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.

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.

Second Term, ly o 1941 . Department of Health and Physical Education UNLIKE other departments, the Health de- partment is concerned only with promot- mg the health and physical efficiency oi the undergraduates, hi consequence it maintains an elahorate program of athletics and physical training, and assumes the responsibility for the supervision of students ' health in order that ill ness may receive immediate and expert care, intectious diseases he held to the lowest level and the general working efficiency of the stu- dents be kept at a peak. Directed by the Trustee Committee on Health and Athletics, a staff of physicians is maintamed to supervise the care of health of the undergraduates. The Isabella McCosh Inhrmary, is supervised by this medical staff. The athletic division is provided with very complete hicilities otlered by the gymnasium, numerous playing fields and a hockey rink. In order that Freshman may be intnuluced to these facilities and to a general program ot health maintenance, they are required to take a course in Physical Education. It is the desire ot the department that the student will continue some consistent program of athletics throughout his four years of college in order that his health be properly safeguarded.

Chuirmtin Foster Logan Swinncrton Department of History HISTORY has constituted a separate depart- ment ot instruction since 1924. Possibly because it is so young, the department is impos- sible to type. Last fall the Princetnnian sug- gested that the history department had estab- lished a party line on a vital question of educa- tional policy. Anyone who has worked under Professor ertenbaker, the two Halls, Albion, or Sontag, to name only the professors, would realize that no tv ' o o( these men could agree on a party line. The department is agreed only on the neces- sity for a high standard o( undergraduate teach- ing. In few institutions can students of history secure such able instruction at the undergraduate 25
