social Science
The social sciences attempt to
find patterns and understanding'
in the realm of human relation-!
ships. They assemble, correlate
and analyze information regard-
ing man's experience through
study of his relationships to his
environment, his efforts to pro-'
vide for himself, his systems for
group living and his regulationj
and control of the social organi-
zation.

at least two departments. Includ-
ed is a two-semester sequence in
one department. This requirement

pology, Asia 1 and 2, College Hon-
ors, Economics, Geography, His-
tory, Journalism, Political Science,
most offerings in Psychology and
Sociology. The introductory cours-
es in each department are gener-
all four hour courses, divided into
two large lecture sections, and two
small recitation periods.
Natural Science

each student to elect a minimum
of 12 hours in the natural sci-
ences, work in at least two depart-
ments, and a two-semester se-
quence in a laboratory course. This

Courses in natural science have
the objectives of providing an un-
derstanding of and practical ex-
perience in scientific methods of
classification, analysis, descrip-
tion, experimentation and presen-
tation of evidence.
Mathematics and Philosophy
A two-semester sequence in ei-
ther mathematics or philosophy is'
required of the prospective schol-
ar in the literary college. There
are a number of common features
in mathematics and philosophy
that bring them together as a per-
haps puzzling distribution require-
ment.
Both place a primary stress on
clear and exact reasoning. Any
field, naturally, provides training
in reasoning, but in some this is
secondary, and in most depart-
ments it is linked with the study
of a specific body of factual mate-
rial.
In philosophy and mathematics,
however, the stress on reasooning
is central and is not concerned
with any specific body of data.
Also, both deal with questions
that have a greater generality,


than those of any science or
other discipline.
And both, though in different
ways, furnish tools for the study
of other fields; mathematics in
providing methods of computa-
tion and statistical techniques for
the sciences; philosophy in treat-
ing of the methods of reasoning
and of leading ideas and values
that have played a part in our
tradition,
Humanities
The Humanities requirement can
be met by a twq -semester se-
quence in Literature, Asia 1 and
2, College Honors, .Great Books,

crease the student's insight into
the forms of aesthetic expression
of his own or a foreign culture
are the aims of courses in the hu-
manities.
