Teacher Education at Goshen was faced with the prob- ability of opening a graduate school in teaching or affiliating with a neighboring university. After studying teacher certification in Indiana, 36 committees of educators proposed new requirements to the Indiana State Board of Education. To receive perma- nent certification, future teachers beginning undergrad- uate or graduate work after September, 1963, would need 30 hours of general education courses, stronger majors and minors than most liberal arts students, and at least eight hours of graduate level work in each of their teaching fields. Such a program is planned to cover five years of study, leading to a Master of Arts degree. Again this year, psychology majors and other interested students studied people in relation to others and to their environment. Courses offered covered aspects of psychology from infancy to old age. Students were given opportunity to broaden their understanding at the Con- ference on Aging, held on the campus last fall. Kindergarteners in laboratory class provide material for education students' observations. Psychology in social relations is discussed in Dr. E. E. Miller's upper-level course. 27

Division IV-Bible and Philosophy-offered courses this year to students to fullfill the required four years of Bible and to gain deeper understandings of the Bible and of the Church. Surveys of the Old and New Testa- ments, introductions to philosophy and ethics, a history of Protestant Christianity, and studies of Biblical books were included in students' four-year plans of study. The Seminary provided a center of learning for full- time students as well as for congregation pastors. The seminary curriculum was revised and a student aid fund was created. Ties between the Seminary and local congregations were strengthened through practical work assignments of seminarians and through teams of seminary students and faculty who gave programs in area churches. Also, the lvlinisters' School, held for three weeks in February, gave congregation pastors an opportunity for study. The Seminary library received a grant of S9000 for books and magazines. To benefit from this grant, the seminary will have to raise 518,000 above the regular budget in the next three years. N5 'M 1 5 ., 3 1, qfi' , -' -- -Af.-1: .-1 1 I x- f . - . . 'y si Q..
