The Coursegoer: T. Th. (S.)

If James Joyce had lived 20 years longer he would have produced as his chef d'oeuvre, Courses of Instruction for Harvard and Radcliffe. Such a rich vision of reality, so wide a breadth of knowledge, such stark symbolism is indeed beyond the reach of any contemporary writer. Today the CRIMSON literati have pooled their talents to analyze the T. Th. (S.) sections of the master-work and help all you striving Daedaluses reach the equanimity of Leopold Bloom.

9 a.m.

Professor Crane Brinton coaxes the drowsy toward consciousness with History 134a, a study of the European intellect and how it penetrated "downward into the crowd." Geography 101 helps arouse scholars with a stroll through the history of the English landscape, and undergraduates in Nat Sci 6 personally retrace the evolution of human awareness while Professor Howells lectures on the same subject.

Those who prefer to be wrenched to their senses will do well to dabble in "Ordinary Differential Equations," Math 218, which courts their curiosity with "real critical points" as well as some "complex singular points." Meanwhile nautically-minded folks plunge into "the influence of naval command of the seas" in Naval Sciences 12, and H. Stuart Hughes holds forth on the history of France since 1815.

10 a.m.

Among the pillars of Exam Group XII is English 70, a popular tour of American literature conducted this term by Alan Heimert. Elsewhere in the English Department Walter Jackson Bate illuminates the "Function and Criticism of Literature" in English 192, and scads of undergrads submit to the spell of John Finley's epic oratory in Hum 2. Universalists must choose between Merle Fainsod's treatment of Soviet Dictatorship in Government' 115 and the "Principles of Ecology" studied in Biology 143; the undecided settle on Iranian 175, "the Culture of Ancient Iran." Scientists delve into Geology 271a, "Mining Geology," or aspire to astronomical techniques in Astronomy 120a.

Simultaneously the Civilization of India materializes in the guise of Soc Sci 116, students of Aristophanes savor Greek 105a, and dilettantes carefully avoid the intricacies of wave phenomena unwound in Physics 112a. Juan Marichal caps this tour de force of the liberal arts with History 175b, the intellectual history of Latin America, while Professor Gleason shows "how the foundations of real variable theory can be based on naive set theory in Math 112.

11 a.m.

While ardent Hum 6-ers assiduously jot down every word of often meaningless lectures, wobbly young students gather at the feet of Professor John Dunlop to learn the latest styles in strikes and collective bargaining (Ec 129). Those interested in Metropolis, Gotham and Megalopolis should stop in to hear Professor Banfield explain "Urban Policy Problems" (Gov 146). Music 1 teaches students the difference between a monotone and a metronome.

Noon

You won't know how long a novel can be until you've read Bleak House; this and other epics of the "sceptered isle" from the bonecrushing backbone of Eng 105, "Introduction to the English Novel." Masochists shouldn't miss Gov 108, "Legal Theory."

And there's always Chem 186, "Electroanalytical Chemistry," which teaches unsuspecting students the "fundamental principles underlying potentiometric titrations, conductometric titrations, polargraphic analysis, amperometric titrations, chronopotentiometry, and other electrochemical methods."

P.M.

The gentleman of leisure, who wishes to breakfast regularly at noon without eliminating classes from his life, faces a few problems. The omnipresent Mr.-------- cooperates with Miss----------- in giving Greek Hhf, Greek Prose Composition. Meeting on Tuesday at 2 p.m. it leaves seven mornings and six afternoons a week uncluttered. And more cultural vacuums can be filled on Thursday in Celtic 227 which deals in poetry of the Gogynfeirdd.

A search for something a trifle more general ends inevitably in the Social Relations section of the catalog. Human development (Soc Rel 209) may be dealt with from two to four on Tuesday, leaving Thursday free for the Theory of Social Systems (Soc Rel 225).

Whatever you do, don't overreach.
