1.Comps Talks This year's Physics comps talks begin on Monday. In general, through the rest of winter term and the first part of spring term, these talks will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays. Seniors attend as official participants, but the talks are public, and anyone interested is encouraged to attend. Junior majors are particularly urged to take in a few, just to have an idea of what's ahead for you next year! You may wish to read the comps prepapers--five-page documents--which are on reserve in the Science Library before attending.

2.Thermo and Quantum Spring Term will be changed to 1A. Sorry!
