GGET e: e: m IRT Y -u Department of Philosophy and Psychology To plumb the inner depths of the unfathomed mental heritage of man, the sciences of philosophy and psychology have sprung up; and in the courses offered by this de- partment, under the instruction of Professors Wilm and Ellis, the student finds a wealth of new viewpoints, and a broader outlook upon the many problems which are as yet unsolved. One of these problems on which students in the de- partment are working is the study of mental growth, and it is hoped that within the next few years Colorado College can present a workable solution to the scientific world. Ill Prof. Wilm 3 . S Coburn Library Death has removed from our midst one of the most loved and oldest members of the entire faculty, Mr. Manly D. Ormes. A friend to all, students, faculty, and townspeople, he merited indeed the confidence and esteem accorded him. Better fitted for the position than any other living person, Miss Louise Kampf, Dr. Ormes ' assistant for the past few years, has been appointed Librarian and is discharging the duties of the office in the highly capable manner which has always characterized her work. The most recent gift to Coburn Library is an excellent private collection of books and music, bequeathed it by the late Leslie Skelton. Albert H. Daehler A. P. R. Drucker A. B., Illinois A.

CA 9%e PIKEX PEAK NUG MIMELTEIEM M NDRED T M I Department of Romance Languages Headed by Professor Charles T. Latimer, the De- partment of Romance Languages is becoming more and more popular with the students of Colorado College. Because of the variety of its courses, ranging from begin- ning classes to conversational and more advanced literary courses, the department draws an increasingly large number of majors each year. Many courses in French and Spanish are offered, besides several courses in Italian and German, giving the students of Colorado College ,, , . r 11 r Prof. Latimer the advantage of all tour. Since all of the instructors have been abroad, the courses are presented in a form and accent acquired only from study or travel in that respective country. Department of History In addition to its regular work of teaching, the De- partment of History has continued to show its interest in research work. Professor W. C. Binkley, the chair- man, intends to spend the summer in Texas, gathering material for his History of the Republic of Texas, much of which is already finished. Professor Archer B. Hulbert completes this year 2.5 years of college teaching, during which time he has written 36 books, edited 27 others, and contributed countless Prof. Binkley magazine articles. Assistant Professor J. C. Russell completed, before his resignation in January, two studies on thirteenth century literary activities. Instructor L. W. Fuller is doing work toward his doctor ' s degree. Paul E. Boucher Ph. D., Rice Institute Physics Elinor D. Breeze A. M., New York U. Classics Edith C. Bramhall Ph.

CJV Ike PIKEX PEAK NUGGET rsj i m e: rsi HUNDRED T M I (=5 T V U Department of Classical Languages Headed by Dr. Herbert Mierow, the M. C. Gile Memorial professor, the Department of Classical Languages occupies a pre-eminent position, for it was the ancient Greeks and Romans who laid the foundations of our modern culture. President C. C. Mierow maintains an active interest in this, his field. Each year at Commencement the members of the department ' s two social organizations, Eta Sigma Phi and the Classical Club, offer a Greek play in English, one of the most beautiful of Colorado College traditions. In addition to the purely translational courses, courses are offered in Roman private life, ancient history, and Greek drama in English. Prof. Mierow A Department of Business Another highly successful year for the Judson M. Bemis Department of Business Administration and Bank- ing draws to a close. Professor A. P. R. Drucker, who was away on leave of absence last year, again heads this department. R. P. Swan, who has entered the industrial field, has been replaced the second semester by W. F. Earle. Following its custom of presenting industry in action to the students by visits to industrial plants, several interesting trips were arranged this year. The courses in economics and sociology have like- wise been well received by many students who realize the advantages of a practical business education. Dean Drucker Robert S. Ellis Ph.
