TANNER Associate Professor Professor of Education of Education Education And Psychology The department of education and psychology serves a multi-purpose role in the overall program of the college. In addition to having primary responsibility for the training of elementary teachers, the profes- sional training of secondary teachers also is provided. It acts in a number of areas as a service agency to other parts of the college. Since a large majority of the Students earn degrees in education, this is the largest department of the college. Student teaching is regarded by many as the most important phase of the education curriculum. At work in classrooms here during the professional semester are Margaret Stephenson, James Akers, Bill Hester, and Myrna Zook.

| | Agriculture A two-year agriculture program is available both to students who plan to farm and to those who desire to continue study in a senior agriculture college. Some in the latter category continue at North- western three years. The college maintains a farming operation as laboratory facilities for many classes. Swine, beef, cattle, and sheep are raised on the farm, and prize livestock have earned a large collec- tion of ribbons. Student judging teams have competed successfully for many years in major contests. LEO S.

Melton makes the presentation. Geology And Geography Students in geology acquire background for instructing earth science or, if they are considering careers as geologists, can determine whether they have aptitude for that profession. Geography studies not only benefit potential teachers, but also help all students to observe and appreciate land forms, weather, climates, agriculture, soils, and human adaptation to these things. Familiarity with geography increases understanding of life in many of its aspects. RALPH F. STRETE Associate Professor of Geology and Geography 25

Library Science In addition to providing reading, reference, and research fa- cilities for the entire college, the library is the center of a depart- ment that trains professional workers for libraries in schools, in- dustries, government, and wherever else such services are maintained. This is a field that is growing in opportunity, significance, and appeal, and the Northwestern library science department equips stu- dents to enter it thoroughly prepared. MISS FRANCES DU VALL MISS EDITH GORMAN Associate Professor of Library Associate Professor Science and Librarian of Library Science and Reference Librarian Shirley Rose, assistant librarian, takes some material from the reserved-book section of the library.
