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

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.

level; in tew institutions are they held to as high a standard ot performance. The attraction which the teaching oikrcd by the department holds for undergraduates and the ready acceptance of its high standards are demonstrated by the fact that the number and the quality of the undergraduates electing the department have remained consistently high. The results of this policy of exacting the best from both instructor and student may be seen in the excellent record made by history gradu- ates, not only in graduate schools of history, but in other fields of advanced professional study.

Dcpt. of Mathematics MATHEMATICS is a science of funda- mental laws and qualities that are essen- tial in numerous other fields and professions. The study of Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, and Mechanics all have as a basis of operation or construction some form of mathematics, and so they are to a large extent dependent upon the Department of Mathematics. The Department ot Mathematics includes the study ot every field ot this science and holds courses in the history and development of mathematical concepts, and the practical prob- lem of mechanics as well as the more theo- retical branches. For the student who majors in Mathematics, the department suggests some knowledge of Physics as well as the ability to read in either French or German. Aside from the normal order of courses foUov ed in departmental study a student may toUow a plan in mathematical physics or a program in statistics. There are, as in other ciepartments, several plans of study open to the more excellent students.
