Both Philosophy and Religion concern themselves with the meaning of existence, but approach this problem through different sources; philosophy, through natural reason; religion, through reason en- lightened by faith. The main objective of this division is to impart to the student knowledge of funda- mental philosophical and religious concepts, truths, and principles in order that he may acquire an insight into the true meaning of existence. All courses in this division, therefore, aim at the perfection of each student's personality, both on the natural and supernatural plane, so that he may acquire that breadth of motivation which is so essential for him to live a truly meaningful and educated life. The courses included in this division are Philosophy, Psychology, and Religion. Rev. Edward £ . Franz, Ph.D. Chairman, Division of Philosophy and Religion Mehin Carney, MA. Rev. .
