New Winthrop House Hum Course To Cover Nietzsche, Freud, Yeats

Winthrop House tutors will offer a ten-student lower level Humanities course this Spring on Nietzsche, Yeats, and Freud.

Any Harvard or Radcliffe undergraduate may apply for admissions to the course, but Winthrop House men will receive some priority. Applications are now available in the Winthrop House office or in Comstock Hall.

This will be the third Winthrop House General Education course that Bruce Chalmers, Master of Winthrop House, has created.

Its title is Humanities 10, "The Modern Sensibility." Students will study each of the three men, and individual tutors will then discuss the material in the contexts of their special fields. The tutors run the gamut of fields, including Government, History, Fine Arts, and Germanic Literature.

No Exams

"There will be no exams, a limited number of students, and a wide variety of tutors," Chalmers said yesterday.

The other Winthrop House courses are Natural Sciences 1, which Chalmers began teaching in the Fall of 1965, and Social Sciences 9, which House tutors originated last year.

Chalmers called Soc Sci 9--"Current Problems in the Economics, Government, and Sociology of the United States" -- very successful. The seven Winthrop House men and three Cliffies from Comstock Hall in the course have studied the Negro in America and welfare policy this semester and will concentrate on political parties and civil disobedience next semester.

No masters or tutors outside of Winthrop House have presented plans for courses in other Houses, Edward T. Wilcox, director of General Education, said yesterday.
