A nation ' s language can give a student the temperament and way of thinking that is peculiar to every great lan- guage. By studying a nation ' s language and litera- ture, one better understands the people and history of that nation for language is a kind of living histo- ry- MRS. MARIE-JEANNE MARTS MR.

MR. CHARLES WOJCI K MR. JOSEPH CLARK SCIENCE Science is the great antidote to the poisons of ignorance and superstition. Adam Smith The study of science is offered as an alternative to the superficial explanations of superstition and the facile acceptance of ignorance. By offering logical explanation of puzzling natural phenomena, science helps students understand how logical explanations are deduced. Sci- ence enables students to solve problems which appear at first glance impossible, thus increasing students ' confi- dence in the powers of reason and logic. It is important for students to understand and have confidence in scien- tific explanation, for man by nature is too willing to use superstition to explain what he cannot understand or to ignore it entirely.

MISS ANNA GRAHAM SOCIAL STUDIES No man ever saw a government. I live at the very center of the government of the United States, hut I have never seen the government of the United States. Woodrow Wilson Courses in social studies teach the student to deal on a prac- tical basis, with theories and ideas which are completely abstract. Social studies concentrates on concepts and forces which no one will ever see. Yet, perhaps because they are so abstract, these forces and ideas have a tremendous effect on our world. Social studies attempts to make students under- stand the true nature of the world by trying to reveal the abstractions which shape our society. MR. JAMES POWERS MR. ROBERT GARDNER MR. DAVID FELL 22
