workings of a free society in changing world affairs Knowledge and understanding of national and world affairs is becom- ing more and more essential as inter- national problems become increasingly intense. Aiding students in this area were four new teachers who combined their talents to instill a consciousness of matters of prominent world signifi- cance.
