FACULTY OF ARTS
Dear Ellen,
The enclosed material deals-with the establishment of a new
course in Archaeology. I won't be able to make any FMCC meetings,
because I'm teaching on Thursdays. However, I don't anticipate any
problems in getting tne new course approved.
For the information of other FMCC members
1. This course reflects the research inteeests of a newly
appointed faculty member, who is internationally known
for her work in this field.
.2. The course nas been taught a number of times before as a
Special
!opics
course, with very gooa enrollments.
3.
o, we do not anticipate any suggestions that tnis course
. ?
conflicts" with offerings in other departments.such as
Biology.
4.
I cannot change the course title or calendar description without
consulting Dr. Galdikas, who will be in the Borneo rain forests
until christmas.
5.
The subject matter of the course is entirely appropriate to
our department, because Physical Anthropology courses are
currently offered through trie Department of Archaeology, as are
and Pn.fl. programmes.
I hope these comments anticipate any comments from FMCC,
Ysincèrely,

Primate Behaviour has been included in our collections
profiles for several years and we have supported this course
as a special topics offering for some time. In fact we already
have at least one copy of each of the 23 titles mentioned in
the reading list as well as a reasonably substantial body of
supplementary sources.
However, we are lacking subscriptions to the two journals
which should be added if this course is to be a permanent part
of the curriculum.
Annual costs for these journals, at present exchange rates,
would be as follows:
1)
International Journal of Primatology
?
$165.00
2)
American Journal of Primatology
?
495.00
$660.00/year
