Mathem atics It. is the aim of the courses in Mathematics to de- velop the students in the methods oflogical reasoning as exemplified in pure mathematics, to acquaint them with the various mathematical processes which serve as aids in the study, and to prepare them for the teaching profession. The computer terminal for the math department allows both major and non-major students an opporw tunity to work with programming and computation, and derive practical value through using it to demon- trate numerical relationships in a wide variety of si- tuations. Math Departmenfs computer terminal was well used by a variety of departments in the school. Geographyts distinct and unifying character- istic is its method of inquiry. This method seeks to derive meaning by organizing and re- lating data in a space relationship. The geo- . graphy courses are designed to cenvey this dis- .

Geography as a liberal art seeks to enrich the students experience and lend additional vitau lity to his major discipline whatever that major might be, since it deals with physical and so- cial conditions.

Swiss cheese does not necessarin mean that mathematical theory is full of holes. Far from being a diminishing aspect of the course, Test and Measurement. the small size of the class allows the students a detailed examination of tests used in educational, industrial, clinical. and research settings. 3' Psychology h A behavioristic, humanistic, view of man is offered I through the Psychology Department. A wide range of J courses and teaching techniques are integrated to I provide a sound base in which the student may ex- ' pand his own experiences. The classes are directed to be understood by the major and layman alike, which : proves to be a strong point of the department. The department supports not only research prou i jects from the students, but also provides ample op- portunity for field experiences in a studentts area of interest. Analysis is a significant part of any h experiment. i. Drffrwoud 7'5 e 25
