New

Physics

Courses for

August 9, 1968

Approval by Senate.

I enclose descriptions of courses

Physics 100-3

and 001-3

which I explained in my earlier memorandum are intended to be

•

offered in the Fall Semester and the Spring Semester respectively.

In addition, the Department of Physics has recommended

some minor changes in course content of Physics 101-3.

102-3,

.•

211-3

and 221-3.

In the opinion of the Executive'Comniittec, on

behalf of the Faculty of Science, these changes are minor and

•

essentially of an editorial content and do not merit Senate.

0•

•

consideration.and approval.

However, if, in your opinion, presentation of this material

•

to Senate would be considered prudent, the relevant course

descriptions are included for your information
