•§poketr Snglisb HIS deparlment was established to meet the ever-increasing ' demand for the cor- rect and most effective use of the English language through voice-control both in public speaking and in every day usag:e. Its chief aim is to improve habits of daily speech. It has been responsible for the presentation of three immense pageants which have meant the training ' and costuming of hundreds of people — the Shakespeare Festival, Paskkenodan, and the Fiftieth Anniversary Pageant, Victory through Conflict. Six thousand people were present at the latter. These pageants were given in P. C. W. ' s natural amphitheatre. Each year the depart- ment coaches the senior class-play, and all the dramatic entertainments. Story-tellingt in the home and kindergarten, literary interpretation, and argument and debate are other activities. VANDA E. KERST Head of Department Heidelberg University Pupil of S. H.

Vassar College Spoken English Certificate, Pennsylvania Collegfe for Women American Academy of Dramatic Art, Xew York City Erottnmirs att §nrtology GENERAL course in sociology has been required of all sophomores since 1921, while a course in economics is recommended for the junior year. In 1908 the first course in social service was offered because of an evident need for college- trained women to engage in social service activities. Since then the study of the subject has evolved continuously, the content of the courses has been en- larged and changed, and related studies in other departments of the college have been required. Since 1912 a certificate has been awarded to those stu- dents who complete these studies together with field work and thesis writing. Of the ninety students who have received this certificate about one-third are in professional social work, while others are in borderline ' ' social service occupations. LUELLA P.
