aug 8, 1970 - Belknap committee recommends
ending CC HumAB as required
Description:
Cross, Oasis of Order: "When the Belknap Committee recommended ending CC and the Humanities as undergraduate requirements in 1970, there was considerable faculty support. Indeed, many still felt that any academic requirement was a mistake. But conservatism - once an obstacle to creating the core curriculum - now saved it, and the faculty narrowly defeated the Belknap Committee proposals"
