I.: Because the human sciences cover a broad area of man's relationships with his fellow men, every student is required to take foundation studies in history and sociology, more specifically in West- ern Civilization and Family and Community. Sociology maiors and future social workers specialized in how to deal with problems en- countered in rural and urban communities. Eco- nomics maiors considered the problems of bank- ing, corporations, and marketing. Relevant courses in recent American and European history, church history, and intellectual and cultural history were offered to history students. These history courses were supplemented by current affairs lectures and forums conducted by the faculty of the social science division. Professor J. Howard Kauffman returned from a year's leave spent in Germany studying German family life. Richard Camp ioined the history staff, as did J. C. Meyer, who replaced Professor Wil- lard Smith for the second semester. Professor Smith is continuing his study of William Jennings Bryan.
