History and Literature has tightened the basic requirements for concentrators, setting up rigid introductory course requirements where none had existed before. The Core is just the most floodlit, the culmination of the Faculty's attempts to eliminate much of the students' control of his education at Harvard and to restore it to omniscient Faculty members and administrators...
