by Student author from class on the History of The New School
The photo on the left is the cover photo for the New Schools Spring of 1942 course catalog and on the right is the 1944 school bulletin. In 1942 the school was still called The New School for Social Research, while in ‘44 we see a change- the introduction of The School of Politics and the School of Philosophy and Liberal Arts — the first divisions of the Bachelors Program.
Above are two images, from pages 13 and 14 of the 1944 New School Bulletin, describing the division of the school into The School of Politics and School of Philosophy and Liberal Arts.
Above, labeled number 34 is one of Professor Charles’ Abrams lectures that he gave in 1960. It is called “Unsolved Problems in a Changing World.” This lecture was about land policy, and minorities involving distribution of land. Charles Abrams was an international expert on urban issues, particularly housing, and taught at The New School for over thirty years.
