The former is designed to give students systematic instruction in the proper use of libraries. The well-developed speech department aims at both service and self-impl-ovement in the Field of public speaking. The newest organization on the campus is the Augustana Speakers, Club which was created in response to a real need. The impossibility of faculty members to fulfill the requests to supply speakers for meetings of various societies and groups , affords the members of the club an opportunity to be of q? service. D t'i iii 0: :I' 2: uh RUNIC HONOR SOCIETY G i . In order to provide an incentive for and a recognition of J i - high scholarship the Runic Honor Society was founded at hl Augustana in 1933. Its membership is limited to eight g; ,' senior men and is chosen by the active members from those ..i juniors who have maintained a 2.0 average for their hrst h five semesters or a 2.2 average for the last two semesters !' of that period Other qualities such as character and leader- A i ship are also taken into consideration in making the selec- tions. This year Reynold Holman, Iverne Dowie, and oh i Thomas Sims are the only men from the senior class to uni . maintain the required average. u f L HOLMEN DDWIE SIMS

WILLEAM F. 0. BAEHR, B.S., A.Mt Librarian and meessur of Library Science IRA OLIVER NOTHSTEIN, A.B., A.M. 'r . 81;. a Assistant Librarian and Curator of t ' ' Museum 5' E's is essential. In addition, he should see in literature the development of thought and society. These are the courses in English which are required of all students because of their practical value and their neces- sity for a true understanding and appreciation of life on the level of an educated person. The more specialized English courses in the senior college offer more thorough study of great authors and outstanding periods and literary types. Chaucer, Milton, and Shake- speare are taken up in separate courses. The English Novel and Victorian Poetry are courses emphasizing types. Periods of literature are given intensified study in courses in the 18th century and the Romantic Movement in English lit- erature, and in American literature in the rise of realism and the period from 1890 to the present. A course in literv ary criticism is one of the requirements for the major in English. Qualified students are given an opportunity to continue writing in the flelds of their particular gifts and interests in a senior college writing coLu'se. A course in the teaching of English, for the prospective teacher of English in the high school, completes the comprehensive course of study in the senior college. ELTON B.

SOCIAL SCIENCES The social sciences may be defined as those mental or cul- tural sciences which deal with the activities of the indi- vidual as a member of a group. Since the common wants of mankind are exceedingly diversified, the group activities designed to satisfy these wants are correspondingly mani- fold. In the measure that the group activities have been subjected to study, the social sciences have multiplied. This fact is illustrated in the curriculum of Augustana College. which now includes eight of the social sciences. To the extent that historical data are collected systemh atically and expertly, and events are recounted with careful attention to their importance, mutual relations, causes and . consequences, history is a science. It has become an in- dispensable source of material for interpretation of all man, her of social processes. At Augustana scientific methods ONALD SMILEY Davenport, Imva History cron SiEmn Omicron.
