At present there are about forty ' five members. Each member is vitally interested in his work and is doing his best con ' tmually to raise the standards of his department. During the past year frequent meet ' mgs of the faculty have been held and special committees have labored to revise and improve the curriculum. In order to keep abreast of the times a college must keep in constant contact with the latest advancements and movements in education. Park is doing just that. Research in the various departments has been done and statistics have been gathered which will aid in bringing about the construction of a curriculum which will offer the best in college instruction that can be obtained in any school the sice of Park. In the previous pages, due to lack of space, no mention was made of the Art Depart ' ment. It is by no means an insignificant part of the Park College program. Through the Carnegie corporation, there has been placed in the library a “Teaching Arts Cob lection, consisting of set of textiles, reproductions in photograph and color facsimiles of the greatest works of architecture, sculpture and painting, as well as original prints from the 16th century to the present. Also in the collection are more than 200 books of the art of every period and people. Mr. W. W. Rosenbaur and Mr. Austin Ketcham are instructors in art, offering courses in elementary drawing and design and in the history of art. Professor A. L. Wolfe offers a course in Greek Life and Art.
