The Vagabond Shopping Around

Of the works of the Harvard University Press, few are as little read as the course catalogue. Most students will carefully examine only a few of the 515 pages in this year's edition. They stay on familiar grounds, looking for the most part only at the courses 15 or 20 numbers removed from those they took last year.

This is a shame: the catalogue deserves better. Untold gems of intellectual satisfaction await those few undergraduates who each year devote hours to finding intriguing and pleasurable course offerings apart from the usual dull run. When these diligent readers complete their perusal of the catalogue, they can anticipate an exhilarating year staking out a claim on those fields of academic endeavor which lesser spirits unwittingly pass by. To distribute this satisfaction more equitably, we here present a collection of this year's catalogue's finest moments.
