DEPARTMENT OF DRAMATICS Elba Hi nnin 3ER Mis Frances Calista ssor of Speech nd WILLARD Dramatic Art Ins ructor in Speech and Dramatic Art The Department of Speech and Dramatic Art came into prominence in 1925 when the college agreed to credit the courses of study offered on an A.B. degree. Today it is framed for the development of each student, whether it be to correct defects of speech, or to provide a con- fidence in public, or an outlet for dramatic ability. ENGLISH Reaching a large number of students the Department of English provides the Eng- lish requirement for every college student and gives ample opportunity for fur- ther study. It teaches the fundamentals of writing, and literary interpretation and ap- oreciation. Dr. J. Roddey Miller Head ot the English Di-partm, Miss MARY 1..

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS Miss Annie M. Pegram Professor of Mathematics Mathematics has always held a topmost place among the popular courses of study at Greensboro College. We find that in 189} it was required for both the Bachelor of Literature degree and the Bachelor of Science degree. Now those working for a Bachelor of Arts degree can choose between mathematics and science. Besides the elementary work several advanced courses are offered for majors and teachers. DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE ir. Paul M. Ginnings ad of Science Department. ofessor of Chemistry and Physics Dr. Coleen Fowler Assistant Professoi ol Biology Up until the first decade of the twentieth cen- tury the Science Department had been weak, due probably to the lack of equipment. At present it includes both the Department of Biology and the Department of Chemistry and Physics, giv- ing majors in each as well as supplying the A.B. science requirement. DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Miss Agnes Jeter Director of Physical Education In the early days pupils were daily exercised in calisthenics and aesthetic gymnastics. Today the department, though not offering a degree in physical education, is a vital factor in the main- tenance of health on the campus as well as a means for fun and fair play through good clean sports. Every boarding student takes physical education for three years. DEPARTMENT OF HOME ECONOMICS Miss Bernice Jeannette Miss Margaret D. White Stewart Professoi of Home Professor of Home Girls interested in becoming teachers in home economics or in learning the household arts find excellent opportunities in the courses in cloth- ing, textiles, foods and nutrition, home manage- ment, costume design, interior decoration, the family, child care, home nursing and teaching methods. 9-3

LIBRARY Mrs. Reuben R alley Miss Annette H. Shinn Librarian Assistant Librarian Greensboro College has always realized the necessity of a well chosen collection of books. With each year the number of books has in- creased and with each successive year the need for books has been greater, until today as the centennial is celebrated, the library is too small for the more than 18.000 volumes which it contains. Dr. Robert T. Dinm Head i l l hi ' Departmei i t Romance Languages MADELINE STINSON Assistant Professor 0 Romance Languages LANGUAGES A requirement of two years ' foreign language is set for both the A.B. and B.M. degrees: hence, the Depart- ment of Languages plays a vital part in the college cur- riculum. Students may choose either French. Spanish, or German, and may obtain majors and minors in each. Dr Conrad Lahser Professor of German INFIRMARY Miss Pearl White Turner Registered Nurse For minor aches and pains of students Greensboro College main- tains a house on Odell Place — just far enough from the campus to allow students to get quiet rest. On duty constantly is a regis- tered nurse, and the college physician is ready to come on call at any time. Even those who are not ill retire often to the infirmary for the restful sleep, special foods, and attention offered there. Page Twenty set 9-3
