Faculty Accepts
English Change
Several revisions in the English
curriculum were voted upon and
approved in the faculty meeting
Tuesday afternoon and will go into
effect next semester. English 291,
the former three hour American
Literature course, has been deleted
and is being expanded into two
three hour courses, English 293 and
English 294.
English 293, American Literature
before 1870, is described as “a sur
vey of major American writers to
about 1870” with stress on such
authors and poets as Poe, Thoreau,
Hawthorne, Melville, and Whitman.
It will be offered first semester of
1964-65 session.
English 294, American Literature
from 1870 to 1914, is a continuation
of the survey and will emphasize
such writers as Dickinson, Twain,
as Dickerson, Twain, James, Adams,
James, Adams, and Crane. This
course will be offered in 1965-^.
Prospective English teachers will
be required to take at least one
semester of this American Litera
ture course.
Another three-hour course, Eng
lish 295, The American Novel, has
been deleted and a new three-hour
course English 297, The Twentieth
Century American Novel, has been
put in its place. This course has
been described as a study of “rep
resentative novels w'hich .contribute
to our cultural heritage,” as seen
in the writings of Dreiser, Hem
ingway, and Faulkner. Students
may take this course during the
second semester of 1964-65.
Besides these revisions a com
pletely new course has been added
—English 290, a two-hour confer
ence course. The program is pri
marily open to juniors who, having
received the permission of the head
of the department, intend to do
honors work their senior year. The
English department has set up this
course in the following manner:
The student will meet with the
faculty member to whom she has
been assigned and outline a pro
gram of reading based on her
needs and interests ... A tentative
grade will given. At the end
of the year the student will be
given an examination on which
will determine the grade of the
year. The English Department
will attach considerable weight to
the work done in this course in
determining whether a student
ought to car>-v an honors pro
gram in her senior year.
