Literature-Humanities: Summer Reading Assignment Clarification

Read more!

Dear Students,

Some of you have written and called the Core Office to express confusion at the fact that although you were told at Summer Advising Sessions that you were responsible for reading through Book 6 of the Iliad, Prof. Williams's letter states that you should read through Book 12.

We are e-mailing to clarify that indeed, as per Prof. Williams's letter, you should read through *Book 12*. (The assignment has fluctuated over the years, and so it makes sense we assumed, in advance of seeing Prof. Williams letter, that Books 1-6 would be the assignment this year, but it is in fact longer). We apologize for the confusion.

Best wishes for your first week,

Core Office Staff
