M.A. LIFE PROBLEMS CLASS The Life Problems class, conducted by Mrs. Andersen and Mr. Johnson. Deans, is primarily to answer questions brought up by the seniors. Marriage, vocations, business ond social ettiquette, how to find a job, and similar prob- lems are discussed in an effort to prepare the future graduate for a happy life with his associates. The actual benefits of this class will be seen in the success with which the students take their places in American life. Many other schools, all over the United States have initiated a similar course in their curriculum and, it is interesting to note, have colled such classes— Life Problems Closs. No other title seems to fit as well as this.
