'49-50 Catalog Is Out Listing New Changes

A 260-page book entitled "Courses of Instruction" (non-fiction) appeared in Cambridge over the weekend and sold out within five hours.

Over 100 freshmen mobbed the University Information Office Saturday morning and quickly exhausted its supply of catalogs. The Weld Hall office has reloaded, however, and is prepared to distribute the green-covered booklets to all students who want them.

The catalog contains several changes, some new courses in General Education, and, for the first time this century, no History 1.

Humanism in the West

In GE, a course called Humanism in the West will replace Professor I. A. Richard's old Humanities 1, and another elementary Humanities course has been added. Social Sciences 1, which replaces History 1, will cover all Western tradition instead of just five periods.

GE Upperclass courses have been added in Language and in The Sprit of the Renaissance.

Professor Clyde K. Kluckhohn will take over Anthropology 1b, and Associate Professor Fred C. Whipple will teach Astronomy 1. Professor L. Don Leet will give the first term of Geology 1, replacing Professor Kirtley F. Mather.

Poetry Composition

The English Department will offer a full course in writing poetry, taught by Assistant Professor John Ciardi. Professor Perry G. E. Miller will give half of the American Literature survey, and a half-course has been added in the twenieth-century American novel.

Professors Alvin H. Hansen will not give any undergraduate courses in economics, and Professor Kluckhohn will not give Anthropology and Modern Life.
