Historical Note
The Cultural Heritage Program program was created in 1946 as a set of courses designed as the capstone to the general education phase of the Bates Plan, a post-war curriculum development requiring every student to study a broad variety of subjects, regardless of major. It was required of juniors and seniors, and comprised of four semesters of courses which focused on the study of historically important books, documents, and artwork in order to fill in knowledge gaps among general education subjects of the Bates Plan. It was colloquially known as "Cultch".
