...specificity of departments. And even if we accept this as an admirable goal, Brown will somehow have to account for other courses on social change within his department, courses with a different point of view on social change from 148 and 149. Brown also brings up arguments on "irregular" grading, "unqualified" sectionmen, "activist" sections. But these arguments have all been heard before, both by the Soc Rel Department and by the Faculty's Committee on Educational Policy--and the courses have been approved and then reapproved...
...Council gets its income from a $600 yearly endowment plus the profits it earns at its intersession tournament. In the past the tournament profit has been as high as $1500, but the amount has varied and has been an irregular source of support.

But in Euripedes the hints are powerful, and the greater danger probably that of underinterpretation. There is no avoiding, for example, his irregular attitude toward the divinity, which seems to have ranged from outright negation to the most grudging and unsettling sort of affirmation. In The Bacchae, the gods are gods indeed, but their order is--besides whimsical--cruel and misguided. And Mayer's willingness to portray Dionysus as an effeminate, self-absorbed individual, worthy of nearly every label the unbelieving Pentheus...
