They begin the class with buenos dias, assign the translation of Wilhelm Tell, and proceed with the conjugation of porto, portas, portat. They find an idiomatic phrase, analyze the meter of “The Assyrian Came Down like a Wolf on the Fold,” explain the role of the chorus in Greek drama, and introduce the Bard. They dictate “la, la, la,” play the Brandenburg Concerti, and beat out syncopation. They discover rhythm in a sea shell, daub oils until a portrait emerges, and define “surrealism.” Yet the common aim of all these teachers is to enable students to produce and enjoy that which is beautiful. In doing this the students gain a love of the commonplace, an outlet for their own creative powers, and an understanding of human nature. “Then turn this button to rewind it.” E. G. Gehman as- sists Lydia Glick in the language laboratory.

Lehman, MA Assistant Professor of Instructor in Physical Instructor in Psychology Professor Emeritus of Education Education Education and Psychology EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY Teachers who teach others to teach have double responsibility, for they are not only teaching their own students, but generations of students. The definition of “readiness,” a book by Havinghurst, an analysis of a sociogram, the preparation of a lesson plan, the Journal of Educational Psychology, the scores from an aptitude test, and a case study on a handicapped child are important items in the department of education and psychology. It is through the knowledge of such things that the aim of education, the greatest pos- sible perfection of the human personality, is attained. Besides the intellectual growth and de- velopment of each student and the trans- mission of the cultural heritage, the Chris- tian teacher aims to infuse all subject mat- ter with Christianity, thus making himself | and his pupils images of Christ. Physical Education instructor, Eugene Hostetler, directs gymnastic exercises for freshman fellows.
