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.

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.

The Division of Social Sciences includes the De- partments of Economics, Education, History and Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. The two-year sequence in history alternates between American and European areas. At present, the Department of Psychology is proposing courses which will equip the student with more adequate tools for self-analysis and fruitful social contacts. The Department of Education is also undergoing expansion on behalf of those who plan to work in the secular and religious fields. The objectives of The Division of Social Sci- ences are best summarized in the statement that all education should aim at equipping well-pre- pared future citizens for making a worthwhile life as well as a good living. With all the other sections of the college, it strives for these goals within a spiritually implemented Christian orientation. JOHN E.
