UCIAL SCIENCES ' ET's talk the whole thing over! That's the slogan of the Department of the Social Sciences. Any problem that may be agitating the student's mind has its place in some of the courses of this department at the time the problem is alive. A general life activity analysis is the basis for the departmental courses. For purposes of organization, system, and convenience, fairly specific courses, or lines of study, are organized. Philosophy, psy- chology, economics, current social problems, study techniques, and English represent some of the fields of investigation upon-which courses are based. The breadth of these fields and the problem-case arrangement of much of the subject-matter invite spontaneous dis- cussion of life problems of immediate or long-range interest to individuals. Because of the fact that the Department of the Social Sciences is a Service Depart- ment, offering Liberal courses to students in all of the technical departments, members of this department enjoy the advantage of contacting all students of the Institute. The Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute has taken a leading part among technical schools of the country in recognizing that modern life demands more of its participants than mere technical proficiency. Although We have been Working on these wider problems of student interest and student needs for over fifteen years, our program is by no means complete. We invite from students at all times the fullest and freest co-operation in making the time we have with them score high in usefulness and in human interest. CALVIN C. THOMASON Head of the Department of the Social .fciefzcer .29.

RET, flLlf G ow IXTEEN years ago the Retailing Department began training young men and women to take responsible positions in the distributive Held. Today approximately two hundred graduates are now engaged in various branches of this profession. Activities such as selling, buying, sales promotion, store management, personnel supervision, store training, customer service, and teaching retail subjects are carried on by these graduates. High standards of quality and quantity of work have won for them and for the department substantial recognition among employers. To its students this department continues to offer a balanced program of theory and practice carefully planned to meet the ever-changing requirements of this profession. During the past year knowledge of outstanding developments and new trends in retailing have been brought to the students by various store executives, by faculty members renewing their store experience, and by both students and faculty attending national retail conventions.
