MR. SKILLINGS. MR. NEUSE GERMAN Tlic present conflict in Europe seems to have h.ui little effect on the interest in German at Middlebury College. German was the first modern language introduced at Middlebury College, and it is still a popular subject althougii the number of German majors is not large. HISTORY The 1 listory Department at Middle- bur - provides a broad background of I uropean and American history with special concentration in each field. The department offers also invaluable cor- relation with other major courses. Eng- lish, American Literature and Political Science majors find history courses to dove-tail perfectly with their field of concentration. An historical back- ground is necessary for almost every course. There is opportunity to do much supplementary reading in all the liistory courses. This permits wide choice in readings and a student may follow the historical branch in which he is most interested: art, music, sci- ence and others. Courses in historical method are provided for students who wish to teach history. ASST PROF JAMES S PRENTICE. ASST PROF JOHN P DAVISON.

PROF. HAZELTINE. MR. GILLETTE PROF BOWKER. PROF. WILEY V ATHEMATICS The department is .i popular one for those who take Mathematics for its own sake and for those who want to correlate it with their major. A solid back- ground is given to future teachers of the subject. MUSIC .• I though the Music Department is well equipped to instruct in practical courses, its main objective is to culti- vate an appreciation of music based on a broad knowledge of musical form . nd hi story. Courses arc offered in harmony, counterpoint, musical form, and his- tory and literature of music. Indica- tive of the worth of the purely aca- demic courses is the popularity of Music 32, an introductory course in the history and appreciation of music. The regular head of the department. Professor L. J. Hathaway, has been on sabbatical leave this past year, but with the aid of the gifted pianist, Cameron McGraw ' 40, Professor Bedford, Mr. Carter, and Mr. Dickinson have as- sured the continued success of the de- partment.
