Brown Gymnasium The School of Physical Education The School of Physical Education was organized under the direction of Dr. Newton in 1922. The comprehensive development of the program since the organization of the department has placed us in an enviable position among the colleges of our country. Two distinct courses of professional study are offered to those who wish training for the physical directorate and athletic coaching. A two-year Normal course recognized by the State Department of Education is offered. Upon the completion of this course a diploma is granted and the State Department furnishes a special certificate to teach Physical Education in public schools and institutions. Graduates of this course are now filling responsible positions. During the last year a second course of professional training has been arranged. This course covers four years and in the arrangement and selection of subjects compares favorably with like courses in the best institutions in the land and upon its completion a degree of Bachelor of Science in Physical Education is conferred. A large Freshman class enrolled and the most optimistic outlook for the future of this course is justified. In addition to these courses the department has general supervision of athletics, both inter-collegiate and intra-mural, and of the physical educational program required of every student in the University. page nineteen

Campus, Looking South The School of Expression The School of Expression originated with the organization of an Elocution Department. Since 1887 Mrs. Mae Deming-McCoppin has been connected with the School of Expression with the exception of four years. In 1902 Major A. Cliffe Deming became associated with the department. He has served as assistant director since that time except for the three years in which he participated in the World War. In 1921 a Dramatic Club was organized which is known now as the Northern Players. In 1923 a National Dramatic Fraternity known as Theta Alpha Phi was organized in this department. It is designed to give special credit to those meeting with certain qualifications in dramatic work. These organizations are open to the entire student body. They have charge of the annual Commence¬ ment Play and stages productions throughout the college year. page twenty
