Roger Bacon termed it the key and gate of the sciences. Bacon said sciences, because mathematics is not only vital to such fields as physics and chemistry, but it is also the key to language, social sciences, and the arts. The mathematics department gives to each BFHS graduate the key to a world made up of sciences. Music The spiritual harmony men call music is a convincing force in the self-expression of truth, goodness, and beauty. People of all ages need the silent, powerful, driving force which music can bring; therefore, to teach a child to love music will eventually influence him in all phases of his life.
