HISTORY OF SCIENCE

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Your otherwise informative note on concentration in History and Science carried with it one error which I would like to correct. You comment that the rules relating to college study are inaccurate when they suggest that most seniors take their generals in one of the regular fields of history, and suggest instead that they actually use the History of Science.

In the past six years during which time I have been the director of Tutorial Studies, we have never had more than three or four students in a group ranging from 12 to 20 who chose to replace a regular field of history with the History of Science.

History and Science is as the title states, a spilt field of concentration in which the History of Science plays a coordinating role through the tutorial program. Everett Mendelsohn   Associate Professor,   History of Science;   Chairman,   Board of Tutors.
