J. CUMMINGS S. DAVIS R. GRIESER BIBLE, RELIGION, PHILOSOPHY The division of Bible, Religion, and Philosophy is essentially concerned with giving a primary background in the said subjects to future teachers, ministers, and directors of religious education. It further presents an introduction of insight directed from the individua l to his environment. Courses under this division integrate the discoveries and procedures of science and philosophy in conjunction with the essentials of Christianity and vocational preparation. Under the chairmanship of Dr. Jose Franquiz, the division brought two nationally known philosophers. Dr. Charles Hartshorne. and Dr. I?omanell. to Wesleyan ' s campus. Due to the enthusiastic reception given to these speakers, the division is making plans to have similar speakers brought to the campus in the future. JOHN HUGH CUMMINGS, A.B., S.T.B., Th.D.

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.
