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.

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.

PHVSICflL €DUCflTIOn yd last — a physical education t major; The development of a modern P. E. training curriculum was tully realized this term by the seven who sit in council in 106-A. The opportunity has attracted outstanding young women athletes and a number of muscular men who had vouchsafed the last of their en- ergies to securing such a course. New members of the council, ap- pointed off and on since September, are Miss Bernice Boye, Mrs. Kathar- ine Curtis, and Mr. George Boyle. Mrs. Curtis had trained the Wright Jr. College Water Ballet before her transfer, and is now teaching swim- ming here. Mr. Boyle is coaching several of the men ' s athletic teams, and diminutive Miss Boye drew mostly freshman gym. Home mecHflnics -w- y-ome mechanics curricula pro- j[ £ vide the foundation needed by students who will replace the manual training course, formerly in the elementary school, with prac- tical training in the common phases of industrial arts. This course was es- tablished in January, when Mr. Hew- itt was appointed to aid Mr. Henlce, and an entirely new laboratory was set up for students. An orange crate, the rock upon which the word of progressive edu- cation Is builded, was the inspiration of the semester ' s final product, a blue cretonne-draped vanity. Previ- ous efforts had resulted in rugs, cro- cheted; baskets, woven; and doll houses, designed for the go.od life. Home economics 4 Iss Teresa O ' Sullivan cheerfully undertook the a J ft fask of writing up the Home Economics course of study with the aid of Miss Free- man, chairman of this department. Miss O ' Sullivan has been cooperating In preparing students for participation in the school visiting program of the social studies com- munity course, by giving them a foundation in American nutrition. Miss Alexandrlna Moll guides the development of stitching and fashioning skills of the future Home Eco- nomics teachers.
