The department of languages at Middle Tennessee State College is one of the best in the South. In the five years that have passed since the arrival of its present head. Dr. Richard C. Peck, the department has doubled its staff, expanded and intensified its curriculum and in general raised considerably the standards and academic qualifications of the students it produces. Beginning with 1946, the requirement for majors m English climbed to 45 hours, and the following year a semi- nar program was introduced making the department unique at Middle Tennessee State in offering a comprehensive exami- nation to its majors. In the same year. Lane Boutwell took over in the field of speech. He has since then brought the number of hours offered from 15 to 27 and inserted a variety of new equipment and technique. In sponsoring the campus dramatic club and speech- arts society, Mr. Boutwell has furthered graphically the area of the department. In foreign languages, French and Spanish are the most popu- lar. Miss Elizabeth Schardt, head of the foreign languages section, has been at MTSC longer than anyone in the depart- ment. Her background of extensive European and South American travel and experience makes foreign language courses interesting and realistic. Right: Instruction is given in the art of debating. Below: A report in process at the seminar table. Right: Languages other than English are studied SOCIAL SCIENCE Courses m the department of Social Science are designed for those who will teach or for those who enter various fields of service related to the social studies. It is among the oldest in the college. Max Souby and Miss Katherine Monahan were the first teachers in the department with Dr. C. C. Sims, present head of the department, joining the faculty in 1922. Other instructors in the department at present include W. B. Judd, economics, Dr. Edward Baldwin, geography, Robert Corlew, history and orientation; Miss OUie Green, geography; Clayton L. James, sociology; Dr. Robert L. Martin, economics; Gene H. Sloan, law and orienta- tion; Roscoe L. Strickland, political science and history; Dr. Charlotte Williams, political science and history. More than 30 graduates from this department have com- pleted the doctorate degree and now occupy responsible positions in educational leadership over the nation. A minimum of 18 hours in social science, including nine hours of American history or American government is re- quired for graduation. One may offer a major or a minor in the social sciences or the related divisions in history, political science, economics, sociology and geography. Majors in the social sciences are required to take far more than the 36 hours usually required for a major that prepara- tions in all subjects in the social studies may be adequate for teaching. A minor in the department is offered for graduate students. C. C. SiMMS, History; Edw. ' rd B. B. ldwin, Geography; Robert E. Corlew, Social Science; Ollie Green, Geography; Robert L. M.

Eldrfo Wiser, Chemistry; Charles Hull, Chemistry; Douglas Shields, Physics. Two separate and distinct departments of correlated scientific study are presented here as one. The objectives of both departments may be summarized as follows: ade- quate preparation and training both in fundamental scientific principles and in biological, chemical, and physical skills, permitting immediate practical activities in all three; and the development of a scientific philosophy effecting an in- telligent reaction to changing social and physical environ- ments. Middle Tennessee State College is perhaps one of the best equipped colleges in this area in the field of science. A separate laboratory for each year of chemistry, except physical chemistry, is provided for the benefit of the stu- dent. There is one large laboratory for all of the work in physics, and there are six biology laboratories in full-time operation. The Science Department offers majors in Biology, Chemistry, Science, and Science Medical. A biology major consists of forty hours made up of the general courses along with special- ized ones such as embryology, field zoology, and field botany; included in the forty-eight hours required for a chemistry major are such specialized courses as qualitative, physical, volumetric, and gravimetic chemistry; a Science major is compiled of a minor in chemistry and biology, and one year of physics; the last major offered is designed for students who complete three years of college work, and then transfer and graduate from a medical college.

EDUCATION The chief function of Middle Tennessee State College is the training of teachers. This involves the selection, the guidance, the general education, and the professional training of those m residence and in service. Ninety per cent of the graduating class this year will qualify for teaching certificates. The staff members of the department of education are well qualified by experience and advanced professional train- ing to plan a thorough pre-service training program for teachers as well as to serve as consultants to teachers in service. The facilities of the Murfreesboro Central High School as well as the excellent campus Training School of the college are available for laboratory experiences in teacher training. Experienced classroom teachers supervise the internship training of all college students working for teaching certifi ' cates at both the elementary and the secondary levels. The developments in education and in national and inter ' national affairs require that teachers in service have an op ' portunity to attain higher levels of training to meet the pro- fessional issues which are pressing upon them. To provide the professional training to fulfill these needs a fifth year of work leading to the M.A. degree will be offered beginning in the summer of 1951. This graduate program, like the under- graduate, will be adjusted to conditions as they are in Tennes- see and will be motivated by the power that clear under- standing, close cooperation, and warm appreciation of the problems involved can generate. f f How.OiRD KiRKSEY.

May Saunders; Music; Mary Dillon Scott, V ay o, Helen Trivett, ' Muiic; Margaret Wright, Music. The Music Department of Middle Tennessee State College has a three- fold purpose : to train special teachers of music, to furnish music experiences for all interested students at the college, and to provide some music experi- ence for all elementary education majors. An ever expanding faculty and curriculum are progressively allowing the department to meet these needs. During the past two years another field has been unfolding — that of training teachers already in the field. It is thought that perhaps this music department has done more in this area than any other comparable school m this part of the country. Outside of regular classroom work, the Music Department advertises the school and furnishes rewarding experiences to the students through the marching band, concert band, chorus, orchestra. Sacred Harp Singers and various ensembles. During football season the band marches at all the games, and throughout the balance of the year all of the organizations appear in the high schools of Middle Tennessee as well as in local concerts. Graduates of this department are contributing greatly to the musical life of Tennessee and in several states throughout the country including Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Missouri, Louisiana, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION The ob)ectives of the department of health, physical education and recrea- tion are: (1) to provide opportunity for the student to develop and maintain the best possible physical well-being, (2) to provide opportunity for the student to obtain knowledge of and develop skill in wholesome leisure time activities, (3) to provide opportunity for the student to adjust socially and emotionally, (4) to provide professional training in this field for elementary teachers and those interested in a career in this field, (5) to cooperate with other departments and groups in the school to the end that each student has opportunity to develop to the extent of his ability into a capable, stable, useful personality. Emphasis m the service program is on corecreation and activities which can be enjoyed in after-school life. Activities include archery, badminton, golf, bowling, tennis, tumbling, swimming, wrestling, folk, square, modern and tap dance, volleyball, speedball, softball, football, soccer, basketball and baseball. Students completing the professional program are qualified as volunteer and professional leaders and instructors in physical education, athletics, health and safety education, and recreation for elementary and secondary schools, organized summer camps, community playgrounds, adult organiza- tions, and public service and industrial groups. The physical education plant is one of the finest in the southeast. Ample classroom and indoor play .space and the usual outdoor play areas will be augmented by eight new tennis courts, a new swimming pool and solarium, and a nine-hole golf course. Plans are underway for securing a camp where an integrated program of outdoor education can be conducted. f I A Charles M.

In September, 1911, the Manual Arts Department of Middle Tennessee State Normal opened under the direction of Mr. Clark Woodward. The department occupied nearly the entire north wing under the auditorium, comprising a woodworking room 24 x 56 feet, art-metal shop, drafting room, exhibit room and storage room each 22 x 26 feet. The following courses were offered: Cardboard Construction, Basketry, Elementary Sloyd, Exercises in Jomtery, Cabinet Construction, Sheet-Copper and Brass Work and Mechani- cal Drawing. In the fall of 1934, Mr. O. L. Freeman, a graduate of this institution and also a graduate of Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, returned as head of the department. At that time the department offered only woodworking and mechanical drawing and had a total of 54 students registered. The department today has a modern industrial plant comprising six unit shops and a general shop with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of modern equipment. There are five full time faculty members and close to 400 students registered. Graduate work in this department will be offered, beginning with the summer quarter, 1951. Graduates of this department have established a name for themselves throughout the nation m this field of education. They are holding positions ranging from elementary Industrial Arts teachers to heads of college depart- ments. This department only recently was given national recognition by the American Council of Industrial Arts Teacher Education and the name of Middle Tennessee State College Industrial Arts Department was listed in Who ' s Who in American Colleges in Industrial Arts Teacher Education.

Channels for entirely different areas of skill and leadership began to develop in areas of specialization realistically pertinent m their timeliness. An ROTC cadet may be deferred to complete four years of college, and graduates are offered commissions as Second Lieutenants m the Organized Reserve. Commissions in the Regular Army are offered to a selected number of graduates. That participation in the ROTC program is a desirable manner to gain a college education and serve one ' s country can be expressed by the fact that approximately 100,000 ROTC graduates served in grades from Second Lieutenant to Brigadier General during World War IL The facilities of the MTSC armor unit have been described as some of the best m the Southeastern area. Indoor rifle range, complete office, class- rooms, and storage space covering 10,800 square feet are all housed in the basement floor of the Alumni Memorial Health and Physical Education building. Acres of drill and field maneuver area and seven well-equipped shops are immediately adjacent; heavy mobile equipment is stored in a con- venient armory nearby. Members of the ROTC have the opportunity to become members of the Cadet Corps Band. They may also qualify as members of the Corps Rifle Team, competing with other college units and firing in the Hearst matches. Lt. Col. Robert J. MacLean, PMS fi ' T; First Lt. Charles A.

AGRICULTURE The Agriculture Department of Middle Tennessee State College has as its primary objective the training of those students interested in teaching agriculture in the high schools of our state and the preparation of other stu- dents for successful careers in practical farming. This objective forms the foundation of the building of better rural communities by better farming and improved farm living in the future. In addition to this major objective, the department prepares some stu- dents for employment in agricultural services, such as extension work, farm and home administration, and soil conservation; trains some to serve as tech ' nicians or salesmen for feed, seed, fertilizer, or farm equipment companies; and trains others who plan to continue their education in graduate fields m the science of agriculture.

The department also aims at giving sound fundamental training to those who will spend their lives serving rural people m various fields of endeavor to the end that they may better understand those with whom they work and that they may render a fuller service in their chosen field. In addition to those professors pictured above. Dr. C. N.

Knapp Home Economics Myrtle Agnes Nelson Home Economics Home Economics has been one of the departments of the college since the college opened in 1911. This department offers a full four-year course leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, with certification for the teach- ing of home economics. In addition to teaching, the department qualifies young women for home demonstration work and lunch room supervision, and if offers basic training in costume designing, textile work, interior decorating, and the varied fields of Home Economics. It is the philosophy ot the department to provide a learning situation in the total program of the college whereby any student, man or woman, may acquire training in fundamental areas of personal living, and of home and family life teaching. To that end more and more courses are being provided for all the students, and increasing numbers of college students are electing such courses. For those students with a professional interest in home economics, the work is divided into the three major areas of clothing and textiles, foods and nutrition, and home administration. There are fifty-four hours of required study in these areas, which fulfill all requirements for general home economics teaching. The Cafeteria and Student Union building completed this year will provide excellent facilities for expanding home economics training ii:j the areas of institutional management, quantity cookery, and buyiij. It will also provide additional areas for social activities sponsored by the home economics department and Home Economics Club. Catherine Clark Librarian Mary Nelson Bates Regional Librarian Ambrose Easterly Librarid?! fiAlb The Library, located in the center of the campus, is a friendly place of recreational reading as well as a vital educational factor performing an important role in the teaching service of Middle Tennessee State College. Nearly all courses and many extra-curricular activities involve use of the facilities which have been carefully chosen for the work and interests of the students and faculty. The Library collection contains more than thirty thousand books as well as several thousand pamphlets. There are about four thousand volumes of bound periodicals and over two hundred magazines to which students have access. To keep the collection up to date, approximately 3000 volumes were added during the past year. The Library also has a small collection of audio-visual materials. The Regional Library, with its headquarters in the college library under the supervision of Miss Mary Nelson Bates, serves eight Middle Tennessee counties. The college Library is staffed by Miss Catherine Clark and Mr. Am- brose Easterly, and a number of student assistants. Plans are under way for the construction of a new Library building in the near future. BUSINESS ADMINSTRATION Elwin Midgett Accounting Henrietta Myers Wade Stenography On January 1, 1939, the Business Administration Department began at Middle Tennessee State College as a division of the Social Science Department. Accountmg, shorthand and typewriting were its only offerings. Advanced accounting and auditing, together with the busi- ness education courses, methods and materials m accounting, and methods and materials in stenography, were added for the school year 1939-1940. Advanced stenography and business law were included in the curricu- lum for 1942-1943. In 1945 cost accounting and business machines were added, and the division of Accounting, Secretarial Science, Business Education and Business Law were combined to form a new department which was named the Department of Commerce. In 1946 the name of the department was changed to the Business Administration Department, and in 1948 a course in advertising was added to the business curriculum. Three additional quarter hours of accounting are to be added in the fall of W. ' il. The department offers two majors. Business Administration and Secretarial Science and Teacher-Training. Its graduates are certified to teach any business subject taught in the secondary schools of the state, are prepared for responsible business positions, and to manage and operate businesses of their own. The objective of a broad general business educa- tion is met by requiring students to take related business courses such as business mathematics, business organization and management, labor problems, marketing, statistics, and public finance, in other departments of the college. AVIATION Miller Lanier iiii The Aviation Department at Middle Tennessee State was formed in 1941. MTSC is one of four colleges and universities in the United States that operates its own airport. All phases of aviation work are offered in the well-rounded department, including instruction in navigation, meter- ology, radio. Civil Air Regulations, aircraft and engine structure, and flight. In the latter, it is possible for students to get their private and commercial licenses and instructor ' s rating. In the past five years 450 students have received pilot licenses at the airport. Two Piper Cubs are used in pilot training and a four-place Stinson is used for radio and navigation work. The department has its own building for ground school instruction, which is equipped with a Link trainer, engines, and instruments. Mock-ups of all types of instru- ments are also used as training aids. More than 300 students are trained each year in the department. MATH Horace G. Jones Mathematics ToMMiE Reynolds Mathematics The Mathematics Department of the College was established when the college was founded in 1911. The first professor of mathematics was P. A. Lyon, later president of the college. Professor Lyon remained with the mathematics department until 1921 when he was replaced by Horace G. Jones, who still holds the position of head of the Mathematics Depart- ment. Miss Tommie Reynolds was assistant professor of mathematics from 1911 to 1922 when she went to Peabody to get her master ' s degree. She returned in 1923 and from 1923-44 taught both physical education and mathematics. From 1944 until the present she has taught only mathe- matics. The Mathematics Department offers the standard four years of mathe- matics found at most four year colleges. In addition, it offers one methods course in the teaching of mathematics and a year of surveying. It also offers a year of special business math designed for business majors. ART Hester Rogers Art The Middle Tennessee State College Art Department was one of the first departments established in the college. The primary aim of this department has always been to meet the particular needs of the elementary school teachers of the state. There- fore the main offerings have been in the field of Art Education. In recent years, however, some courses have been offered to meet the demands of students who are particularly interested in the art field. Other courses of an appreciational nature are offered for students in general. Majors in art are found in almost every graduating class. The majority of these go on to other colleges and secure a master ' s degree in art before attempting to teach art as a special subject. TRAINING Roy J.

The Department of Military Science and Tactics of Middle Tennessee State College has as its purpose the presentation and supervision of military instruction in accordance with programs prescribed by the Department of the Army. The Department of Military Science and Tactics functions as an Armor Unit, Senior Division Reserve Officer ' s Training Corps. The developing of qualities of leadership required m both military and civil enterprises; the imparting of specialized knowl- edge and skills; and the offering of a commission as Second Lieu ' tenant in the Organized Reserve Corps to the graduates and, to a selected few, a commission as Second Lieutenant m the RegU ' lar Army are among the objectives of the college ROTC. The Reserve Officer ' s Training Corps of this institution started operation m the fall quarter of 1950. The first institu- tion of higher education which prescribed military training as part of Its curriculum was the American Literary, Scientific and Military Academy (now Norwich University) in Northfield, Vermont. It was founded in 1819 by Captain Adlen Partridge, former Superintendent of the United States Mihtary Academy. i I i J iL Ah jL Ji 1 ROTC BASIC First Row: Reeves, Paschal, Ogg, O ' Brien, Mayo, Mc- Grew, Ray, Crunk, Alsup.

The Morrill Act of 1862 provided federal grants for educa- tional institutions at which military tactics might be taught. Following the Civil War, the states established colleges and universities under the Act and miUtary science and tactics formed part of their curriculum. The Army was authorized by a series of laws passed after 1870 to lend personnel and equip- ment to institutions that offered military courses. The Reserve Officer ' s Training Corps as it is known today was authorized by the National Defense Act of 1916. The first 190 ofEcers commissioned under the program were graduated in 1920. Since the passage of the Act, the ROTC has been the chief source of the nation ' s Reserve officers, approximately 150,000 having been commissioned by 1949. Between 1920 and 1949, over 2,000,000 ROTC enroUees received some basic military training. During World War II, some 100,000 graduates of ROTC units served in the armed forces, ranging in rank from Second Lieutenant to Brigadier General.

SPORTS iders, 1951 The year l950-51 will be fondly recalled when old grads start rehashing the athletic past of the Blue Raiders. The Raiders this year began to appear in big time competition and the future isindeed promising. Coach Charles Murphy, former Raider gridiron star, and his associates put together a football machine which will long be remembered in Tennessee pigskin records. The Raiders this year took a trip to Beaumont, Texas, and came away with a corral full of Cardinals from Lamar College — 28 to 0. Also, to prove that they were not just a good small college team, they toppled two Ohio Valley Conference stalwarts, and everyone began to wonder just how good the team really was. The best indication of the squad ' s real power came in the post-season selections for Little All American and All Conference honors. Murphy placed three men on the coveted Little All American teams and six men on the All Conference selections. Runion, Arnold, and Lyons gained recognition in the All American circles, while Burnette, Alsup, and McCoy, as well as the three All Americans, were named on the All Conference team. Coach Charlie Greer, serving his second year as basketball m:ntor, put together a team with three lettermen; and although they got off to a poor start, before the season was over they had gained revenge for many of their earlier losses. The progress made by this junior ball club can be seen in their VSAC tourna- ment play where they knocked over a highly touted Union five and gave the conference champs, David Lipscomb, a real scare before running out of gas in the last minutes of play. With this club returning almost intact next year the round bailers of the blue and white should bring some real fancy basketball to Raider followers. The baseball addicts found in Durwood Stowe ' s club a team very much to their likmg. They presented a club with poise, power, and pitching and for the third straight year walked away with the Volunteer State Athletic Conference crown. Coach Ch.-vrles Murphy confers with C.- ptains Jim McCoy AND Frank Atchley Coach Murphy takes over the position vacated by Mr. Stowe this spring, and in his own words looks forward to a promising season. Bill Clark and Frank Ford led the Raider tennis team to one of its better seasons in 1950. With the return of Clark again this spring the Raiders net squad should place high in confer- ence competition. Golf, coached by Francis Riel, has always been one of the stronger spring sports on the campus. The teams have dis- played some fine talent on the Conference links. This year the squad retains three of its four members, so the Raiders followers look to the coming of spring with a great deal of interest. When Coach Hayes came to the Middle Tennessee State College campus he brought with him a brand-new sport. For the first time in our history we have entered a wrestling team in intercollegiate competition. With a new sport and an in- terested group. Coach Hayes presented to the wrestling fans a versatile aggregation of mat men. The brighter lights of the group were Speedy Speegle and Jim Loftin. Track was largely on an intramural basis this year due to the poor condition of the cinder path and the lack of necessary equip- ment. The season began with question marks, but when it was all over the Raiders were VSAC champs for the second consecutive time. The curtain raiser found the Raiders taking the navy Hellcats from Millington naval air base with some new stars in Jim Babb and Garnet Rather — 33 to 0. The Raider cavalry and aerial assault was outgunned in Nashville the next week-end and was tripped by a more experi- enced Vanderbilt dreadnought 47 - The Vanderbilt defeat did nothing more than whet the Raider appetite for victory and a powerless Milligan Buffalo was slaugh- tered 48-6. Never had a Raider eleven displayed such a devas- tating attack both on the ground and in the air, and when the assault subsided the Murphymen threw up an impregnable de- fense. The machine next went on display at Union University and took all the fight out of the Bulldogs 43-0. The highlight of the game was the Raider defense, which turned the Union offense into a Raider scoring device; Bill Derrick scored 12 points on intercepted passes. Austin Peay was the next victim. Murphy ' s marauders sur- passed them 34-14, and the conference crown began to appear on the horizon. On a cold, rainy night the Raider machine balked when with- out the service of its front-line seige guns it bowed to Moore- head ' s aerial circus 31-7. The Raiders, led by Don Stotser and Bob Searcy, gave the fans something to shout about early in the first half, but Moorehead ' s passing found the range after inter- mission and went on to hand the Blue and White their second defeat. If Raider followers had any doubts as to the ability of the club to regain its early season poise and confidence their doubts were ■ iOi SO, 49 = ' 67 33 GO iy. 45 SV. ' 1950_V. S. A. C.

The squad came back to Jones Field the following Friday night and gave the local fans an excellent example of a rejuvenated ball club when they defeated an off an ' on Florence State team 26-14. Murphy ' s chargers showed their real worth here, for Florence shifted her offense from the T formation to a single wmg during the game and the Raider defensive alignment coped with the situation nicely. If the homecoming crowd came seeking revenge for last year ' s only tie with Murray they were more than pleased, for an under- dog Raider eleven broke the Murray Thoroughbred 34-14 in one of the best games of the season. After the turf had settled and victory was m the bag, the fans wondered just how good a club they had seen. The Raiders had stepped into the Ohio Valley Conference and defeated the best it had to offer. Here was a team and conference win which would long be remembered. With the conference crown in his poke. Murphy and his chargers boarded a plane for the wild and wooly plains of Texas, This was a new role for the Raiders, for they traveled 750 miles to Lamar College and it was the first time any Raider team had flown to a contest. The Cardinals of Lamar found the Ten- nessee Raiders too hot to handle and fell 28-0. Maxie Runion scored three of the tallies and thereby became the high scorer for the year with a total of 60 points. Thanksgiving Day was celebrated in Cookeville and sixteen seniors bowed out of gridiron warfare by plucking a fighting but outgunned Tech Eagle 27-7- Max Arnold, Jim McCoy and the others seniors left little doubt m the Tech camp as to the Raider ability to score from any position or throw back the Eagle assault. The balance of attack and a mobile defense were the keynotes of the Raider football success. One of the greatest small college teams in the country, they broke many team and conference records. They scored 303 points while giving up 139; they gained a total of 2,824 yards. Three men were mentioned for Little All American positions and six men were on the All Conference team.

Second Row: Campbell, Veach, Johnson, Canada, Forrester, Everett Cox, Ray Cox, and Coach Charley Greer. Coach Charles Greer began his season with three experienced men and a hopeful group of B-team graduates. The team got off to a slow start, but as the season progressed so did the club. When the campaign was over they were playing a good brand of basketball. This junior club with its ofF-and-on tactics set some new Raider and Ten- nessee records in the hardwood sport. In the game with Milligan they scored 106 points to surpass all previous efforts of a Raider combine or any Tennessee combine. This game also produced the grand total of 199 points for an all-time high m the VSAC. The leading scorer for Greer ' s goalmcn was Ray Cox with 236. The only senior on the club was Everett Cox. The final team record was: 8 won, 14 lost. Coach Greer watches the Raiders at work. All Tournament, Ben Canada Ray Cox, High Scorer, hooks a shot.

For the third consecutive year Coach Durwood Stowe and his diamond charges brought home the VSAC crown. The diamond performers gave their springtime followers many a thrill before they finally secured the crown. In baseball as well as football and basketball the Raiders invaded the nearby conferences, and they usually brought home the bacon. The secret of the Raiders ' success was timing. When the team was off in batting percentage the pitchers would spin some beautiful games. The most reliable starters proved to be J. B. Proctor and Bob Veach.
