'Roman Law' discarded In Fall Course Changes

Roman Law is one of 47 undergraduate courses that has been droppe from the curriculum, according to proofs released yesterday of the un-issued "Preliminary Announcement of Courses." History 118a,"Roman Law in Ancient and Medieval Culture," is considered by many to be one of the more easy courses in the College.

"I don't know anything about it," Eberhard F. F. Bruck, research associate in Law, who teaches Roman Law, said last night when informed that his course was not listed for next fall.

Bruck is 74 and past retirement age. Although no official announcement has been given of his retirement, he probably will not be teaching next year.

To balance the 47 courses that were discarded, 44 new offerings will be given next fall.

New Department

The University announced two weeks ago that the customary Preliminary Announcement would not be printed this year. Expense, fewer changes, and more time for the department to decide on additions were the main reason given. All departments have distributed lists to their tutors and advisers of any course changes or additions.

The biggest departmental change creates a new Division of Applied Science replacing the Departments of Engineering and Applied Physics, and has absorbed their courses.

Philosophy and Social Relations lead 22 departments with five new offerings for the fall. President Conant will teach one, "A Philosophy of Science," (150, 50 students, while I. A. Richards, University Professor, will give another called "Modes of Meaning" (146, Groupup XI).

The Social Relations department is offering a new course (14, Group II) that will give neophytes a glimpse of research procedure, while Robert W. White, lecturer on Clinical Psychology, will-teach "Developmental Trends in Personality" (158, Group III).

None for Economics

History is close behind with four additions. Toshio G. Tsukahira, research fellow in the Russian Research Center, will describe the history of Japan's civilization since 1800 (185, Group XIII), "History of Russia Since 1917" (156, Group XIV), and "The Republics of the Carribean" (177, Group XII) are also offered. A newcomer to the department, Bryce D. Lyon, will lecture on "Social and Economic Problems of the Middle Ages" (123, Group V).

Government's only new course is "Government and Defense" (159, Group XIII). The Economics department has added a term to the old economic history half course (135, Group II) but otherwise lists no additions.

Theodore Morrison, lecturer on English, has designed a half course, English H (Group XVI) to help even non-concentrators learn to criticize literature. Two drams offerings (124, Group V) and (125a XIII) complete the new English bill.

Music and Fine Arts are tied with three changes each. Excepting Music 1, all undergraduate history of music offerings are new. G. Wallace Woodworth professor of Music, is listed for two and Archibald T. Davidson, James Edward Ditson Professor of Music, will lecture on the "History of Choral Music: 1430 to the Present" (120, Groups XVI. XVII).

Frederick R. Deknatni, professor of Fine Arts should attract non-concentrators with Fine Arts 170 on "Modern Art" (XIV)

Albert J. Guerad, associate professor of English, will give a half course on the "Short Novel" in Comparative Literature Ctrl2. Gramp XIII).
