Department of English ALTF OUGH its primary field is the study ot English literature, and its fundamental Freshman course is a detailed study ot the plays of Shakespeare, the English department from its ground course, practise in writing, offers courses in oral and written composition, public speaking and debate, and a course, in coopera- tion with the Modern Languages department, on Franco-American cultural relations. Also, in accordance with further agreement with this department, a major may split between Eng- lish and Modern Languages or Classics. Bobby ' s English, of Senior singing fame, attests well to the recurring popularity of this department of study and to the ability and ap- peal of the men who lorm its staft. The stu- dent majoring in English is presented with a choice of courses on not only the ages and great men of English literature, but in every branch of the literary held. Thus the student comes in contact with the lund of great literary culture of the English people, as well as the lives and history of the men who have formed this, the background for our own American culture. There is perhaps no other field of study in which the humanistic ideal of a synthesis of learning can be so nearly realized; for English literature is at once a tool of communication, a significant chain of historical documents, and, most important, a valuable art embodying poetry, the drama, and the narratix ' c, in all their forms.

Dcpt. of Economics and Social Institutions ECONOMICS is not mere statistics. Studies in the department deal with the complexi- ties and problems of the economic world as well. A world of banks and corporations, interna- tional trad.c and labor, it is true, but a world of increasing importance to those interested in any phase of social studies. Even finance, trade and industry are but a small part of the work of the department. It teaches an understanding of present day eco- nomic organizations and forces, and their broad scope is well attested by the equally divergent topics of Seniors ' theses. In keeping with Princeton ' s tradition of liberal education, the department makes no attempt to teach the techniques ol business practice- a changing technique which il taught is likely to be out ot date by the time the stu- Howard, Giairman Mclsaac Graiiam McCibc cent is ready to use it. A reason contmuall) ' held before the student for studying Economics is that he may more intelligently promote the public weal. Because of the great importance of economics in present day affairs and because of the practical value of such courses as accounting, corporation problems and public finance, the department is one of the largest in the University. The neces- sity and pertinence ot economics in the School of Public and International Affairs and the School of Engineering make the department a major field of study tor the tormer and Eco- nomics 201-2 a required course for the latter.

Department of Geology THE Department of Geology has tor many years recognized the value of outdoor field work as an integral part of its program of classroom studies and mdepcndent work. Rocks as they occur in the earth ' s surface are the geologist ' s laboratory; field work, with its manifold interesting and puzzling prob- lems, provides the greatest stimulus for geolo- gists, and affords the student an opportunity through natural phenomena to practise and develop his powers of observation, of reason- ing, of thinking, and of understanding. Guvor Museum In the past nine years o ' er 400 undergradu- ates have participated in various field studies: the S-day trip to the Appalachians and the local trips in New Jersey; the Summer School trip in the Rockies and the far West; detailed re- gional studies near Princeton ' s research camp in the Beartooth Mountains of Montana; the Scott Fund expeditions throughout the west; cooperative research in Newfoundland; and numerous smaller expeditions ranging from Labrador to California and from Canada to Yucutan under faculty or graduate student supervision. Senior theses embrace a great variety of sub- jects, ranging from regional studies and geologic mapping to problems of oil geology, niineral resources, fossils, economic geography, and Physiography, and may be based either on held studies or coordinated laboratory or library re- search.
