The various collections and equipment for carrying on this work are unusually complete and compare favorably with that of the very best American colleges.

To visualize, and to put more life and mean- ing into the peoples, places, and materials studied, several thousands of lantern slides, stereographs, selected pictures, and actual specimens are used as a part of the working equipment. 24

FACULTY INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPT. D. J. Crowley C. J. Biery G. Wills E. C. Powell HOME ECONOMICS DEPT. H. Henderson L. Heston The aims and philosophy of the Home Economics Department cannot be better expressed than in the terms of the-goals set up by Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, the Mother of the Home Economics Movement, when she said many years ago, Home Economics Stands For The ideal home life for today unhampered by the traditions of the past. The utilization of all the resources of modern science to improve the home life. The freedom of the home from the dominance of things and their due subordination to ideals. The simplicity in material surroundings which will most free the spirit for the more im- portant and permanent interests of the home and of society. 23 INDUSTRIAL ARTS The department of Industrial Arts Education oFfers a varied service. In its laboratories students are able to develop latent pos- sibilities through experimentation under ex- perienced supervision. These experiments may occur through the media of wood, metal, paper or stone, and may be recognized in a chair, an ignition unit, a scale drawing, a Finished casting, an automotive replacement, a serviced motor, or in the more general Fields of creative design, painting, sculpture, or architecture, sometimes called Fine Arts . ln such laboratories the Edison, the Stein- metz, the Ford, the Taft, or the Whisler of tomorrow are discovered and developed. Society would have suffered an irreparable loss without some such means of studying the practical values of design, construction, and materials as found in the Art of Industry. The Industrial Arts laboratory provides this opportunity. It opens up new avenues for study and suggests possibilities for added information and creative thinking. Production, manufacturing and distribution are here cor- related with History, Literature, Economics, Sociology, and kindred subjects. This department develops skillful workmen, and combines approved teaching methods with this skill to Facilitate imparting it to others. It provided training for those who wish to specialize in teaching the subjects of Industrial Arts for the Elementary teacher, For pre- engineering students, and for those who wish to elect subjects from the Field of industry for a broad, general education. We do not develop genius, but we recognize and en- courage it.

FACULTY Aerial View of the Campus. The collections of maps and various other desirable materials, for offering thoroughly up-to-date courses in geography are unusually extensive and complete. One of the many fine results of the practical courses in geography offered at Bowling Green is the very large number of geography students who become deeply interested in travel, and thus continue later the training and observations started in the classroom. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT The medical department is one of the greatest prides on this campus. This well- organized department is under the efficient guidance of Dr. Todd and her assistant, Miss Stevenson, nurse. Both of these very capable friends assist us in many ways. Scarcely a day asses without a large number of visitors carling-football players with wrenched ankles-baseball men with dis: located shoulders, members of the girls 25 hockey team with skinned knees and archery girls with bruised arms. But Dr. Todd and Miss Stevenson are never too busy to aid, even in the most minute detail. We are always welcome to come to tell of all our aches and pains and receive aid, consolation, or a smile and a pat on the back . But the medical department needs aid from other sources. Part of this is received under the expert uidance of Miss Shaw and Miss l-lartman, 0? the Physical Education division. lt is the duty of these two, to keep our girls full of vim, vigor, and vitality! A great deal of time is spent by the stu- dents in physical activities. The students have the privilege of obtaining more credit for services which they render such as the May-Day Celebration, which takes place about the sixteenth of May. Advanced teaching of some of the sports such as soccer, baseball, and archery is offered to those who wish to participate, and the beginners, who so desire, may be initiated into the mysteries of these games.
