Mr. John Dotterer, Dr. Ralph Shively PHVSICS . . . Physics is the branch of knowledge dealing with ma- terials and phenomena of the world, such as mechanics, heat, light, electricity, sound, and the branches of science devoted to the study of radi- ations and atomic structure.

Humanities HumoniTiES ... To develop the student ' s mental culture by presenting to him refined learning is the aim of the division of Humanities, whose chairman is Dr. Lloyd Hoff. The courses are presented primarily for their aesthetic, rather than for informational or utilitarian, values. They emphasize forms, move- ments, and masterpieces in each field, with special attention given to the classics. In each department an at- tempt is made to give the student the basis for evaluation which he needs in order to enjoy his surround- ings and broaden his judgment. Mr. F. E. Reed, Mr. Henry Gladc HRT ... In the department of Art, courses are designed to furnish the student with a background for understanding the arts, to enlarge his appreciation for the art in his everyday life, and to help him find the beauty in func- tional as well as in fine art. The prac- tical applications of art, such as art in advertising, art in teaching, and art as applied to crafts are also pre- sented in recitation and laboratory experiences. Dr. Lloyd Hoff, Division Chjirnun LHRGURGE . . . Helping the student gain a working knowledge of the written and spoken language, an apprecia- tion of the literature, nature, and cultures of the countries in which the languages are spoken, and pre- paring students for graduate work — these are the aims of the depart- ment of Foreign Language. Gram- mar, conversation, and literature are emphasized. Mr. Max Allen
