Crimson Continues Guide To Courses Beginning Second Half Year Preparatory To Final Filing of Study Cards This Month
The Crimson today begins the winter installment of its tenth annual Confidential Guide to Courses. It offers the opinions of students on half courses beginning next semester. Where revision of a course has been made without any notice being given, the Crimson can assume no responsibility for errors in the reviews, which only cover the larger courses. Students are reminded that study cards must be filed before 5 o'clock, Tuesday, December 20.
Chemistry 15
No one who specializes to any extent in Chemistry should miss this course, although at times one seems to hear of nothing but the composition of the skate's blood and like subjects. The course is being presented this year by Professor Henderson, who is well qualified to explain the mysteries of biological chemistry. Chemistry 15 is required for premedical students, and makes a very good course for any student who wants to do some laboratory work with his chemistry. Many important biological and physiological facts are explained from the chemical point of view, including the passage of a piece of steak from the mouth to its final resting place in the structure of the body and the unrivaled efficiency of the blood in preserving a constant alkalinity under various disturbing conditions. Course 2a is a prerequisite.
Fine Arts 1d
This is the course so often spoken of, so rarely named, which deliberately goes about the business of spreading a polished veneer on Harvard men. It is the final resting place of the young man of refined drawing-rooms, who wants to know what he wants to see in Europe, and who needs help in the manufacture of polite conversation.
What passes for classical archaeology in Fine Arts 1c is here brought up to date as an obvious guide to the art galleries. Without much bother about facts, one is given a collection of opinions on everything artistic (gas-station architecture included), which man has made from the time of Christ and his basilicas to the time of Alfred Smith and his Empire State Building. The opinions are well classified and entertainingly presented. The course also offers an incomparable collection of bon-mots, and the student who takes it need never grow nervous trying to think of something to say about any cathedral, medieval, water-color, sarcophagus or Old Master. If he cannot rearrange one of the lecturer's wise-cracks he can use it verbatim, and it will be well received provided there is no Harvard man in earshot. For it has been said that the same laughable remarks about each picture occur in the lectures year after year.
Whatever criticism the scholar may make of this course, he must admit that it is the most entertaining, and in a large way, beneficial course which this college offers. The material is eminently palatable to begin with and is presented in a form halfway between a cinema and a crossword puzzle. Professor Edgell is a scholar of the first water, and the lectures of great power, and a humorist of no mean ability. The lectures, which last for an hour, are so arranged that the student is left with the impression that he has learned a great deal, and this impression is not entirely forgotten. He succeeds in making the Arts human, which they must be if 200 rough and uncultured undergraduates are to be interested in them.
If the student can work up an enthusiasm for the material in this course, and he will be able to do so, he will find the 600 pictures astonishingly easy. The simplest way to do this is to remember the bon-mots which accompany them. And that is all the work required of him.
Fine Arts 4b
The early art of Ireland is a subject which would interest only a chosen few. It is obscure and difficult, and does not appeal to anyone who wishes merely a cultural background. However, for those who are interested in delving into the obscure, this course is the very best thing. Mr. Porter, though not a thrilling lecturer, knows more about the subject than perhaps anyone else.
The above arguments may appear ethereal, and all too intangible for practical application in mundane affairs as the University catalogue of courses. But most of them have emanated at various times from the Division itself. Reorganization on the lines indicated above must necessarily be a drastic and perhaps painful change. But it must come if the student is to get the full benefit of his studies in Fine Arts.
