-r - 97z ? PIKES PEAK NUGGET N I N E T E E N HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT The Judson M. Bemis Department of Business Administration and Banking Phis Department has had a very active and successful year. All the classes have had an increase of students over last year — the classes in business of 20%, and similar increases in the economics and sociology classes. There were two new instructors in the Department: Miss Margaret B. Bennett and Mr. Glenn E. McLaughlin. Miss Bennett was temporarily appointed to fill the position of Professor Mautner, absent on leave. Mr. McLaugh- lin, an alumnus of the Colorado College, was appointed last spring. Both these new instructors made fine records for themselves in the course of the year ' s work. It is a custom of the Department of Business Admin- istration to take groups of its students to the neighboring cities of Denver and Pueblo to study first hand the activities of the large industrial and mercantile enter- prises there. This year ' s trip was under the direction of Mr. McLaughlin, who conducted the students thru the following Denver industrial houses: The Ford Plant, the Gates Rubber Company, the Denver Packing Com- pany, the Denver Rock Drill Company, and by special invitation, the plant of the Rocky Mountain News. Of the graduates in Business Administration several have established themselves as certified public account- ants and instructors in Accounting, while a number are making good in business. Still others are doing graduate work in Eastern Universities. Prof. Drucker . Drucker Bennett Abbott lie Laughlin

■ flQ PIT PEAK NUGGET - NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT Prof. Sisam Department of Mathematics pxTENSivR and intensive research work has figured largely in the life of the Mathematics Department this year. Assisted by Cecil B. Read of the Senior class, a study has been made of scientific methods of sectioning Freshman. It is believed that this will lead to more accurate division of classes. The individual members of the Department have also been conducting various projects along Mathematical lines. Professor Sisam, Head of the Department, and president of Delta Epsilon, honorary scientific fraternity is in co-operation with members of the departments at Cornell, Illinois, and Princeton, publishing a report on the facts now known about Rational Transformations. Professor Lovitt, in co-operation with Professor Holtzclaw, of the University of Kansas, published in October a textbook entitled Mathematics in Business. Professor Albright has done his work along still another line. In March, he presented to the faculty a series of curves showing the distribution of grades in various ways within the college. The Department has suffered the loss of Professor Wapple, who resigned to take a position, last fall, as head of the Department at Southwestern University. His place has been filled by Miss Catherine Hood. The Rocky Mountain Section of the American Math- ematical Association met at Colorado College, on April 22 and 23. Professor Lovitt is President of the Section. Top Row — Hood, Lovitt Second Row — Albright, Sisam, Parker. 22

In 1926-27 courses were offered in Biblical Intro- duction, Life of Christ, Biblical Literature, Greek Testa- ment, Principles of Jesus, Early Church History (to end of fourth century), and History of Religion. These courses are taught without sectarian bias, for their world content in religious and moral values. Department of History Y Tork in the History Department of the College has centered itself around an interest in research work and advanced study. Prof. Archer B. Hulbert has been absent from the college during the second semester, and has been in California completing his search for information needed for his map of the Santa Fe Trail. He hopes to finish that work during the summer. Professor Binklev has made some progress on his History of the Republic of Texas and will spend the summer in Texas in a further search for materials for the book.
