THE 'LIT' BABY:
Humanities Course Enters Second Year
V AUGHAN BIG PARTY:
'Vickie' Vaughan Coeds Plan
Fete for Dispossessed Males
4.9
The much-discussed "baby" of
the Literary College curriculum
celebrates its first birthday this
fall.
Humanities 1 and 2, or the
"Great Books Course," is now en-
tering the second year of a
planned two-year trial period,
with Prof. Clark Hopkins of the
Classified Studies Department
continuing as chairman.
FUTURE PLANS for the course
are still in committee stage, Prof.
Hopkins said, but its success last
year indicates that Humanities
will be extended and possibly
opened to a limited number of
upperclassmen.
There are now eight sections
of Humanities, as compared with
seven last year. All classes are
limited to between twenty-five
and thirty students, in order to
promote free discussion and an
informal atmosphere.j
Instructors for the course are
drawn from the departments of
English, classics, Romance lan-
guages, philosophy, history, and
German. One nwajor difficulty,
Prof. Hopkins stated, is in obtain-
ing enough instructors, since most
departments are crowded and in
need of all their members.

ONE HOPEFUL SIGN which
will facilitate broadening of the
Humanities course is the increased
number of inexpensive editions of
the classics. Another more im-
portant one is the enthusiasm felt
by most of the students and teach-
ers who took part in the "experi-
ment" last year.
As a result of the Great Books
course, some two hundred of
this year's sophomores are ac-
quainted with books that many
people never even touch in four
years of college.
Some have formed a better idea
of a subject in which to specialize;
all can return to the study of
Homer and Plato, Dante and
Shakespeare, with some degree of
insight and understanding.
Similar courses have been suc-
cessful at other universities, in-
cluding Harvard, Columbia, and
Chicago; and all signs point to a
bright future for Humanities.
