M. BRILL S. LECKIE L. ROBERTS I m W. SEIFRIT LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE It is the desire of the Division of Language and Literature t hat every student become aware of the rich cultural heritage which is his. More important, its purpose is to provide opportunities for the stu- dent ' s expression and interpretation of his own ex- perience. Drama, debate, composition, and conver- sation are some of the division ' s outlets for this ex- pression. Once again this year the Canadian Players visited the campus under the auspices of this division. They presented two superb performances in Shakespeare ' s King Lear and Fry ' s The Lady ' s Not For Burn- ing. The division welcomed a plant addition when the Language House was opened in September. Two new classrooms, a language laboratory, and extra office space for the staff was made available. Dr. Leonard Roberts is the chairman of this division. M.

These depart- ments contribute generously to the enrichment of the religious and cultural life of the college community, by providing organists and choral music for the weekly chapel services, faculty recitals, band concerts, oratorio perform- ances, art exhibits, cooperation with the dramatic clubs ' productions, and other programs which require the use of these talents.

SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS Working under the leadership of Dr. Arthur B. Gould, the Division of Science and Mathematics successfully planned and activated numerous ac- tivities which not only gave Wesleyan an acceptable rating in the scientific field, but also contributed to the trend in experimentation. A newly established lab aided greatly in work concerning spectrosity and radio-active isotopes. Supplementing the academic year was an address given by Dr. Morton R. Rubin, a noted meteorologist who visited the Antarctic during the I.G.Y. Again this year, Wesleyan was host to the summer institute for junior high school teachers and outstanding high school students. This program is part of the National Science Foundation, and is closely supervised by Drs. Willis and Wright. A. GOULD P. HICKMAN ARTHUR B. GOULD, B.S., M.S., Ph.D. Chemistry WILLIAM A.
