THE BULL DOG Department of Social Sciences All human activities have origin- ated in response to innate demands of man's nature. These activities express themselves through social forms which have been classified into social institutions. The study of the origin, development, T and ultimate end of these social institu- tions, constitutes one branch of the study of Sociology. The forces which move society, and the laws by which these social forces Work, offer another interesting field of investigation. Aside from social forces which are constructive, there are in society, anti- social forces which produce pathological conditions. The students of Sociology are encouraged to seek solutions for these conditions and to raise ideals toward which men may build. A broad knowledge of society and its history and possible future furnishes a Weapon of offense and defense invaluable to the modern citi- Zeng hence the importance of the study of Social Sciences.

THE BULL DOG Biology is the Science of Life. We A Why do we live? and How do we Sometimes the idea is received that Botany is merely to know flowers. This E the great numbers of plants which do not produce flowers. One can learn L much from plants which he can apply EDWIN E SMITH E to his own manner of living. Zoology presents as broad a field in the animal world as does Botany in the plant kingdom. One may consider production of life, development of life, and influences making for varied results in living forms. Such a study is entrancing.

Department of Art There is never an idle moment in this most interesting class, where Work is play and study a pleasure. To be sure, there are discouraging moments when cloud becomes sky and sky becomes cloud, when a Winding road refuses to Wind, a landscape changes color while the artist labors in vain to match the changing tint. Yes, it is Work, but what joy is found in the Working, and what a gloriously happy feeling When, through your efforts, things assume their proper relations! How one rejoices in some new dis- covery! Perhaps it is only a hue in a cloud, Which, when once noticed, is never to be forgotten, but used to weave another bright thread into the tapestry of life. LORA C.
