International Relations Coarse Joins Social taclies Syllabus A eornprehensive social studies eurrieulum was ol'l'ered, with international relations heading the list ol' new courses in the department. The wide, far reaehing courses varied from Bible to American history. World history, Ameriean history, and Bible history were baekground courses de- signed to show the definite relationship ol' the past, present, and future social struetures of soeiety. The students used Charts. maps. textbooks. and films in their aeademie pursuit. In order to help them eorrelate events ol' the past with current eyents, students made oral and written reports and partieipated as teams against eaeh other in quiz games. An integral part of the soeial science baekground was the study ol' psychology, physi- ology, and soeiology. Psychology elasses varied their study from the mind and thoughts ol' the genius to the insane. The inner and outer strueture of man was simplified in physi- ology to better understand the mechanical process ofthe human body. Sociology helped students to better understand their relationships with others. These three courses were the neeessities to round out a well plannededucation. By studying these eourses. students prepared themselves to beeome qualified eitizens and aid themselves in understanding the functions ol' the government.
