Division of General Science Third: History and civics, eco- nomics and sociology, education and library economy, subjects through which the student is given some insight into the march of events through the centuries, the judgments of great minds upon past and present conditions, and the means by which the ever- coming new generation shall be put in touch with things as they are, that its members may more successfully modify them into the things that ought to be. Fourth: Military training, and physical training and athletics, de- partments especially devoted to conserving and developing the phy- sical endowment of the individual and the race, and to training through which physical security is safeguarded, and spiritual safety and growth are impossible. This Division is thus the center of education in the College, and the nucleus about which the technical, distinctively vocational departments cluster. More- over it has under its oversight the administration of several curricula the charac- teristic work of which is given by departments of the division.

Division ot General Science The Division of General Science includes some of the most impor- tant fields of instruction in the College, and more than one-half of the total teaching is done by the facult - of that Division, as well as much research work in scientific lines. These fields of instruction may be conveniently grouped as follows: First: Mathematics and the sciences, physics, chemistry, bot- any, zoology, entomology, and bacteriology. Mathematics pro- vides the procedure by which all phenomena and all relations, physi- cal, mental, and social, may be studied in a quantitative way; the sciences arm the student with knowledge that promotes his de- fense in the struggle with Nature, and equips him for co-operation with her. The sciences furnish the basis of scientific facts essential for much of the tech- nical work given in other Divisions. Second: F nglish, modern languages, industrial journalism and printing, public speaking, and music, channels through which oral and written thoughts are conveyed, the emotions aroused, and action initiated.
