f 1936 . SOCIAL SCIENCE GROUP WS the depression just another phase • - of the business cycle, or does it represent more basic changes in our economic life? What is the significance of the present trend toward central control in government? How may we account for the prevalence of crime and corruption in the United States? Have changes in family life affected individual development? In directing their attention toward such problems as these, the Social Sciences at Bucknell have two principal objectives; an understanding of historical precedents of present day trends,- and training in techniques of scientific analysis. In addition to general educa- tional objectives, Social Science work at Bucknell also has voca- tional value. Special programs of study are arranged for students who are interested in such fields as the following: the various busi- ness vocations, law, government service, teaching, secretarial work, and social work.

f ip36 . PHILOSOPHY A H THE ARTS GROUP self, the mind and its function, the pretdtion of his world in its totality a GEORGE B. LAWSON, Chairman Conference with Dr. Rainey ■ HE Philosophy and the Arts - - Group was formed for adminis- trative convenience more than from logical relation, yet there is a vital unity in the departments embraced, for they all describe the realm of values. No student is content to pursue specific or technical ends and not secure some understanding of the wider reaches of human culture and interest . . . the knowledge of the springs of human behavior, the inter- nd deepest meaning and his relation to it; the reality and ultimate values of the spiritual order and his rela- tion to the Infinite; the appreciation of beauty expressed in the arts and their significance for advancing culture. The more liberal the back- ground for specific knowledge and skill the greater the self-enrich- ment, social sympathy and use- fulness. —GEORGE B. LAWSON Harrlman, HIavaty, Stickney, LeMon, Lawson, Cook, Melrose, Gummo, Gies 29 ♦ i ■ ■ • -4 » • ♦ 4
