GOVERNMENT CLASSES SEE politics in action as they sponsor mock state elections in early November. ACADEMICS Hendrix is ranked among best in South Today higher education has ceased to exist only for the intellectuals. It has become a necessity for most people to obtain a college education, and the increased enrollment at Hendrix bears out this fact. Hendrix College was founded on a sound liberal arts base designed to give students a general scope of knowledge which will prepare them to meet all phases of life effectively. With the higher enrollment this educational plan has been broadened and ex- panded to meet the needs of each student. In the words of Dr. Arthur Johnson, professor of zoology, the instructors at Hendrix are never satisfied with the educational programg they are continually striv- ing to find better ways to meet the increasing de- mandsf' The study of the humanities has long introduced students to the fine literary and philosophical works, provided them with a greater insight into the theorv and execution of art, music. and drama, and enabled them to become acquainted with foreign languages. In the humanities area the curriculum expansion has been quite marked. For the first time students can obtain a drama major instead of a speech-drama major. The philosophy department is now under the direction of two men, both of whom hold doctorates. Two new majors have also been added to the foreign language department. Students may now major in Spanish or German as well as in French. In the area HENDRIX'S ONLY DEPARTURE from liberal arts status is the direct training ot teachers for jobs in education.
