Even with this assurance, some ESPP concentrators say they remain skeptical that the concentration would adequately replace the course. Elizabeth L. Kanter '99, an ESPP concentrator who took the seminar last year, said it would be difficult to create an equivalent class...

"The professors of this class try to take what you believe in and then make you look at it and think about why you believe in it, what you want to do about it and how you want to go about dealing with it.

While the same themes of loss and separation are inherent to each student's work, their treatment and interpretation of the subject span a broad spectrum.

Mixco, who plans to attend medical school in the future, beautifully mingled his artistic and technical sensibilities with wires emerging from the vein...
