Pte .... :aft Wkifdtl? Philosophy and Theology 11, 5 Father Sullivan believes that visual aids help in understanding philosophy. To quote Rev. James B. Sul- livan, ulphilosophy is an attempt to answer man's fundamental ques- tions about reality, to answerthe last 'whysifi This is exactly what the Mary Manse student endeav- ors to do as she pursues courses in logic, metaphysics, philosophy of the family, and contemporary philosophy. This last course espe- cially has attracted many students with its concentration on Marx- ism, phenomenology, logical posi- tivism, and existentialisrn. Theology is a .necessary and integral part in the life of every Mary Manse student. Because Mary Manse is a Catholic college, it is important that each student be given the opportunity to study her religion: its past, present, and future. Sister Mary Claire correlates recent ecclesiastical his- tory with Biblical history. Theology is meant to be lived as well as studied.

Histor One of the largest departments on campus is the History Department which provides courses on the liberal arts cur- riculum and a program of upper divi- sion courses for majors and minors. An innovation in the department this year is the administration of the first History comprehensives to graduating seniors in the spring. Sociology An active part of the Mary lVlanse cur- riculum is the Department of Sociology. It offers a strictly academic major as well as a program for social casework under which students do supervised practice at either Toledo State Hospital or Catholic Charities. As a coordinating factor, a senior seminar is required for two semesters. Oral comprehensives are taken hy graduating students in the sec- ond semester. 1 1 1 B A 1 'W W ' w r as is it 5. r. Q
