...that the dramas of Euripides seemed hardly golerable to the German romanticist. A. W. Schlegel. This is particularly interesting when one realizes that Euripides works contain within them the seeds of the movement of which Schlegel was to be the formulator and popularizer.

We have been calling this orientation course an attempt to tell a Freshman what he is going to study before he studies it, as he goes into the field of social science, so that he will understand it, when he takes it, and I think they have done quite a little in the way of unification. More might be done by a senior course which would attempt to unify different courses after they had been taken. This was done formerly by the old senior course in philosophy...
