Although the recent 10% budget cut takes proportionately the same toll of the smaller fields of concentration as the larger, Anthropology, German, and History and Literature have all avoided drastic curtailments in scholastic quality by judicious paring all but faculty costs.
Since one of the older German professors died unexpectedly last fall, the money saved from his salary will fully offset the economies of the budget cut. All undergraduate courses will be kept next year; tutorial will remain as complete as it was; and none of the younger men in the Department will be dismissed.
Tutorial Unhurt
A large part of the cut in Anthropology will be taken care of by cuts in secretarial and other non-essential work, and no courses will be dropped. Tutorial work will not be curtailed, since the older men in the Department will be pressed into service and the work of some the younger men will be intensified.
The Department will have to dismiss some of the assistants in the advanced courses, but all the men in the three largest Anthropology courses will be retained.
In History and Literature less experienced and therefore cheaper tutorial men will be used to replace Houghton and Potter. The Department will put some tutors on a full, as opposed to a part-time, basis. All men in the field will be given the same amount of time. The draft has not affected any of the three fields as yet, but there is no telling if and where it will strike during the summer.
