The privilege of an education places a responsibility upon us - a respon- sibility to participatenin the civic affairs of our immediate community and to be interested in the welfare of the men and women who make up that community - a responsibility to understand and to cast our votes wisely in matters of state and national importance. And we begin our thinking on these matters in history class, in sociology, psychology, business law, and in economics. Many of our graduates will find their vocations stemming directly from these very subiects. Social workers, politicians, government employees, law- yers, all must have an active interest in matters in this field. We have chosen to represent, this department in picture through the legal profession. All social sciences are necessary foundations for law. Sociology gives us the fundamentals of human relationship which are so greatly needed in this profession. We must know how laws came into being, why some laws are obeyed and others difficult to enforce. Through the study of economics we learn the basic principles that govern our business. From history we get the story of our development as a nation and a picture of our position in the family of nations. Our three future lawyers pictured here can well learn from'our alumnus in the legal profession that happiness in the iob comes not alone from pouring over musty law books but from giving full measure to those matters that.

Digests, such as Our Times, prepared for classroom use, give us a chance to argue, question and interpret exciting present-day events. Typical of such classes is the one pictured below with Eileen Crist acting as student chairman of Mr. Franz Briclcman's class. Through training af- forded by such discussions we hope to develop into open-minded, well- intormed citizens tor tomorrow's Springfield. RLISS-ffl H 5, if-IN 17, 'FL ----f- Y pgzirumawamg
