Close study of major literary works emphasis on form , genre, aesthetic communication, literature as art, definition and application of this concept. 2 . Familiarity with at least one foreign language preferably French e.g., ability to read and to understand oral French. This requirement would be satisfied by taking one course or one conference in French literature. 3 . History of ideas: philosophical, ethical, religious background of Western civilization as particularly reflected in literary texts.Item Letter from Charles Smith to President Jones(Bennington College, 1942-01-13) Smith, CharlesI feel that great emphasis should be put on organization of form as I think that is important to creating or appreciating any work of art whether it is painting , sculpture or architecture - I feel that this understanding can be brought about (to some extent) by the study of certain simple forms and combinations of these forms...The course that I have in mind should be taken by all students interested in art - whether it is from the standpoint of doing it or seeing it...Item Letter from Simon Moselsio to President Jones(Bennington College, 1942-01-14) Moselsio, SimonIn reviewing the years of my incumbency at B.C., I feel that I myself have gained much, and that my teaching plans can now be crystallized on a surer and sounder basis. I believe that the Introduction to Art, as I have developed it during the last three or four years, is now a good working plan. It is intended to give the student a fairly broad general background in art. All Students desiring to secure a knowledge of the arts in a general sense, will benefit, regardless of whether they are going to major in Art or in any other field. Minor changes in this course could easily be made in correlation with other courses...The following would be a tentative outline for the course; A combined theoretical and studio course in which to give the student a knowledge of the most important epochs of the History of Art....Particular emphasis on form is desired to clarify the power of human ingenuity, and to reveal the religious and social background and also the development and progress of human mentality..Reading matter is assigned for each week..Sculpture as a basic course...This leads to the development of a sense of composition and the [...]of form and space relationships. Individual criticism is made..Item Letter from Simon Moselsio to President Jones(Bennington College, 1942-01-26) Moselsio, SimonI am offering two separate courses in drawing, alternately in each semester. The first is an anatomical analysis of the bony structure of the human body. This course is planned to give the students a better understanding of the architectural perfection of its balance and interplay. The technical media best adapted for drawing may be pen and ink, pencil, or tempera. This course is an excellent preparation for students who may want to do scientific work in hospitals, or to assist in defense work that might call for such preparation. The second course for advanced students is one in Life Drawing. This furnishes an opportunity for the study of space relationships, and rhythm, and greatly assists in all courses in the entire field of art.Item Letter from Peter Drucker to President Lewis Webster Jones(1942-05-08) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005Discussing proposals for a basic course in Political Economy http://hdl.handle.net/11209/9241 and an intermediate course in American Economic and Social History http://hdl.handle.net/11209/9242Item Basic Course in Political Economy - Course Outline(Bennington College, 1942-05-08) Drucker, Peter F.Item Basic Course in Political Economy(1942-05-08) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005An outline, including reading lists, of an introductory course in Political Economy.Item Intermediate Course in American Economic and Social History(1942-05-08) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005An outline, including reading list, for an intermediate course in American Economic and Social HistoryItem A Grammer of Visual Arts(1942-05-11) Smith, Charles; Holt, GeorgeAn outline / syllabus of an introduction course in Visual Arts.Item Letter from President Lewis Webster Jones to Peter Drucker(1942-05-11) Jones, Lewis WebsterItem Letter from Peter Drucker to President Lewis Webster Jones(1942-05-16) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005Item Letter from Marjorie Bebee to Peter Drucker(1942-06-03) Beebe, MarjorieItem Letter from Peter Drucker to Marjorie Beebe(1942-06-04) Drucker, Peter F, 1909-2005Item Letter from Barbara Jones to Peter Drucker(1942-06-10) Jones, BarbaraItem
