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.

-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

First, it is a place where students freely engage to pursue studies, rather than a place where tasks are set for them, a place of assignments, recitations, quizzes, marks, absence reports, and where diplomas are eventually given for a specified number of semester hours patiently endured. The liberal college is free, in the second place, in being a place of intellectual tolerance where minds grow into capacious- ness. It is the aim of the Department of Philosophy to contribute its share to the realization of these ends. Prof. Wjlm Dean Hershey Department of Education ■The courses in education in Colorado College are de- signed to provide a general introduction to the means and methods of education as represented by the public schools and other educational agencies, necessarv in- struction in terms of hours for the graduate certificate to teach in the public schools of Colorado, and fifteen hours in education courses to enable our graduates to teach in the high schools approved by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Three fields of study are offered: General and educational psychology, educational methods and princi- ples of teaching, and historical development, present organization and administration of educational insti- tutions. ) e J.
