Schwarz- -Front Row: Priding itself on tl1e fact that it has kept Wfmodrow Wilsonis ideal of the small precept, the English Depart- ment staff has been raised to a record high due to increases in student elections .... The department attributes much of its popularity to its three unusual programs of study- English literature and the English language, English liter- ature and its European backgrounds, and English litera- ture a11d American civilization. Under this system a wide latitude of choice is given the student, since several cog- nate courses may be substituted for departmentals ....

Stauffer, Departmental Chairman, is a literary critic, Willard Thorp, an expert 011 American and late English literature, E. L.

Majoring in the department, a man makes a choice between tl1e two divisions in which to concentrate: economics and sociology. Commerce and business attract the largest number of departmental graduates, and many go into graduate studies in business administration and law .... Many of the faculty members are nationally known, such as R. H. Lester, the Departmental Chairman, who is a specialist in labor relations, F. W. Notestein, who directs the Office of Population Research, and O. Morgenstern, an expert on business cycles, who initiated an econometric seminar for seniors last year .... In May, the department sponsored a conference for businessmen, government officials, and representatives from education at the Princeton Inn. This has become an annual event.
