Ancient Ideals: Knowled Q, And Truth The term plzifosojnhy originally came from two Greek words meaning love and wisdom, but every age has given it a different interpretation. MICE Philosophy Department presents the philosophic views of the past and the present. The general goal of the introduction to philosophy class is to acquaint the students with problems in the history of philosophical thought, and to inform them of the problems of knowledge, meta-physics, and some of the answers of- fered by such positions as realism, idealism, and pragma- tism. In the history of philosophy, students learn something of general philosophical traditions. Students in ethics ex- amine theories of moral value while logic students discover the principles of valid reasoning. Through readings, lectures, and class discussions, students become familiar with one of the key problems of knowl- edge-realizing the complex functions oflanguage, the role of words as symbols and their relation to and function in human experience. Then they examine Above, White on black: Concepts are classified by the ways of conceiving the structure and meaning of that ex- perience. Dewey's theory of quality is currently occupying most of Mr. Everett jay Hilty's out-of-class time for this is the subject of his masters thesis. Books, astronomy, camping, and music are his hobbies. Mr. Bruce A. jannusch cannot en- vision the possibility of having noth- ing to do for several weeks since he is working on his doctorate. His hob- bies include literature and sports. Mr. -Iannusch belongs to the American Philosophical Association and the Missouri Philosophical Association. 61? .4-- ' diagrams of Mr. jannusch.

ie ik Qin az When Dr. Kleta Finley came to MIC, she introduced experimentation into her general psychology classes. This venture proved successful and pro- vided the school with a psychology laboratory. Dr. Fin1ey's interest in her subject extends beyond school to the direction of teacher education pro- grams in 16 R.L.D.S. Churches. Traveling to Cairo and Greece is Miss Dorothy Moseleyis plan for the sum- mer. This Phi Beta Kappan hastaught at MIC 40 years. Her research on the instincts causing chickens to peck re- warded her with membership in Sigma Xi Mrs. Helen Weaver has taught at the University ofHawaii, Honolulu Chris- tian College, and Cincinnati College of Music. She enjoys reading and gar- dening, but her main concern is the future of her two sons. W Psychology: A Map Of Life Finding out why people behave as they do is the goal of students enrolled in the psychology classes. While the courses of in- struction do not directly teach students how to be both happy and human, they do give some insight into muddling through the maze of life more effectively. Diversity is a key word in the Psychology Department. Each instruc- tor prepares classroom lectures from personal experiences in the field. Given these choices the perceptive students have an infinite variety of alternatives in understanding their behavior. Psychology studies other people: what they do, and why. In this study a mirror is provided enabling students to better understand their behavior. Psychology helps students answer and ask many questions which they will be encountering throughout their lives. Through the study of case histories, these points are presented re- alistically, and in such a way that students will be prepared for cop- ing with life's problems. J 2 Wf ? 23
