The aim of the chemistry department, in addition to furthering the ends of general education, is to meet the needs of those students who tn desire chemistry to supplement work in other fields or t3 intend to use chemistry as a basis for future work. The department consists of Professor Louise Kelley, Ph.D., Chairman, Professors Howard Lloyd, Ph.D., and Belle Otto, Ph.D., Associate Professor Marguerite Schmidt, Sc.D., Assistant Professor Mary Wagley, D.Phil., and Technician Grafton Moore, A.B. Mathematics courses train the student in clear, logical, and accurate thinking and attempt to give her some understanding of the nature of mathe- depurtment of physics and mathematics Seated, left to right: Dr. Dieke, Mr. Rigler, Dr. Lodge, Dr. Torrey, Dr. Barton.

WW the natural sciences e departments of biology, physiology and bacteriology Sealed, left to right: Dr. Crittenden, Dr. Langdon, Dr. Crouse, Miss Pratt, Dr. Funk, Dr. Webb. Not present: Dr. Moment. The natural sciences offer the student opportun- ities for progress in several of the eight objectives. An understanding of the scientific basis of health is essential to the establishment and maintenance of physical and mental health. Scientific study also contributes to the student,s comprehension and com- munication of ideas and to her understanding of the scientific method in theory and application. The programs of the biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and physiology and bacteriology depart- ments are designed to afford maximum achievement toward these objectives. Laboratory experimenta- tion by individual students illustrates both the theory and the application of lectures, while class demonstrations often provide intriguing supple- ments to lecture material. 16 The courses in the biology department contribute to the student,s general education by providing a comprehensive view of biological science and its importance in human affairs. By observation in field and in laboratory, each student may achieve a knowledge of modern biological thought as well as a mastery of the practical aspects of the science. Chairman of the department Gairdner B. Moment, Ph.D., is assisted by Professor Mary Langdon, Ph.D., and Associate Professor Helen Crouse, Ph.D. Percy Huxley served as lecturer during third term. The physiology and bacteriology department strives to acquaint the student with the methods, fundamental principles, and philosophy of the physiological and bacteriological sciences. Profes- sor Phoebe J. Crittenden, Ph.D., is Chairman of the department, which also includes Assoicate Pro- fessor Helen Funk, Ph.D., Assistant Professor Marguerite Webb, Ph.D., Instructor Judith Pratt, M.S., and Assistant Joanne Coyle, A.B.

The social sciences combined to help the student in the attainment of three of the eight objectives. To understand the heritage of the past in its rela- tion to the present, to establish satisfying relations with individuals and with groups, and to utilize resources With economic and aesthetic satisfaction are the bases of the political science, psychology, economics, sociology and anthropology, and educa- tion and child development departments. The pro- fessors use lectures, field trips, panel discussions, and practical experiences to acquaint students with the information. In addition to academic duties on the Coucher campus, many professors serve the gen- eral Baltimore community. They worked with their political parties during the elections, aided in social work developments, and gave lectures to various community groups. department of psychology Seated, left to right: Dr. Rose, Dr. Osler, Dr. Warheld. departments of economics, sociology and anthropology Seated, left to right: Dr. Nurge, Dr. Pancoast, Dr. Smith, Dr. Reuss. the social sciences The economics, sociology, and anthropology de- partment is organized to meet three objectives: tn the development of an understanding of the most important facts and principles involved in the eco- nomic and social phases of human behavior; at the enlargement of the power to approach scientifi- cally problems of personality, society, and culture; and GD the acquisition of an attitude which will be helpful in enabling the student to play her part well in a complex modern society.
