Music Buckncllians looking back o ' cr the year ' s changes will recall the remarkable reno ation ot the old chemistry building which took place oyer the summer and brought the music department from its Former Sixth Street home to the center of campus. Now students hurrying up the hill hear strains of music emeroino from the underoround chambers, where music students are busily practicing their scales. Although the intermingled instrumental and ocal sounds may seem confused and off-key, indiyidual talent is easily recognizable during performances of the students at bi- monthly recitals. Harried Music 100 students fe ' erishly absorb classical themes in spacious listening rooms of the building. Mu Phi, national professional music sorority, carries on a varied program of musical actixities throughout the year.

B 2 fc 1 1 FACUL] V Left to Rig it— Mr. George L. Hersev, Mr. Blanchard S. Gummu, chairman. Mr. Bruce Mitchell, Artist-in Residence. Art Artistically inclined students will fore er have vivid recollections of the art garret where, paint brush in hand, thev spent many hours acquiring greater skill in their work of seeking to set dov ' n life as they saw it. The courses in the history of art bring knowledge and deeper appreciation to those without creative artistic talent. An unforgettable experience is ' isiting Mr. Bruce Mitchell, our artist-in-residence, whose works in water color are justly reknowned. His studio has always been open to interested students and townspeople during his semester of residence each vear. Mr. Mitchell is, also, responsible for the art exhibitions which are brought to the campus. Do vou reallv think sc 24

y ig 1 The hilosophv Club intent on Dr. Miller ' s talk. Philosophy During the time that thev are at Bucknell most liberal arts students become acquainted with the philosophy depart- ment, housed in the low white building hallway up the hill. In philosophy class they face the fundamental questions raised bv man since the beoinning of his existence and study the answers which ha e been proposed bv the world ' s deep thinkers. Philosophy searches for the ideals by which each culture exists; it seeks reality and infallible sources of knowledge. Truth, Beauty, the Good, and the Holy are studied as the integral core of man ' s ideolooies; thev are the basis for the aesthetic sense which raises man to the highest position in the scale of living organisms. For students interested in the field of philosophy, the Philosophy Club offers opportunity for extra study. Its pur- pose is to develop the various aspects and contributions of philosoph ' in the direction of student needs and interests. FACULTY-Left to Rig it-Mr. Irving I. Polonoff, Mr. . Preston Warren, chairman; Mr. F. David Martin. Aristotle is hard to take e niornniiz! 26
