Mathematics The Department of Mathematics and Astron- omy, which was previously quartered in the old Health Center building, has now been moved to more spacious quarters in Christmas-Saucon Hall. Like English, math is required of every student in varying degrees according to which course of study the student fo llows. The differentiation is made even before the freshman year begins between students in the various colleges. All Engineering students begin at once in Analytic Geometry and Calculus, which continues for two years. Students in the College of Business take courses designed for their future use in this field, while Arts students in the Biology, Geology, and Psychology Departments take a two- semester course in Mathematical Analysis. All Engineering students, following their two years of Analytic Geometry and Calculus, take courses in Applied Mathematics and in the Prin- ciples of Analysis. Beyond these courses, work taken depends on the individual and his particular facultv advisor. GEORGE E. RAYNOR Head of Departmt tit This structure stands as it appeared in the fall of 1957; it has since been torn down and the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy, which it once housed, has moved to more permanent quarters in Christmas-Saucon Hall. ; =C m

Standing: Thomas M. Haynes. Nicholas Rescher. Adolf Grunbaun. Philosophy The educational objectives of the Philosophy Department are three-fold. The first is that the staff strives to teach basic rules of modern scienti- fic approach, presenting them in such a manner that they become a part of the student ' s thought process. In the second instance the department strives to impart to the student an understanding of the major role played by the social, scientific, and moral philosophies found in a study of the his- torical development of civilization. The third and last objective is focused on the development of good citizenship. The student ' s at- tention is directed to the issues that complicate public and private life, emphasizing the methods of arriving at a clear and reasoned decision. The general purpose of the department, then, is to educate the student to form balanced opin- ions and judgments. The staff does not attempt to graduate majors from its program as philoso- phers, but rather as clear and logical thinkers. 30
