The depart- V ment has been fortunate in the variety of background possessed by its new appointees. This sem- ester, these teachers were assigned to the group ' s new venture, integrating the freshnnan community course with English. rt is no more required in senior college — most « Aw art methods courses are out — but the art de- partment survives very well in its own right — and by right of its freshman-sophomore clientele. Half the juniors elected Story of the Arts and visits to Gless- ner House, a dark, fortress-appearing habitat, and Robey The singularly creative work of members of longer standing, particularly of Mr. W. Wilbur Hatfield, needs no introduction. Mr. Hatfield was responsible for devel- oping the English aspects of the creative education cur- riculum and the senior college course in semantics. House, with horizontal lines too radical even for this age. Heretofore inarticulate audiences vote Mr. Geilen more inarticulate audiences so that he can go on talking. Keen, keen lectures! A reshuffling of the cards renewed the vitality of this department too — students and teachers with eyes actually gleaming ponder the uncertainties of artistic quality. With additions to the staff came a small, refresh- ing stream of new methods and attitudes. Henry Geilen, M.A. Arturo Fallico, M.A. H: oward Morse, .B. Elmer Morrow, B.A. Alice Williams, M.A.

PRflCTice TencHinG ' ' T r. DeBoer practically m t speaks Latin (an adul- teration, perhaps, of Botany B), and knows Hebrew so well they fortified him with a new staff, like Moses, and set him forth to quicken rocks. It was difficult, but he had an ex- cellent new staff, and soon from the heads of practice students flowed progressive, democratic techniques. No longer will prac- tice sessions consist virtually of a priori musings or unchecked autopsies. The afternoon sem- inars, held bi-weekly, are scien- tific matters, affording continu- ous aid during the period fledg- ling teachers are trying their wings. John DeBoer. Ph.D. Raymond Cook. A.M.

' T ext the science depart- J J menti We have al- - ready kept watch upon the comings in and goings out of that fellow with the com- fortable air and the Caesarian flavor in his Latin, one hour a day for a semester, and he kept disastrous account of ours. He ' s not doing badly now — four notable additions to his person- nel, equipment well augmented, chosen to develop in general science one of the two aca- demic majors offered students who enrolled under the three year plan. That local flora course is mighty good for the students — like spring tonic and winter underwear.

M.A. Ralph Mansfield, Ph.D. The kindergarten-primary curriculum may lay its stability under the New Deal to the progressive- ness of the chairman, Miss Olson, and her com- mittee, Miss Willy and Mrs. Garo. Though practically imprisoned in room 203 from en- trance to graduation, students finding there their genius tutelaries are imbued with a felt need (so much tangible evidence is required). music THE music department has won, this year, greater popularity among students; perhaps such changes and additions as the special voice and harmony classes have added the attraction. The sophomore course. History of Music which is directed by Miss Peickert, has been particularly enjoyable for its lectures and coherence. mRTHemflTics y4 ssuming greater importance with the decreased proportion of methods courses offered through- out every department in the College, the mathematics faculty has initiated courses in analysis, statistics, and analytical geometry. Mr. Ralph Mansfield, appointed in February, is a specialist in the mathematics of astronomy and statistics. Mr. Hinkle has charge of the extension courses offered teachers whose certificates have lapsed. P S V C H L G V The psychology department has been, until now, combined with the education department. Dr. Thelma Thurstone, specialist In edu- cational tests and measurements. Is a new member of the faculty as well as of this particular section. Opposition of backgrounds seems to be general: Adier, physiology, yardstick, and ed- ucation vie here. Edvln Brye, A.M. Sol Ellert, Ph
