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.

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

Sociology is probably the most important and most com- prehensive 0f the social sciences. As its very name signifies, it is an endeavor to lay bare the foundations of all living together and to elucidate the laws which lie at the basis of social intercourse. Only when real progress has been made in the manifestation of its laws, can we hope to attain a comprehension of life itself with its countless facts. The aim of this department at Augustana is to promote a Scieni title attitude preparatory to the active reception of infor- mation concerning the general structure of society and social processes, some main aspects of sociological theory, praCtical social problems, and some of the historical and cultural matters involved in sociology. Political science, as its name implies, is the study of the- ories, practices, and problems in the fields of municipal, state, and federal governments. It also includes a course in a comparative study of the essential governmental fea- MARY BRIGGS Moline, Illinois Sorinlngy Icnmm Eusillan Pr iIlI-ul :L 4:1Inluhloru 'u lenril 3. l. l'l'H rm 4-, V kyraw 3l 1 l ' ' .
