ANIMAL COLLECTIVE LIFE IS SUBJECT OF NEW COURSE

A new course tracing the ago-long development of animal sociology from fish and insects to modern human societies has just been added to the curriculum, arranged by the Department of Sociology. It will be known as Sociology 16, and will meet in the lecture room of the Biological Institute at 2 o'clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a third hour to be arranged. Open to undergraduates and graduates the course will be given by P. A. Sorokin, professor of Sociology, and W. M. Wheeler, Professor of Entomology. Lectures will also be given by distinguished specialists in animal sociology.

Many of the lectures will be illustrated by films of collective insect, bird, and animal social life, some of them by courtesy of Martin Johnson, the explorer. Flocks of birds, herd life of mammals, and primitive ape communities will be carefully studied.
