Nearly all House seminars to be conducted this spring are now open to inter-House registration.
According to Reuben A. Brower, Master of Adams House, this extension of the House programs indicates that "the seminar experiment has been a success." Henceforth, seminars will be a regular feature of House activities.
An announcement from the Dean's Office lists 13 forum topics ranging from "Science Fiction" to "How to Read a Newspaper." The newspaper seminar, to be given in Adams House by Louis M. Lyons, Curator of the Nieman Foundation, will examine why the same news is treated differently by any two newspapers.
Along more literary lines, another Adams House seminar will study "Literature and the Common Reader." Brower and Piers I. Lewis, teaching fellow in General Education, will direct this attempt at perceptive reading of selected poetry and fiction.
A Lowell House seminar on "Colonial Massachusetts" contrasts strongly with a discussion of India, to take place in Dunster House.
Some seminars are still restricted to members of only one House, notably a Kirkland House study of "The Art of the Cinema." S. Andrews, Jr., Assistant Dean of the College, explained the restriction: "A popular subject like this would attract too many people."
