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.

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.
