 === De Bary Report ===
-De Bary was the author of the ''Report of the Commission on the Core Curriculum'', better known as the ''de Bary Report'', a study of the [[Core Curriculum]] issued in [[1988]]. The report was a sober assessment of the state of the Core, and it made realistic proposals for reestablishing it that were not followed. Another part of its legacy was a proposal for the establishment of an 'Extended Core'. A reduced version of this would become the [[Major Cultures]] requirement of present day.
