Department of English and Modern Languages This department will be much better enabled to peform Us work beginning with the Summer quarter of 1923. At that time a new member of the faculty will be added to the staff, so that there will be three who give their entire time to the work of the department, and this tvlll mean of course, increased efficiency and effectiveness, as well as increased volume of the courses offered. It is now planned to offer regularly two years of work in both French and Spanish, with a third added as soon as there is sufficient demand for it. All the required courses in English will continue as before and other elective courses will be added and will be designed to meet the needs of college students who may wish to elect courses in third and fourth year college Eng¬ lish. In the work in Expression and Dramatics as well as In the Language and Literature the staff wishes to be help¬ ful and inspirational, to help guide its students not only to¬ ward correctness of form, but also towards the finer culture to be found in the great dramas, poems, and other liter¬ ature of the present as well as the past.

Department of History History is the narration of the success or failure of human lives and human actions. The deeds of the pioneer are alive today and the ideals and aspirations of the men, women and children who laid the foundations of this state are now being realized. But it took courage and a great vision to come here when the state was struggling for people and longing for just a few to settle on its broad expanse of land. The black lonesomeness of the solitary shack was too much for many of them who came and they returned to the land of well used trails. But gradually those who stayed were cheered by others who came and the sod and forests were subdued, towns sprang up, railroads were built, luxuries became necessi¬ ties, government by the majority became a fact and we grew into a state. Those men and women who established our good laws, built our roads, founded our schools and churches are still shaking hands with us who are carrying on the affairs within the state. We cannot be pioneers as they were pion¬ eers but we can branch out into new lines of activity and new’ branches of study and in so doing we may feel the great Joy of conquering untrodden trails. If we as young people do not do this and if we let the spirit of the pioneer die then we will as a state die. The great problems of our state, the questions beyond our borders reaching even to far off Asia require a vision even greater than that of our early state build¬ ers and we must justly and bravely wrestle with the task as true sons and daught¬ ers of pioneers. Then as students let us strike out upon new trails of thought and we will then live worthily of those who pointed out the way for us to travel. H. C. FISH. Page 12

Department of Physical Sciences The Department of Chemistry and Physics is rapidly assuming a place of prime importance in the curriculum of this school. Three years ago there was no de¬ partment of Physical Sciences. Next year it is expected that it will widen its scope to Include practically all the major branches. Laboratory courses will be of¬ fered in one year each of Elementeary Chemistry and Physics; Advanced Inor¬ ganic Chemistry; Qualitative Analysis- Organic Quantitative Analysis; Household Chemistry; Advanced Physics and Electri¬ city. Lecture courses will be offered in History of Chemistry. Popular Physics and Industrial Chemistry. Another teacher w he ,2fS “? T r .l up : to - dB,e oratories and apparatus w il be installed for both sciences. It is the aim to make this program extensive enough to provide working facilities for all students who want to major in these subjects with the aim of utilizing them as a teaching field Students expecting to take degrees at universities may take some of their required scientific work here.
