"As a CMC student, I had to take my Classics major at Scripps and Pomona."

Anyone who goes to CMC for a degree other than Economics or Political Science has chosen the wrong school. With a student body of around 1,000, it cannot have many great majors.

Classics?

We did have a Western Civ. requirement for Class of '84.

I was in the PPE program, which is why I came to CMC. Classics though was something I did at Pomona and Scripps. No the Western Civ requirement was essentially shut down and a class in civilizations of the world was instituted. It was quite a loss to the remaining conservative faculty members who championed western civ. You should read up on recent developments that perhaps were overlooked in the Alumni mag.

The double major program in management and engineering CMC shares with Mudd isn't bad.

IMHO the whole 5 college campus has been resting on its laurels for quite some time.

Sheesh, everyone knows you went to CMC to be a Merkle/Hoskins double major :o). This incident is actually making Jack Stark look like a tough guy.
