The Department of Commerce and Business Administration has as its primary motive the training of teachers of the commercial subjects. Its second- ary motive is to prepare for the business world students desiring such training. In order to carry out the first objective the Department offers both a major and a minor. Those students who complete a major in this field are prepared to handle a full-time position in any first class high school. A major is offered both in Business Administration and in Secretarial Train- ing for those who want to enter the business world. Minors are also offered in these two fields. The department makes every effort to place its graduates. It cooperates with the Department of Education here at the College in placing those who wish to teach. The department also maintains a Placement Bureau for those who wish to find positions in the business world. X221

DEPARTMEN' OF PI-IYSICS AND CI-IEIVIISTRV M. WILSON EDMISTON Chemistry Chemistry, Education B.A., Olivet College B.A., Miami University, Oxford, Ohio M.S.,University of Chicago M.A., Ph.D., The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio J. W. HAKE Chairman of Faculty Council, Physics B.S., Central Wesleyan College B.A., University of Illinois I lVl.A., Northwestern University Ph.D., Kansas University The Physics Department and its curricula deals with practically every phase of the field known to the undergraduate school, from the simplest of lever-arm mechanics to the intricacies of the electron theory. The physics classes, all under Dr Hake are quite intriguing interesting and in some cases nearly mystifying especially to the outsider Laboratory work unusually fascinating and there is nothing unusual in hearing music from organ pipes or standard pitch forks or the crackling of high voltage sparks perhaps music from a radio or in seeing strange phenomena produced by Weird electrical apparatus at any time in the physics lab. In the organization of courses Dr Hake has made his department especially suited to the student preparing for later work in engineering not forgetting the student who majors in physics for the purpose of teaching. Particular stress is laid on subject matter dealing with the various divisions of electricity. A four-year und-ergraduate course in chemistry comprises the curriculum of the department of chemistry. Mr. M. W. Wilson is at the head and it has been through his guidance that the department has come to its present organi- zation. R W. Edmiston who also teaches education has charge of the Freshman courses. The chemistry laboratory at the West end of third floor has long been' famous for the nauseating odors of hydrogen sulfide and chlorine with which it some- times floods that end of the administration building. The casual visitor does not need a guide in order to find it. The familiar clinking of test tubes and the detestable but continual washing of dishes furnish a bit of atmosphere to the collegian which will be recollected in many years to come. was :':, 35 IFE-al I: 7639? fur .v 'fx Q1 I Ikrgvk -,Ml . , Q ' 1.7: .. ilu' t, W nf? 1 2' T f' .1 ,. ., 15 I My 1 Easy A , .f ' I 155 I .V w u .IJ ' I I I I 1 I I I E I 1 I I 1 I I I i I i I I I I I I I I I , I r , F' + bw! whim i 'iw
