Other civilizations have equalled or excelled us in many lines of same: endeavor hut, in coming to an understanding of life, of the real nature of ourselves and of the universe in which we live, we stand apart. Milton College aims to create and foster an interest in the study of the secrets of living things in order that this knowledge may add to the betterment of mankindre W'. N. Keck. CHEMISTRY Professor: William D. Burdick, Prof. Bill, M. A., University of Wisconsin. Students of chemistry may be grouped into three classes: those who will make chemistry their life work either as teachers or as commercial chemists; those who need training in certain heltls of chemistry as a pre-requisite to a study of medicine or dentistry; and those who desire a knowledge of the subject for its informational and cultural value alone. Although the courses presented by the department are designed necessarily to fit the needs of the first two groups, it is our aim to fulfil so far as is possible the expectations of the third group. For we believe that, in this age of scientific development, a knowledge of the principles of chemistry is ftlndaniental.-4V. D. Burdick. PHYSICS Professor: Carroll F. Oakley, Oakfl B.

In these days we wish to understand the men of the past. We lay aside our prepossessions and try to see what the Greeks, the Arabs, or the Franks really thought. lYe desire to know not only what they said and did, but how they felt and what motives caused them to act as they did. So, let us examine exactly what happened in the past and precisely how physical, economic, and intellectual forces operated. Let us, above all, in the lives of men be on the watch for the significant and the Vital, not the trivial and the superficial, ever recollecting the iliemorahle words of John Richard Green: hIf some of the conventional figures of military and political history occupy in my pages less than the space usually given them, it is because I have had to fmd a place for figures little heeded in common histolryethe figures of the missionary, the poet, the printer, the merchant, or the philosopherfL-J.
