LANGUAGES The departments of classical and modern languages offer a wide variety of courses designed to acquaint the stu- dent with the literature and life of peoples of other countries, both in times past and in times present. The members of these departments recognize the neces- sity of being familiar with the thought and customs in countries other than our own, if we would live wisely and well in a world which by virtue of scientific progress is ever decreasing in size. Classroom instruction in these depart- ments is supplemented by language clubs, which furnish an opportunity for more informal discussions on topics of interest; by record classes, which make for pro- ficiency in speaking languages, and by the instructive and delightful language tables in the dining room. ore potato chip won ' t hurt.

MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE The original Agony Four at the faculty HENRY A. ROBINSON Professor of Mathematics Because of the ever increasing de- pendence of modern civilization on the discoveries and accomplishments of sci- ence, the mathematics and science de- partments at Agnes Scott have taken on added importance and popularity. The students find mathematics an aid to logical and orderly reasoning and an excellent companion subject to the study of the sciences. The science departments offer courses in astronomy, biology, chemistry, and physics. In these courses one finds emphasis on exactness of study. The laboratory experiments are both in- teresting and informative. The campus is eagerly awaiting the completion of the new observatory and the arrival of the telescope which is to be placed at Agnes Scott. We are also looking forward to the erection of the new science hall which will mark the expansion of the science departments.
