ART ELSIE LEITCH BOWMAN HEAD OF DEPARTMENT The Art Department continues to grow and to increase in service. Its aim is to prepare thoroughly equipped directors of art and to bring to the elementary teacher a clear understanding and appreciation of the function and need for art in the public schools. It also provides training for those who are interested in special branches of the work. There has been a steady growth each year in numbers and in interest. Graduates are successfully teaching in surrounding towns of Kansas, of neighboring states, and in some of the larger cities of the East. Others, specializing in some particular Line of work, are now hold- ing positions in the commercial world. The College Art Club was organized .in 1921 and, with the co-opera- tion of the school and city, has brought fine exhibits to the campus. The paintings which have been purchased by the club are hung in a room of the new Music Hall. In this collection of nine pictures are a very fine etching by Frank Brangwyn and a painting of an early Ameri- can artist of the Hudson River School. The faculty of the department consists of Elsie Leitch Bowman and Bertha A. Spencer. The offices and classrooms are on the second floor of the Industrial Arts building. PAGE 28

CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS J. A. YATES, PH. D. HEAD OF DEPARTMENT This department has been given the permission to offer major or minor work in chemistry for the Master of Science degree. A friend of the department has been supplying the College library for many years with the Journals1 of the American Chemical society, along with closely allied magazines. This library material furnishes a good background for reference material for Master’s work in chemistry. The student who chooses his major in chemistry may select a minor in any department which offers a major or minor in the graduate division of the College. The aim of the department is to co-operate earnestly and effectively with all other departments and interests of the institution. PAGE 30
