Students examine slides and pictures to prepare for their art test in Civ. CIVILIZATION Pyramids, chivalry, French revolution-the past. Synthetics, atomic energy, Sputniks-the present. Sun energy for heat, man on the moon-the future. Past, present and future-all a part of the continu- ously growing Civilization course at Coker. Civ. is more than factual pages in a syllabus, it is an alive, ever-changing review of man in his world. Each year new facts are assimilated with the old and the syllabus keeps a present-day attitude. Dr. Elizabeth Davidson, head of the Civilization de- partment, is responsible for the development of and primary research on Civ. at Coker. Assisted by Mrs. Elizabeth Reynolds, Dr. A. A. Fahrner, and Mr. Ben- jamin Bray, the gates of knowledge are flung wide open--entrance down the path left to the student. Civ. is a complete survey of the people who have made up the world. Their influence on the present is seen as the philosophy and religion, natural science and mathematics, art, literature, and music of the past stand up for comparison and study. Lectures are delivered by professors who are special- ists in the various Helds covered. Class discussions an- alyze and coordinate ideas and explain points of con- fusion. The value of Civ. is apparent when political, social and philosophical events begin repeating themselves- the past expressed by a new people and a new age. CIVILIZATION-a look to the past and a predic- tion of the future. 72 ART Oh, I wish I could take art, but . . . I can't even draw a straight line. W7 e art majors, to our horror, usually get this comment when another learns that we take art. Really, the straight line is something that most art students don't claim to be able to do since we can use rulers too. We do, however, learn to be more adept in designing and painting after such courses as Basic Design, Wfater Color and Oil Painting. By the time she is a senior, an art student can tell you many things ranging from art history to how to print her own Christmas cards. However, these are just a few of the many things that an art major learns. Maybe you would like to make many posters in a hurry. Well, Graphic Arts would be just the class for you. Most art students take this course in their sopho- more year. Did you ever design your own ash trays? We do in the ceramics class along with making cups, costume jewelry and even planters. So you see art is even fun for art majors with such things to look for- ward to. We also take field trips out into the sun to paint from nature. Mr. R. Nickey Brumbaugh, professor of art, is always willing to give his students a helping hand but is also willing to let them experiment on their own until they get stuck and call for his aid. Climaxing the four year study of art is the one in a lifetime senior art exhibit . . . there will never be another like it. Mr. R. N. Brumbaugh gives a few pointers to his class in Basic Representation.
