Realizing the desirability of having greater emphasis placed upon the human- istic side of the curriculum than is common in most technical colleges, the administration has given over an ample portion of the various courses of study to this branch. In addition to their regular teaching duties, the members of the department carried on numerous outside activities. The division sponsored a series of lectures by Gilles Cuilbert of the Salzberg Mozarteum on history and philosophy of music and evolution of technique and form. In addition to this, a weekly series of non-technical lectures entitled HOutlooks in Philos- ophyi' wasidelivered by a group of distinguished professors from local colleges. Such student activities as forensics and dramatics were supervised by members of the department. Humanities Professors-standing: Jones, Uutcreincr, Judy, Lzniugg scaled: llusc, Stanton, Soares, Kurtz, Macarthur, Eaglcson, Foggy Gilbert.
