HISTORY AND LIT OPENS NEW FIELDS OF CONCENTRATION

According to an announcement made yesterday by the Committees on Degrees in History and Literature concentrators in this field, beginning with the present Freshman Class, will be offered two additional sub-fields of concentration, the History and Literature of Greece and the History and Literature of Rome.

These fields will enable a man who has a knowledge of one of the classical languages to study intensively the civilization of either Greece or Rome in all its manifestations, in philosophy and the arts as well as in its institutions and intellectual history. A candidate for honors in one of these fields would ordinarily offer eight courses for his concentration, and the general regulations governing his work, including the written divisional to be taken at the end of the Junior year, would be the same as for the students in the modern fields of History and Literature.

Fields Offered Before

The two ancient fields were formerly offered by the department, but were discontinued for some years owing to the lack of a tutor connected with the History and Literature staff who was adequately qualified to deal with them. Such a lack has now been filled, and the fields are therefore being resumed.

Students desiring further information should consult F. O. Matthiessen, assistant professor of History and Literature, whose office hours at Grays 18 are regularly Monday and Wednesday between 12 and 1 o'clock, and Tuesday between 12.30 and 1 o'clock.
