The Department of Physical Education strives to help every student find joy, satisfaction, and a sense of exuberant living in the activity in which she participates. It is hoped that the student will hnd a specific activity so enjoyable that she will want to increase her range of experience in the recreational field, will take part in voluntary activities, and will continue participation in sports or rhythmic work after graduation. Modern dance, one of the new art forms, is gradually becoming an important link between art and physical education. J l idoiopll if Among liberal arts studies, philosophy, along with history, serves pre-eminently as an integrating discipline. At the junior college level the introductory study of philosophy can give the student a sense of the inter-relationships of the various fields of investigation and knowledge, and open important interpretive vistas of thought to her. The work in philosophy and ethics is designed to acquaint her with the problems which thoughtful questioning of our world and of human life has raised and continues to raise, and to help her form standards of criticism and judgment which will guide in forming her own working philosophy of life. Psychology, as it is taught at Monticello, helps one to understand oneself and other people. The students learn about people's reactions to various situations so that they can better control their own lives. The interest of the course lies in the personal and the practical side of psychology. Lyman V'. Cady, Chairman B.A., Grinned!
