Besides training future musicians and inu- sic educators, the department provides opportunities for the student body at large to develop musical taste and ap- preciation. Music majors Find that a great deal of their liberal arts education is spent in theory, composition, history, conduct- ing, and survey of literature courses, in addition to private instrumental, vocal, and key board study. Students also have an opportunity to participate in concert choir, chapel choir, singers, band, and string :ind instrumental ensembles, Noteworthy this past year were the public performances of two compositions written by Dr. Atcherson, head of the music department. jzzbilatv Dro Omni.: Term, a setting of Psalm 100, was written for the concert choir and included on the concert program.

A new concept of theatre, studied this year for the first time, was the technical staging of a production. Under the technical direction of Mr. Albert Ronke, a new- comer to the Gustavus faculty, the students could partici- pate in the actual construction of the set. The quality of drama presented to the public remained at its very best. Associate Professor of Art, Department Head A tour through the north end of the Fine Arts Building gives one a Hrst-hand glimpse of the work being accom- plished by students in the art department. Aided by cap- able instructors, they learn to appreciate art and also to ex- press themselves. Here every student has a chance to put his imagination to work, his super-ego on paper without repercussion. PHILIP J. SWANSON, M.A. Instructor in Music, Band Director Yr--N WILLARD MISFELDT, M.F.A.

JACK L. CLARK, PH.D. Assistant Professor of Religion in in ROBERT ESBJORNSON, S.TM. Associate Professor of Religion, Department Head as 2 get sf ?gf?g:S'5fE 5 e3 Hi' f '-' ' in sn, Since man is incurably religious, it is important that he is made aware of not only the basic premises of his own be- lief, but those of other beliefs. The religion department at Gustavus not only recognizes this need but provides the student with a variety of courses from which to choose. Because of Gustavus' connection with the Lutheran Church in America, it is quite natural that there should exist an emphasis in that direction. But in as far as it is possible for a college such as Gustavus to encourage objective treat- ment of its basic beliefs, the religion department does so. Kierkegaard once said that he who strove with the world became great by overcoming it, and he who strove with himself became great by overcoming himself, but he who strove with God became greater than allf, The re- ligion department gives opportunity for the student to dis- cover the truth of that statement.
