Classes such as higher algebra, calculus, and trigonometry are being offered for prospective teachers and for the men stu- dents enrolled in the reserve programs. There are also classes in industrial mathematics and insurance to help in the commercial v orld. This year, students hove found an added interest in the classes offered by the geography department, both because of friends in the armed forces located all over the world, and because of newspaper headlines of far-away, little known places. Students and prospective teachers of geography are guided in their studies by Professor James H. Glasgow and his staff. Changes in our world and why people live where they do is all part of the knowledge the students gain. GEOGRAPHY Glasgow Sill Cox

Fagerstrom. Such courses moke the student conscious of the vast store of historical facts from which an under- standing may be gained of some of the forces that have made society what it is. Students have unusual opportunities to de- velop their musical interests and abilities under the direction of Professor hiaydn M. Morgan and the musicf acuity at the conservatory on the campus. The choir, orchestra, and band offer valuable training in ensemble work while instruction in vocal and instrumental music prepares individuals for solo appearances. Frequent student recitals and concerts give everyone an opportunity to enjoy and ap- preciate the department s fine work.
