UNIVERSITY TO PUBLISH LIST OF COURSES RELATING TO WAR

15 Subjects Deal Directly With Defense, 30 Indirectly

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In a pamphlet to be issued later in the week and going to press today, all courses connected with the war effort will be listed, Dean Jeffries, chairman of the committee in charge of the publication, stated last night.

Statements on the importance of staying in college and of the value of taking defense courses from the point of view of the student and of the nation are included in the announcement, Dean Wyman said.

About 15 courses will be offered which have direct bearing on the war, and about 30 which will be valuable indirectly, according to an article in the current Alumal Bullotin. This group includes some new subjects, and a number which are being repeated in the second semester.

Languages which have gained now importance as a result of war conditions, such as Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Japanese are already offered, and plans are being made for intensified work in some of these fields.

Two-New Government Courses

Two new courses have been proposed by the Department of Government: The Background of Anglo-American Constitutional Liberty to the Adoption of the Constitution of the United States, and Public Personnel Administration.

Because of the importance of mathematics in modern warfare, Math A, which was elected by 510 men in September, will be offered again in the second semester so that it may be completed in the summer session or some later time. Math B, a half course consisting of military and naval mathematics and physics, will also be given in February.

Aerial mapping and surveying are being repeated by the Department of Geography, and Navigation is again being offered for prospective Navy men. An electronics course, will be given by the Physics Department with Government funds and open to students without fee.
