 Although the Lit Hum syllabus is among the most ironclad in all the Core Curriculum, parts are subject to change and modification due to instructor discretion, [[grad student strikes]], and other unforseen circumstances. In Fall [[2006]], for example, the standard first semester syllabus, normally all Greek and Biblical texts, was altered to include a modern play by [[Vaclav Havel]], who was on campus at the time as [[artist in residence]]. Still, modifications are often minor - a different Greek play substituted for the ''[[Medea]]'', an additional [[Shakespeare]] play, another [[Homer]]ic poem, etc. Such changes can mean that one becomes lost when your friend from another section begins discussing an anomalous inclusion, like ''[[The Baccahe]]'', but the majority of the curriculum is fairly standard. A greater schism may open with a much older alumnus of Columbia College, who might remember a time when Milton, Voltaire, and/or Goethe appeared on the syllabus. The following table is intended to include all works in current use (either this year or in the past two or three years):
