Mr. Crowell and Mr. Lewis F. Powell present lectures on Communism to senior classes. Students, Teachers — Democracy Student participation, civic leaders’ contributions, and teacher direction exemplify the democratic way of life in the social sciences. This department has a well balanced program emphasizing the old and the new. Knowledge of the development of the American Heritage and the history of the Old World builds an understanding of peoples and problems in the modern world. An appreciation of what has been, an aware- ness of what is, a dedication to the concept that a knowledge of the truth is essential to freedom ex- presses the objective and the method of the social sciences.
