Seated: Ruth Dyrud. Standing: Howard K. Morse, Henry G. Geilen, Arturo Fallico. - Tf The purpose of CTC ' s colorful Art Department is well-defined in the following statement by Mr. Geilen, director of the department. Art is an activity of mankind that is in response to a fundamental and natural demand of human nature. Therefore, it becomes a necessary re- quirement in any well-balanced educational program. Because of the efforts of the early Presidents of the Chicago Teachers College, the Art Department has a well-established func- tion in the training program of the College. All students are required to take four semester hours, in which the aim is to further the stu- dents ' active and effective participation in art, both from the standpoint of personal accom- phshments, and the ability to teach this subject successfully in the elementary schools of Chi- cago. The department also offers a minor se- quence for those wishing to specialize.

ome J4o C conomicS CTC has the distinction of being one of the first colleges in the country to require all students to take courses in nutrition and family life. Through these courses the Home Economics Department contributes to effective home living. Additional specialized training is given to students taking a minor in Home Mechanics. Acquiring skills is but one phase of this work. Acquiring an under- standing of consumer buying problems, health practices, family social activities, and care of food, clothing, and furnishings is emphasized in the sequence. One of our popular teachers. Miss O ' Sullivan, left CTC to become director of the Richards Trade School for Girls. Substituting in her place is Mrs. O ' Hagan. Mary E. Freeman, Gertrude O ' Hagan, Edwina Grieser.
