PHILIP F. PALMER B.A , MA. Government Associate Professor of Government The Division of Citizenship seeks to develop among all students of Oglethorpe an awareness in breadth and in depth of the political, social, cultural, and eco- nomic forces that have shaped the past and the present and will influence the future. To this end, the depart- ment pivots around a common core program which ex- tends over a four year period. This program concen- trates on providing students with a broad background in the specific areas of world history, principles and practices of economics and government, and culminates with a course in international relations that integrates the three fields already mentioned into a meaningful synthesis. The department feels that it is only through an intelligent awareness of these factors that a person can fully understand the manner in which modern-day America relates to the world community and thus un- derstand the privileges and responsibilities of citizens not only of the United States but of the world community.

Humanics The Division of Community Service offers a broad curriculum to those who are planning to spend their future working with people. This program is aimed at enhancing the depth, breadth, and precision of our knowledge about human conduct. Through an extensive survey of the Lynwood section of DeKalb County directed by Dr. Richard M. Reser, head of the division, during the year, many prob- lems were explored and discussed and solutions were suggested to the county officials. Through projects such as this, through student teaching, through an active intercollegiate sports schedule, and through the training of public servants in the humanities, the division of com- munity ser ' ice promotes Oglethorpe ' s future — not only as an institution of higher learning, but as a public servant to the surrounding com- munity. 24 MRS.
