The Committee on the HASS (Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences) Requirements was convened by Ann Friedlaender, Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Science, and Margaret MacVicar, Dean of Undergraduate Education, in July 1985 to evaluate the existing HASS requirements and to propose an alternative structure that would better serve the interest of students and faculty in the technology and scientific disciplines as well as humanities.1 The committee, chaired by Professor Pauline R. Maier of the history faculty, issued a final report in 1986.2
