ERICKSON, Assistant Professor of Christian Religion, B.S., University of Minnesota, B.D., Bethel Seminary, Doctoral Studies, University of Chicago. Students intending to enter Christian service, either vocationally or as lay persons, take courses in Christian Education. These courses include Christian Education history and philosophy, or- ganization and administration, curriculum con- struction, and Christian Education either of chil- dren or of youth and adults. Those majoring in Christian Education engage in senior field work in a local church under the guidance of a church leader and a faculty member. RICHARD BESANCON, Associate Professor of Philosophy, B.A., Wheaton College, M.A. Baylor University, B.D., Th.D., Northern Baptist Seminary, Grad- uate Studies, Northwestern University and Roosevelt University. - It is the aim of the philosophical disciplines to make the student aware of the need for critical and reflective thinking about the great issues of life. Effort is made to acquaint the student with the basic philosophical problems to the role they play in the vicissitudes of the contemporary world. The student is introduced to the major types of philosophical schools which seek to offer answers to these problems. It is emphasized that Christian thinkers should develop a Christian world-and- life view which encompasses life as a whole and is built upon the perspective that God has revealed Himself in Christ and the Biblical revelation.

Whether one speaks, writes or reads, his ac- tivity falls within the scope of the English Depart- ment. For this whole field is a great undergirding discipline, a training ground in speaking, writing, thinking. Here one can sharpen his knowledge of the language and his skills in using it. He can know the sense of achievement and growth in isolating ideas and clothing them in increasingly expres- sive words. Before the student stretches the vast field of literature from which he can draw inspirations, understanding and entertainment. As his ac- quaintance with these works increases, so his sen- sitivity to himself and his fellows will increase. He can laugh or cry, be drawn or repulsed, worship or condemn. But never can he be a smaller per- son for having opened his heart and his mind to the great ideas and creations of the ages. 4. , 'r X .Tfxfud ' 'S ' ,.is.' 2-3. , 'ig 'fl xv .73 nn QI 'M' . -f-4 . nf 4, s g X f Sis i?'-155' , 1,1 f f A 15 LELA SUSAN WRIGHT, Associate Professor of English, B.A., West Virginia University, M.R.E., Eastern Baptist Seminary, M.A., University of Tulsa.

X bien : l l QQNNR Music plays an important role in the life of the Church, and the music department of Judson pur- poses to provide for as many students as possible a background in music that will foster effective leadership in this field. The College Choir engages in singing a variety of good Church music including works by the masters. Courses in music theory, Choral con- ducting, and appreciation of music are offered. Private instruction in voice, piano, and organ serves to develop the musical skills of students, that through music there may be effective com- munication of the gospel. Opportunities for per- formance are realized in chapel services and re- citals. l S-1 EDWARD L.
