ECONOMICS The Department of Business Administration supplies the student with an awareness of his economic environment, and has as its basis the student's need as an individual, business leader. It provides the integration of a broad general education, a high level of professional education, and the addi- tional culture contacts from a truly liberal education. The student in this field gains a broad knowledge of the field of business interest and relates the business fields, which enables him to apply this to a as a citizen, and as a future variety of related occupational situations. Modern man is an economic creature. He must be keenly aware of the economic nature of his surroundings and the ways by which it is changed. The courses in economics are designed to provide a student with a better understanding of the way in which economic factors affect men and nations and to prepare the student to be a more efficient producer and consumer of economic goods and services.

The activities, both academic and allied, of the English De- partment are vital to the campus. Under the leadership of members of the staff many activities are sponsored. Notable among these are the plays produced by the department and the Highland Masquers, the weekly newspaper, the Almanian, advised by the department, the Parnassians, the creative writ- ing group which edits the Pine River, and Lambda Iota Tau, na- tional literary scholarship society, advised by the department. Majors in the department complete an unusual course, which runs during their iunior and senior years, meeting daily. In this course, specialists in the department move in and out of the course as lecturers, discussion leaders, and resource ad- visors. Departmental coffees and teas are a part of this course, indeed, it is at one of these that the sudent often gets his most exciting insight into what literary art can mean in his life. The two year program is climaxed by a maior effort in scholarship or criticism by each student during his senior year. Through this program, the members of the English Depart- ment staff come to know all of the maiors in the department, and are able to feed each student's interests.

He learns to mar- shall evidence, to assess it, to use it. Even more important, he is ready, upon graduation, to move into professional work or to move into graduate school. And most important of all, he becomes familiar and conversant with the great moments in the life struggle of man's sensitive and creative soul as it evidences itself in literature, perhaps the finest of all records of man's achievement as a suffering, but perhaps heroic, being. The effect of this is immeasurable. I . y, f x J, 1 ff ,T 1-94-f-3 41 1 f
