6'lAS ICS' gmac imma This year saw the establishment of a Jazz Club under the direction of Mr. Ulanov, an Instructor in the English Department. Lectures were given regularly throughout the year, at which famous jazz recordings were played and discussed. The Classics Department has two d1st111ct aims i11 offering its selection of courses. The primary aim is to provide the student with a firm grounding in the languages of Greece and Rome, and the secondary function, to provide a good battery of courses in the Classics without requiring use of the languages themselves .... In addition to the eight departmental students, a great many men who are major- ing in other fields of the humanities and the social sciences take correlated courses under the Classics Department .... Wihitney J. Oates ,25, who also heads the Special Program in the Humanities, is Chairman of the Classics Department, whose faculty includes F. R. B. Godolphin, Dean of the College.

HUGH STOTT TAYLOR CHEMISTRY Eighteen seniors and thirty juniors chose the subject of chemistry for their departmental study. This department is the oldest one in the natural science field, and there are approximately 1,000 students taking courses under its auspices .... The new lecture-experiment method is used for underclass courses and is best exemplified by the man- ner in which professors Alyea and Turkevich conduct their courses .... All the members of the faculty, under the chairmanship of Dr. Taylor, conduct research on various chemical problems. Two notable research achievements are those of Professors Furman and Wallis. The former, working i11 analytical chemistry, did the chemical anal- yses for the Manhattan Project, While the latter was one of a team that synthesized the new wonder-drug, cortisone. Back Row: C.

Majoring in the department, a man makes a choice between tl1e two divisions in which to concentrate: economics and sociology. Commerce and business attract the largest number of departmental graduates, and many go into graduate studies in business administration and law .... Many of the faculty members are nationally known, such as R. H. Lester, the Departmental Chairman, who is a specialist in labor relations, F. W. Notestein, who directs the Office of Population Research, and O. Morgenstern, an expert on business cycles, who initiated an econometric seminar for seniors last year .... In May, the department sponsored a conference for businessmen, government officials, and representatives from education at the Princeton Inn. This has become an annual event.
