Social Science Department Homer F. Young Chairman, Department of Social Sciences B.A., Ohio University; M.A., Harvard University The social sciences deal with the relationship of man to his social and physical environment. This department is sub-divided into history, sociology, government, economics, and geography. The history courses are designed to make the student aware of the continuity and change in human affairs and more capable of planning for the future by use of knowledge of causes and results of past acts. Most of the juniors take modern European history, while those students especially interested in Latin America or in the culture of the United States take the respective history courses. Sociology consists of the study of human life in terms of social institutions. The study of crime and punishment, juvenile delinquency, marriage problems, and patterns of community living holds the student’s interest. The courses in government and economics provide the student with ir.foima-tion necessary to an intelligent citizen and voter. Geography includes geomorphology, weather and climate, and general geography, which is a cultural study of the potentialities of man's environment and his use of them. The Social Science Department also sponsors the International Relations Club. C.

Music Department Stephen Bennett Williams Mus.B., Chicago Musical College; M.A., University of Iowa Allan Sly Chairman, Department of Music Graduate in Music, University of Reading, England Musical activities and instruction at Monticcllo take several forms, according to the varying needs of students. For those who sing or play as an accomplishment, for those who attend concerts or collect records, for those who plan a career in which music plays a part, and for those who plan for further study of music at senior colleges or professional school, differing programs of study arc available. The Monticcllo Choir plays an essential part in the Sunday Vesper Services, gives two public concerts annually, and makes occasional out-of-town trips. Bi-monthly Serenade Concerts in the Caldwell Drawing Room serve to bring performers and listeners together in a congenial atmosphere, and student recitals focus attention on the earnest and sustained effort of many gifted students.
