The School of General Science A generation or S( ) ago there were only a few professions which the colleges and uni- versities were preparing their graduates to iMiter. The law, medicine and the ministry almost exhausted the list. In this day, the number of distinct profes- sions, e ach with a separate background of training and each with a separate technique of its own. runs up almost into the hundreds. The increase is one of the results of this age of research anrl invention, which has devel- 0])ed hundreds of new lines of actix ' itv and hundreds of new upportvmities for service. The demand of complex modern life for trained men lays a burden upon our educa- tional institiuions which State College has long realized and which it is continuing to meet within its particular field. The School of General Science prepares its students for professional careers in the various fields of business, science and teaching, such as, managerial and executive positions in industry, banking, general retail and wholesale btisiness, marketing, professional farm management, agricultural journalism, chemistry, teaching of agriculture, science and trades and industries in the high schools, as well as laying the foundation for graduate work leading to positions with the government, or of teaching or research in the colleges and universities. The School is in a strong position to do its work. Besides its numerous cultural courses in English. Mathematics, Foreign Languages, etc., and the foun- dation courses in its various vocational curricula, it draws upon both the schools of Agriculture and Engineering for the technical subjects necessary to round out the training of its students. The marked increase in the number of students in General Science is an indication of the great ])eriod of industrial development which the state is ap- parently just entering.

THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Dr. Harrison More and more are tliouglitful men coming to realize the neces- sity of counteracting the materialistic tendencies in education and in life by devoting more time to the study of literature, that record of the intellectual and spiritual progress .if nur race. Kor the real joys, for the deepest satisfactions of life, u ' ource is so surely unfailing lis great literature. The Department of KngliNh is aide to offer for the ne.xt year L really broadened courses in the fundamentals in composition and in Hteralure. Other special courses are being developed in Public Speak- ing, in Husiness English, and in . griciiltural, Commercial, and Kngi- necring Journalism. The Dep,irtinent is planning, too, a four-year course with English as a major subject, and a graduate course lead- ing to the master ' s degree, designed to prepare men to teach the sub- net in Ncicational high schools. The Departmenl of I ' nglish is keeping pace in expansion with the itlier Departments of Oeater Stale College. The ne.xt step is a School of English to give tlie subject a position commensurate with its importance. DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY ST.ATISTICS -XS TO CIIE. IIC.

In short, every sense a))i)eal should be made ;ind every moment shonld be conserved for use and drill in the langua.ge if one hopes to olitain a mastery of the subject, . notlier factor of ital importance Ims to do with the customs, habits, institutions, and genrral life of the ])eoi)le whose language is being studied. That is to say, the suc- cessful acquisition of a modern language recpiires that one think ;ls far as possible as the jieople who speak the language think, that he get their ])oint of view : and it calls also for a discipline of mind and a broadening in cultural outlook th.it makes for a happier individual and a better citizen. Such intensive and cultural training as this our Department of . lcidcrn Languages is pbicing at the conmiand of our students. Page Twenty-two
