H. BUHLER u C. DAY J. GROVES SOCIAL SCIENCES Striving to prepare the Wesleyan student for the im- mense task of adapting to the adult role is the duty of the staff which comprises the Department of Social Sci- ences. In fulfilling such a role the student must develop sociallv. academically, and spiritually. In order to do this he must gain an awareness and appreciation of the social structure. In addition to the role of instructor, the members of the staff sponsor and conduct the activities of various clubs and organizations. ROBERT CLAY BOWLES, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. History HERBERT J.

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.

BIBLE, RELIGION, AND PHILOSOPHY The purposes of this division are to provide for all students an introduction to a view of the world and of man that integrates the findings and methods of science and philosophy with the essentials of Christianity, and to provide more thorough study in appropriate areas of the Division for those students who are preparing themselves to be teachers, ministers, and directors of religious education. Dr. Jose A. Franquiz. professor of philosophy, is chairman of the division. Next year the Department of Religious Education will be incorporated into the Division. Rev. Sidney Davis as Chaplain, in addition to planning and presenting the weekly chapel services and conducting classes, is now the head of the Departments of Bible and Religious Education. The Department of Philosophy has plans to bring a lecturer of national or international fame to the campus this year. J. CUMMINGS S. DAVIS JOHN HUGH CUMMINGS, A.B., S.T.B., Th.D.
