SOCIAL SCIENCE William L. Kaiser Henrietta H. Fernitz Harry J. Osterhart The bright lights of the Social Science Department ' s bulletin board attract many students, who pause between classes to catch up on the latest world news and glean bits of information about people in other lands . New seasons and holidays bring forth new decorations. During Pan- American week the board breaks fort h in a rash of Latin color, huge sombreros, and displays of South American products. In conjunction with this display the Social Science Department holds an annual Pan-American assembly featuring songs, dances, and literature typical of our Good Neighbors. Through field trips, movies, and discussion groups the Social Science Department strives to give the students a true picture of present day society.

SCIENCE Edward C. Colin Beals E. French Dorothy V. Phipps Ralph C. Goode James M. Sanders The Science department at Chicago Teachers College is concerned primarily with three funda- mental problems. First, equipping all students both as future teachers and citizens with those scientific conceptions that are necessary to carry on work in any field. Second, the training of individuals who wish to specialize in science as an area of study on the graduate level. Third, a presentation and discussion of modem methods of teaching science so that each graduate of Chicago Teachers College is prepared to teach science on the elementary school level.

Eilert When not acting as technical advisors to such psychological movies as the Web , Spellbound , and A Double Life , the Psychology Department, through its varied courses, attempts to orient the students, first, to college, and then to the world. The Mr. Anthony ' s of the college, the faculty members of the department like to dis- cuss the student ' s problems and help them to find the solutions. Two sides of the ques- tion are kept in view as the student learns of the social development of the child in a school situation.
