BIBLE It is fitting that a Christian college such as Agnes Scott should have such a fine Bible department. Courses are offered in the teachings of the Old and New Testaments, as well as those dealing with the religious beliefs ot the present day. Through these studies the student gains both a spiritual and an intellectual insight into the Hible. Mary Lily Boney Instructor Roberta Winter Assistant Professor SPEECH Everyone on campus has heard of Blackfriars, the dramatic club sponsored by our speech department; everyone has been thrilled by one of their fine performances. But this is only part of the department ' s work. Behind the stage pro- ductions lie those fundamental courses which teach the cor- rect use of voices and bodies for most effective speech. All those who enroll in a speech class become conscious of the importance of reading and speaking correctlv.

PHILOSOPHY - EDUCATION PSYCHOLOGY To help students understand the human mind in its physical and its more intangible aspects and to show them how to mold young minds through the process of education are the aims of the departments of philosophy, education, and psychology. Students have found in psy- chology many practical applications in learning and in social and business contacts. The education courses lead to a teaching certificate.
