DR. MARY E. ANDREWS, Professor of Religion DR. JANE F. COODLOE, Professor of German I I Religion The Religion Department, under the direction of Dr. Mary E. Andrews, endeavors to give the student insight into her own religious back- ground and make her aware of the part religion plays in her life and in that of past civilizations. Through the college assemblies, Chapels, and the outside speakers presented there, the student comes into contact with varied churchmen of Baltimore. These and other numerous talks by the faculty, such as Dr. Gertrude Bussey,s on iiAuthority in Religion, clearly show the interre- lationship and overlapping of these branches of study. Thus, these departments work in close association, bringing to the student a rounded, integrated college program which will aid her in her future life. German Under the direction of Dr. Jane Goodloe, the Department of German otters to the student a study of the German language and its develop- ment. Many courses are closely related to the Department of English so as to give the student a wider knowledge and appreciation of literary values. The German Departments presentation of Scientilic German brings the course into Close association with the Science Departments and seientiEe interests of the present day. Classics To understand malfs heritage of the past and his relation to the world about him, a study of the classics is very valuable. Though the Latin and Greek languages are in themselves a high point in our background, they also serve as step-v ping stones to modern languages. From supple- mentary material supplied by the German, Reli- gion, Art, and Philosophy Departments, the Classics Department, under the leadership of Dr. Braunlich, thus broadens its scope and helps the student toward a better understanding of modern European culture. DR. ALICE F. BRAUNLICII, Professor of Classics
