Social Sciences 8, a new course on the psychological conceptions of man, got off to a tumultous beginning as a policeman turned more than 400 students away from the sectioning meeting in Lowell Lecture Hall. Only the first 125 people in line were admitted to the course.
Because of a misprint advising Radcliffe undergraduates sectioning was to be later in the day, very few girls were among the first 125.
