“Revolutions in Neuroscience”

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.

History Lesson: Seminar on Historical Evidence

Considered pioneering when it was created, a history class called “Seminar on Historical Evidence” was unparalleled in exposing majors to hands-on work in historical research. This approach has since been incorporated into the senior thesis process.

A series of photos taken in 2002 of students with their “Seminar on Historical Evidence” mystery artifact included Rebecca Harris '03, holding a 19th-century pocket watch shipping tin, and Arunabh Ghosh '03, holding a cheek block that was used to control the rigging and sails on a small sailing vessel.
