LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE S. LECKIE M. GLAUNER J. SCHNABEL M. THRASHER The division of Language and Literature had as its chairman this year Dr. Leonard Roberts. There are 14 full and part-time members, representing some increased strength in English and speech. The division as a whole again sponsored the Canadian Players Foundation which brought us Shakespeare ' s Twelfth Night, and Shaw ' s Arms and the Man. English was made more effective by offering English Review, a course for freshmen needing individual help. The Department of Language, at the end of this year, is also looking forward to an expansion, due to the growing interest in languages in the present shrinking world. In drama, a fine major production this year was Antigone, with some one-act plays scheduled for the second semester. In speech, the Forensic Club participated in debating events in the area, aiming at varsity com- petition next year. The whole division feels that it has been braced by many new challenges. 0.

SOCIAL SCIENCES The major objective of the division is to increase an understanding and appreciation of one ' s own socialization and growth. Along with this knowledge a student can develop good citizenship by being tolerant of other ideas and by learning about different cultures. In this way a student will be able to think objectively and to establish logical answers for the problems of society. A person who likes social sciences and who has special abilities in the field can develop and broaden his knowledge into a vocational scale. The social science department also has various clubs and organizations which provide activity for Wesleyan ' s campus. Teachers and students often come together for evenings of informative discussion and enlightening conversation. ROBERT C. BOWLES, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. History HERBERT J. BUHLER, B.A., B.D.
