittredge '82, Gurney professor of English Literature will again give comparative Literature 25, dealing with the English and Scottish popular ballads. H. A. Wolfson, Nathan Littauer professor of Jewish Literature and Philosophy will only give the first half of History 69.
