These depart- N' ments have now grown to include Economics, Sociology and Political Science. The aim of this department is not only to explore the vast field of German literature ! and to reiterate the events of ages past but, in the light of their research to a h , , p ve t e way for solving the problems of today, thus providing the mental social and physical requisites for a well developed citizen and a servant of humanity. Each hour spent un der his instruction has added a new page to the memories of college days, while his in- fluence upon the students is inestimable. During Dr. Rullkoetter's leave of absence, necessitated by failing health, Miss Frankie White of the class of 1909, and Mr. Ros- coe Stewart of the class of 1908, have been his able assistants.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN FINKEL, A. M., PH. D. Professor of Mathematics and- Physics. 67,52 I- HE Department of Mathematics and Physics lays, as it should, great emphasis 'Eg' upon thoroughness. Whatever is undertaken is fully mastered before other work is taken up. lnaccuracy in statement is not for a moment tolerated. All E questions and problems are worked out in a clear, rigorous and logical man- ner. All new Work is connected with what has preceded in such a Way as to make the development of the subject logical and clear. The Department offers splendid preliminary training for the engineering student, in that the practical is correlated with the theoreticalg for the teacher, in that the thorough training given enables one to teach the work scientifically, for the person who seeks a broad cultural training, in that the course will familiarize him with the interpretation of mathematical and scientific language which one will see so frequently. Although splendid Work is offered in the department, extra teaching help and equip- ment will enable it to do a greater and greater work for the future. . A A STUDENT. T, all 'NST fe de fli Tlf Co

The aim of the chemistry department in offering these courses is to inspire in the student an enthusiasm for original research and at the same time to give him some understanding of the complexity and beauty of all nature in such a Way that he will gain some conception of the Infinite Mind which created all these countless wonders with such mathematical precision and uniformity. p A STUDENT.
