Course Reviews Listed:

The page contains student-written, witty, and sometimes satirical evaluations of specific Harvard courses offered in the second half of the academic year. Examples include:

  1. Economics 5 (Professor Burbank) – Described as an “opportunity to apply critically and broadly” to economic principles, but noted that reading materials are “hardly constitutes a major objection.” The professor is praised for his teaching, though the course’s relevance to “modern times” is questioned.

  2. Economics 7b (Assistant Professor Mason) – Warned that “no undergraduate can afford to be ignorant” of its content, yet it’s considered “difficult for any student” and may be “boring.” Professor Mason is noted as being “more around than the average student.”

  3. English 11b (Professor Rollins) – The study of Milton is described as “rewarding,” though “the work in itself is not disappointing.” The reviewer expresses a desire to see more of Rollins’ “personal and intimate effort to make the course of value.”

  4. English 92 (Professor Greenough) – Praised for covering “the course in the period 1740–1795,” with material described as “very sympathetic” and the professor’s “eighteenth century writers in their most attractive light.” The course is recommended as “planned and makes it perfectly palatable.”

  5. Fine Arts 1D (Professor Edgell) – Mockingly critiques the course’s focus on “Japanese Art,” suggesting the professor’s “pseudo-tibetan skyscrapers” and “pseudo-tibetan conversations” may be more memorable than the art itself. The reviewer concludes, “he wouldn’t have to memorize those d—d slides.”

  6. Fine Arts 5K (Dr. Kuhn, Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 10 o’clock) – Described as “the second time” the University offers this course, focusing on “History of Flemish Painting.” The course is praised for being “efficient” and for being taught by Professor Goldschmidt, who “understands the teaching of the fine arts.”


Tone and Style:

  • The writing is conversational, critical, and often humorous.
  • Reviews offer personal anecdotes, subjective judgments, and insider commentary.
  • Some reviews are highly critical (“he wouldn’t have to memorize those d—d slides”), while others are appreciative and encouraging.
  • The goal is to help fellow students navigate course selection with practical, unvarnished advice.

Physical Appearance:

  • The page is aged, with a yellowish tint and visible paper texture.
  • Two metal binder holes are punched on the left margin.
  • The text is arranged in two columns, with course titles in bold and instructor names specified.
  • It’s a snapshot of student life and campus culture at Harvard in the late 1920s—offering not just academic guidance but cultural commentary.

In summary, this is a charming and revealing page from Harvard’s student newspaper, offering an irreverent, student-perspective review of university courses, blending humor, criticism, and genuine advice — a precursor to modern course evaluation systems.
