CVETUMENM L Throughout the years the policy of the Government Department has been to give the student a favorable critical estimate of the principles, problems, and the development of government in the American contemporary political systems. The trend toward student projects involving individual research, in such courses as Political Parties in the United States, enables the government major to gain an appreciation of politics. When engross- ed in these projects, the student often carries on a rapid-fire corres- pondence with a senator or the governor of her home state. She follows political campaigns with one eye on the text, and the other divided between The Herald Tribune and U. S. News, tracking down the campaign techniques of her state’s candidates to see if they agree with text book theory. Also, she makes predictions along with the experts, which, whether right or wrong, guarantees knowledge of practical politics. In 1956-1957, a new course, Constitutional Law, will be instituted and will include a consideration of contempory civil liberties, inter- governmental relations, taxation, and the regulation of commerce and business, thus expanding the Government Department and ex- tending to the majors an even wider political horizon.
