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. .

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. Music students are eligible for membership in their sophomore year, if they haye met with the requirements of theory study, good grades, and musicianship. MU PHI EPSILON-First Hoir, Left to Right-].

The acti ities on campus such as Christian Association, ReUgion-In-Life- Week, and the general program of the uni ersity show the strong Christian behefs from which Bucknell gains its strength and character. For those interested in reHgious vocations. Kappa Chi Lambda ser ' es not only as a manifestation of scholastic achievement, but as an opportunity to meet with others with similar aspirations, and to give service in the love of fellowman. Our religion department can thus be seen to be more than merelv another segment of the academic cur- riculum. It is an integral part of the uni ' ersity ' s organization, from whence come the policies that go ' ern our actions and dex ' elop our character. FACULTY-Le t fo Right-Mr. Chades M.
