Open to Juniors, Seniors. & Graduates, of all Departments.
This Course is a study of the essence of life and of Literature, and the relation between them, in the two main aspects of Poetry and Philosophy. The discussion would also include certain problems of politics, morality, art, and religion.
Students shall read intensively certain selected and prescribed masterpieces of poetry and prose, of philosophy and literary criticism, as the basis of discussion in class, in which they are expected to join.
In addition, each student should read a list of books especially planned by the teacher for his individual purpose and interest, with a view to writing a thesis (for the academic year) setting forth his own conclusions and findings in literary study and life experience.
