To understand the literary imagination is to move toward the necessary comprehension of man's being and his culture. The English Department helps to develop this understanding through studies which focus upon critical in- terpretations of literature, the relation of literary works to their times and to each other, and intelligent expression in the evaluation of these works.
To achieve this aim, the English Department offers two types of courses.
The 200-level courses are introductions to literature; as such they are available to all students. The 400-level courses are advanced studies, designed for En- glish majors and for those non-majors who wish to further their studies in liter- ature. Although these advanced courses have no specific prerequisites, stu- dents are expected to have sufficient preparation through the 200-level courses.
The English major program is as follows: In his freshman year, the pro- spective major may elect those 200-level courses which interest him. In his sophomore year, he is required, to take THE SURVEY Of ENGLISH LITERA- TURE (English 236/237/238/239). While not required, THE SURVEY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE (English 220) is recommended. In his junior and senior years, the major will design his own program by selecting courses amounting to a minimum of eight (8) full courses on the 400 level. The particu- lar requirements are these: the major must take four (4) full courses or their eqUivalent in English and/or American literature before 1800; of these, one full course must be SHAKESPEARE (English 425 or 426); the major must also take four (4) full courses or their equivalent in English and/or American literature
after 1800. Courses in film and writing may not be applied to the eight re- quired 400-level courses.
The major working for teaching certification must take those courses required by the Education Department in addition to those courses in the English major program.
FOREIGN LANGUAGES (see Modern Languages and Literatures) GEOLOGY

Associat~
Professorof Geography, TAYLOR; Assistant Professor of Biology, ROCK
The courses offered by the Department of Geology provide the student with an opportunity to understand and appreciate the basic parameters and limitations of his natural environment. Courses may be taken at random for enjoyment; selected in conjunction with other studies for application to the solution of environmental problems; or taken in structured sequence 10 prepara- tion for careers in the Earth and Geological Sciences.
The career programs consist of four options leading to the major in Geology (all compatible with the Environmental Studies Major): .
1. The pre-professional major; directed toward specific graduate study 10
Geology.
2. General Science-Geology; for those with broad interests in the natural sciences and possible interest in graduate study.
3. General Science-Geology and Education; for certification to teach Earth Science in secondary schools.
4. The Interdepartmental major; for those with a serious interest in more than one major subject area.
In keeping with the four-course plan, the options differ primarily in the kinds and number of required Geology courses selected from the following three distinct groupings:
Course Group 1
GEO 101 (Principles) GEO 304 (Field Methods) GEO 404 (Historical) Course Group 2
GEO 102 (Processes) GEO 205 (Environmental) GEO 207 (Stratigraphy
& Sedimentation)
GEO 221 (Geology &
Evolution)
GEO 301 GEO 322 GEO 332 GEO 406 GEG 105 GEG 205
(Structural) (Survey)
(Oceanography) (Tectonics) (Weather) (Meteorology) Course Group 3
CES 401 (Petrography) CES 229 (Structure of Solids) CES 325 (High Temp. Reactions) CES 411 (X-rays)
Students choosing options 1 or 2 must take the courses of group one, in the appropriate years, plus Geology 207 and 301 and two other courses or half courses from group two and one course from group three.
Students choosing options 3 or 4 must take the courses in group one plus at least four courses or half courses from group two. They also are encouraged to select courses from group three in keeping with their professional plans.
Substitutions may be made in all options (for cause) and in consultation with the student's adviser. An independent study or research experience (GEO 450) is recommended during the upper-division years. Majors are expected to complete courses in Chemistry and Physics; the specific choices are negoti- able. A proficiency in Mathematics through Elementary Calculus is virtually mandatory for a career in science. For those anticipating graduate study, the development of computer skills and a reading knowledge of a foreign language is strongly advised.
Students electing to fill graduation requirements in the Natural Sciences by taking courses in the Department of Geology may pair Geology 101 with virtually any other course or half course in Geology or Geography for which they qualify. The requirement for Geology 101 may be met by: advanced place- ment, challenge examination, passing the New York State College proficiency examination in Geology, transfer credit, or passing the course.
Admission to courses other than Geology 101 may be granted by the in- structor if he feels that the candidate is adequately prepared.
Students may waive the necessity of taking all but the final examination in a course if the instructor is notified of the decision, in writing, within the first two weeks of the semester.
HISTORY (see Human Studies) HUMAN STUDIES DIVISION
Professor M. SIBLEY (Phil.); Associate Professors CAMPBELL (His.), DROPPERS (His.), Chairman, GILMOUR (Phil.), HOROWITZ (His.); Assistant Professors BELLE (His.), BERGREN (ReI.), OSTROWER (His.); Instructors BLOCK (His.), CAIRNS (Phil.); Lecturers HASLER (Rel.)
The Division of Human Studies assumes the open-ended quality of modern life. It provides an educational setting in which a student may learn to cope with contemporary uncertainty, either through defining and accomplishing an individual educational design (see description of the Track II program, p. 75), or by pursuing a traditional major program in philosophy, history, or interdis- ciplinary history. As much as resources permit, activities under the auspices of the Division are characterized by small classes. Traditional major students will work in consultation with an adviser, while students designing their own majors will work closely with a panel of three advisers. In keeping with this 85
approach, recommendations for graduation for those students designing their own major will be based primarily upon academic maturity and achievement rather than accumulation of courses and residency credits. The aim of the Divi- sion is to develop among all students critical judgment and intellectual flexi- bility, an awareness of the cultural milieu, and a pragmatic activism.
Requirements regarding the Divisional programs differ in the following ways:
Philosophy major: eight full courses (or their equivalent) selected in consultation with the members of the teaching faculty in philosophy. Students are strongly urged to complete the semester sequence in Logic (HSP 280-281) and one or more courses in the history of philosophy (HSP 220, 221, 310) as early as pos- sible. There are no related field requirements.
History major: A minimum of eight full courses (or their equivalent) selected from the 300-400 leveL along with any three to four full courses selected from related fields.
Interdisciplinary, History: At least four and one half courses in history from the 300-400 level, to be chosen in consultation with an adviser from the Division, requirements in the other major discipline are determined by consulting with the department or division involved.
Self-designed Track 11 Program: see above, and also pp. 75 of this catalog.
LIBERAL ARTS
Interdisciplinary courses of general interest which cannot be assigned to a particular department or subject area are identified as Liberal Arts courses and are listed under that heading in the course description section of this catalog. Liberal Arts courses include a series of topical courses which introduce the student to major contemporary problems. Topics will vary from year to year. Individual courses will feature nationally known guest personalities, films and field trips. The courses are especially recommended for freshmen who are considering the Track II program.
MATHEMATICS

The work of the department is organized to serve the interests of students who wish to broaden their intellectual horizons through the development of an intelligent interest in foreign peoples generally; to open up the stores of enjoyment to be found in the literature of other countries and tin:es; to travel more intelligently and independently; to gain a keener appreCIatIOn of excel- lence in expression through the study of words as living, evolving media fo~ con- veying ideas; and to acquire a sufficient foundation in the language studied to permit its use as a tool for reading in other fields. .
Students in the College of Liberal Arts may choose to satisfy the graduatIOn requirement in the Communications area by taking any tw~ full co~rses in Foreign Languages. They may choose to satisfy the graduatIOn reqUirement in the Literature and Philosophy area by taking full or half courses (for a total of two full courses) in Foreign Literature, either in English translatipll-ffl' in
the original language. - .
Students planning to prepare for certification as teachers of foreIgn lan- guages should consult as soon as possible with the chairman of th~ ~epart.ment.
Those contemplating graduate studies should plan for profiCIency 111 an- other language.
Upon the recommendation of the staff and after arrangements in the de- partment and the Study Abroad Office, students may receive credit for a sem- ester or academic year successfully completed abroad.
Classics
The study of the classical languages furthers the aim of general education and at the same time may satisfy the Communications area requirement. It is recommended for those interested in the humanities. The elementary courses in Greek and Latin stress grammar with written exercises and translation. Since enrollments are small in the Classics, these courses are offered on an Inde- pendent Study basis.
German
