Signs of the times are to be seen in a generation of college students more aware of the world and its headaches, Students have adopted a One World philosophy and swell the modern language department. Mr, Peyton is the new head of the Spanish depart. ment, assisted by Miss Anita Martin who replaced Miss Ogilbee, now teaching in Panama. Mr, Peyton introduced a course in the Spanish Baroque period for advance Spanish students.

Qfs. graphs, and sundry devices for finding out more about you than you know yourself, Mr. Hemp and Dr Sharp introduce students to the mysteries of psy- chology via an introductory experimental course which is usually offered only at larger universities. Beginning students continue to mull over mazes, cerebellums, and Babinslfi reflexes. Among the scientists, Dr. Bangham has carried Teaching teachers is the ffill of the edu cation department composed of Mr Bushnell left, and Mr Stoneburner. right Here they pass on a few pointers to future school m'arms for keeping young hopefuls in hand Included in all education curricula is rr semester of practice teachina as well as training in best educational rtictlsccls of toricry on his experiments with fruit flies while Dr. Ver Steeg, head of the geology department, brought recognition to the college with the publication by the Ohio Geological Survey of the bulletin, Water in Ohio on which he collaborated with Wilber Start and Dr. Lamb. The college anticipates the return of Dr. Spencer of the biology department, now on leave of absence at the University of Rochester. Inhabitants of Severance, Scovel, and Taylor Halls listened with interest and contributed their experience to the educational symposium in February led by Dr. Arthur Compton. He par- ticularly advocated a required general course in- cluding all the natural sciences. Open family discussions of this sort have been a feature of the new administrative policy. An extension of the testing facilities and program is in the offing, supplimenting the psychological and English tests given now to incoming freshmen to include required vocational interest and personality tests. An annual fund created for the benefit of the science and mathematics departments was pre- sented to the college to be known as the William H. Wilson Award. Departmental clubs, open to majors, with professorial leadership, supplimented work in the classroom and lab.

The diagram in the baclca Parmalee. ground illustrates the Permian conception of Occam's Razor. New courses were innovated toc in the religion department, headed by Dr. Hutchison. In Chris- tianity and Modern Social Problems, Christian ethics were observed in relation to the major political, economic, and social problems while would-be Pasteurs registered for Science and Religion. Dr. Perm carried the weight of the philosophy department alone, somehow finding enough time to work on the 1000 page en- cyclopedia of philosophy which he is editing. In addition to articles written by Dr. Perm himself, articles have been contributed by Dr. Coolidge, Dr. Ellsworth, and Miss Newnan. The election, racial relations, and labor vs. capital were only a few of the problems considered in the political science and sociology departments. Miss Sybil Gould is a new addition to the art department and the anatomy of drawing is a new addition to the list of art courses. Mr. Brensori, acting department head, travels regularly to New York to lecture on various phases of art. A Wooster alumnus, William Craig, returned to the campus as prof fessor of speech and brought with him plans for a radio speech course. In February, The Preacher's Voice , a study of public speaking particularly for ministers, appeared, written by Mr. Craig and the late Dr. R. B. Sokolowsky of Capitol University. In addition tc making students speak up in the proper pause and stress, the Speech Department, here represented by Mr. Craig, lett, and Dr. Lean, right, is also in charge of the direction and production of the Little Theatre plays An innovation this year has been the introduction of a radio course and one in speech correction. .fs- o 9 Q C9 -'x They guide VVcoster's woulfl lnrt music rnalcf-rs through four years of rlo, rf- mis, strtvrtta tc preserve concord and htrrtnori',', Sc-atr-fl, leIt to right, Miss Ilicltmond Mrs Ito'.'.'e and Mrs, Parmalee Standing Miss IIYIZVY Mr 'fbflztfn 'r H- 11-if 1 r c I C ftfrl,.
