During the class periods both politi- cal and social issues are discussed, and the basic causes of present-day problems are considered in the light of past h ' Stcry.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Indiana offers a program of athletics and physical educa- tion which attempts to combine the maximum of athletic recreation with a minimum of formality. In addition to athletics, the department requires students to take a year of hygiene and a year of first aid in order that they may deal with health difficulties in an intelligent, responsible way. The increased number of men students has brought back active participation in intercollegiate sports. Supplementing this is a voluntary intramural program in which many students partici- pate. Mr. Robert Timmons has returned to the Physical Education staff after completing his duties in the Navy. The head of this department is Mr. George Miller. SCIENCE In our post-war world science has taken on a new impor- tance. In the more advanced courses, students discussed the theory behind the atom bomb and the possibilities for its use in industry. The Science Department reaches practically every student in the school through its fundamental courses, such as botany, zoology, and physical science. In addition to this, cadet nurses were given a thorough training during the first semester. Many improvements in the laboratory equipment increased the opportunities for practical research Dr. Thomas Smyth is the head of this department.
