if DEPARTMENT CF PHYSICAL SCIENCE The division of Physics, under Dr. Hake, offers the student an oppor- tunity to gain practical scientific knowledge. The student who majors in this division not only learns his subject matter, but learns methods of teaching physics which will aid him in his work. The pre-engineering student will find that the department offers him excellent preparatory courses. Mr. M. W. Wilson of the Division of Chemistry has planned his courses so as to serve not only those who wish to major or minor in chemistry, but those also who need courses in this division to supplement work in Home Economics or as requirements for pre-medical work. The division offers a four-year undergraduate course in chemistry. The field of geography in the Physical Science Department offers work which reveals some of Natures work in general geology and climatology. The courses are fundamental to work in economic human geography. The geography problems are planned to give the student wider visions of life and aid him to interpret responses to life's environment.

ANTHONY It is the aim of this department to train students in the ideals and practices of health and character habits, to prepare them for teaching physical education, and to provide all students, while in college, with healthful recreation which will develop mental and physical efficiency. The Physical Education Department is divided into four sections: QU Corrective exercises and instruction, Q25 physical exercises, QSQ physical edu- cation instruction, and Q45 athletics. This is Coach Davis's ninth year on the coaching staff and Coach Stalcup's second. Both of these men have made remarkable records in their respective fields this year. The outstanding event for the women's division of the department comes with the annual May Festival. l26J 1

'k DEPARTMENT OE SCDCIAL SCIENCE I E., DR. H. G. DILDINE DR. HENRY A. FOSTER T. H. COOK HUBERT GARRETT DR. O. MYKING MEHUS We seek primarily to prepare young men and women to become citizen- trainers in citizenship. The implication is that in this preparation the teacher- in-the-making is himself always primarily and essentially in the process of becoming a high-class citizen. Our conception of such a teacher is that he pursues the solution of social problems with thorough scientific attack, with increasingly keen mental acumen, and with the determination that his expanding knowledge and pene- trating thought will constantly bring about behavior of increasingly dynamic and wholesome living. We hold that one can not effectively train the youth without first possessing and being, one's self, all that with which one would inspire others to the good life. The new integrated courses, especially in the humanities and the social sciences, make a notable contribution to the effectiveness of our department. This integrity of subject matter, designed to integrate student behavior, is carried out in our advanced courses. Our purpose is to take the emphasis from individual subjects and place it on life, character, and personality. i231 ir
