g .,. V n rt Department Such varied and numerous uses of art have been developed that it now offers many vocational opportunities. Since it is used extensively for commercial means, art is no longer considered an impractical frill, and art education takes its place along with other vocational courses. Art courses today offer training in fashion design, figure drawing, inter- ior decoration, crafts, and commercial design, as well as painting. All types of art work, especially crafts, may become a pleasant and useful hobby. Art education is also an important factor in raising the general standards of taste, for it stimulates a desire for the finer and more beautiful things of life, and teaches the student to appreciate art and beauty wherever it is found, thus increasing his enjoyment of life.

oienoe Department One of the greatest values of the stucly of science is that it develops the stutlent's appreciation of his sur- roundings. lt also encourages his reasoning power anal makes him less likely to accept itleas not based on truth and facts. VVell-equipped laboratories aitl the stutlent in his quest of the facts of the four sciences taught at Classen. The four are biology, chemistry, geology antl physics. There are also show cases in the hall to show the students evidences of science that are about us. Kathryn Webb antl Billie Nlarie Askew try to figure out the puzzling intricacies so prominent in fractional clistillatiou. FIRST ROW-HOWARD BROVVN: B. S. and M. S. from O. U.g CARL S. WOODWARD: B.

With such rapid changes occurring con- stantly in foreign affairs, they have found that the best way to learn history is to listen to it being made. QNote the little M design in France.

Witliout history, one would have little understanding of the world to- day and no ability to interpret it for tomorrow. The purpose of teaching history is to put the experiences of the past before the student, so that when history repeats itself, he will not be taken by surprise. The lessons that we learn from history will be remembered, long after we have forgotten meaningless dates. Courses in the history department include American, Euro- pean, English and Latin-American history, economics, inter- national relations, .social problems and psychology.
