llr. Arnesnll Ohio Wesleyan is fortunate that a correspondence course in American government in- spired Dr. Ben Arneson to en- ter the field. He was important in developing the present de- partment after coming to this school. A further tribute to his career is to be found in the Institute of Practical Poli- tics-now nationally famous. Nearly as well known to Wesleyanites as the Sulphur Spring are Professor Strachan's snap quizzes. This must have been a real one!

Dcpartlncllt of llistory 0 One of the many aims of the work of the History Department has been the general one of helping to make the student at home in his worldg in these stirring and uncertain times this is no easy job. To accomplish this task, the department claims the services of five men. Chairman of the Department is Dr. H. C. Hubbart, P . rofessor Eells Professor Van Sickle Assistant Professor Jennings Instructor Smith whose main fields are American history and diplomatic and con- stitutional courses. Dr. Van Sickle specializes in the ancient and medieval fields, while Dr. Eells takes care of the English and Modern European histories. Probably best known to the student body are David lennings and Richard Smith who teach the general course. Wesleyan can be justly proud of the work done by the History Department in enriching our lives with the knowledge of the past.

Department oi Political Science 0 Headed by Professor Ben Arneson, the Depart- ment of Political Science provides a valuable asset to the Wesleyan liberal arts education. The staff not only presents the comprehensive courses needed for pre-legal, political, and public service preparation, but also gives the student working off his University social science requirement a study of his government as it affects him. Regardless of the many approaches to the field of study, the aim of the department and its staff members is always one: to make a more conscientious citizen of the student through enlightening him as to the func- tioning and influence of government.
