There never was time-when it was not cultivated in one form or another. At certain periods it has come very much to the front and commanded almost universal interest. At other times there were many who looked askance at philosophy. To them a philoso- pher was a sort of absent-minded person, something on the order of a poet, out of touch with everyday life and events. Today there is a changing attitude. People are beginning to realize that every man has a philosophy and that his philosophy has very much to do with his life. For this reason the Saint Marian studies the development of philosophy so that she may be better prepared to form a right concept of life and to gain greater understanding of the convictions of her cosmopolitan world. A well- balanced curriculum of philosophy c o ur s e s take the s t u d e nt from the study of nature and the powers of man to the positivism and exis- tentialism of c o n t e m p o r a r y philosophy.

The drama student not only views the great playwrights in their endeavor to capture an illusion of life, but also learns to skillfully coordinate her voice and body for effective communication of her own concepts.
