Besides these, courses in History of Art. Architecture. Painting and Sculpture, are offered. The purpose of the entire department is to distinguish between mere drawing.and art, and to train the students in an appreciation of the aesthetic principles such as the beauties of Nature, masterpieces of art and good repro- ductions of these masterpieces. The pencil and brush afford to the wielder it new avenue of eX!'l1'+'SSiUT1.- and in this department the student is trained to wield them more accurately and effectively. Not only does he learn to express himself in this way. but by attempting to do so, even though he fails. he learns, merely through the attempt. how to appreciate the worlt of others. This department, especially the histories of the different forms of Art. is one that tends towards the development of culture in its strictest terms. --N. C. B.

'07 Laboratory Assistant For a number of years after the founding of the University. Chemistry. Physics and Geology constituted but one department. Professor Merritt was in charge of this department from 1896 to 1898, when Professor Smith was elected to the position. In 1900 he was succeeded by Professor Harkins and six months later Chemistry was separated from Physics and Geology and has stood as a separate department since that time. In the fall of 1905, Doctor Bacon and Doctor Holmes, in turn, had charge of the department, while Pro- ft-ssor Harkins was taking some advanced work at the University of Chicago. Of the different assistants in this department. the first, Mr, Guy Sheridan is now chemist in the Butte Reduction Worksg while the second, Mr. Page Bunker is the supervisor in charge of the Lewis and Clark forest reserve. The elementary course in Chemistry is required of all collegiate students: but it is in the advanced courses, where specialization can be accomplished, that the best work is done. in spite of the fact that a lack of facilities hinders this specialization to some extent. At present there are about three times as many students as there were at firstg as the number increases the specializa- tion will increase also. Here is offered to the student the opportunity of obtaining that fundamental scientific training so necessary to any work along this line. -N. C. B. 26

- HILQNQAPHY 35 Q K gfijji I -122 NVILLIANI F. BOOK. Ph.D.. Professor The department of Philosophy and Education together width that of His- tory and Economics, was organized about the year 1900. At first the President of the University, Doctor Craig, had charge of the work until a little later. when Professor Hamilton was elected as head of this department. XVhen in 1904 Professor Hamilton resigned to accept the presidency of the Montana Agricultural College at Bozeman, Doctor H, K. Wolf of Lincoln, Nebraska. was elected to fill the vacancy, assuming his duties in February, 1905. One year later he resigned to fill the chair of Psychology at the University of Nebraska, and Doctor Book of Clark University. succeeded him in February. 1906. In February of this present year, 19070 the Department of History and Economics was separated from that of Philosophy and Education, Doctor Rook remaining in charge of the latter. Regarding the aim of the work in this department. Doctor Book has saidg The purpose of all courses in Psychology and Philosophy is less to train specialists than to give to those who take them such a knowledge of the mind and its reactions upon the great economic, social and philosophic questions of the world. as belong to a well rounded education. In the work in Education something more is attempted in addition to the treatment of Education as the history of cultureg that is, aiming to fit certain of the students for the higher positions in the public schools. Back of it all stands the fundamental aim of all which may best be stated by quoting Doctor Book again: To fulfill its highest destiny. a university must not only inspire her sons and daughters with a love for the truth, but be of the greatest possible service to the state. This she will do if her students become not only lovers of the truth. but teachers and leaders among men. -N. C. B. 29
