Physicists Anne, Mary and Dorothy Are Guided by Miss Balling Mme. Laus Chats with Ruth Every mind can find its proper mode of expression in one of the varied fields of concentration, while the Regisite works toward a Bachelor of Arts degree. Each is assured of future success in the application of the theory learned from textbooks, through previews of the working world while doing field work. Literature, Journalism and the Romance Languages open the gates to reporting, feature writing or teaching. Social work- ers and statisticians are equally capable in the A.B. group. The Classics are a must for students who wish to trace the history of Rome or Greece. Economics, recently added to the fields of concentration, shows the place of the financial angle in the realm of business. Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics lay the groundwork for laboratory and research work. Pre-Medical courses are equally beneficial. The Bachelor of Science degree prepares potential dietitians, secretaries and teach- ers. Balancing the subject of concentration are courses in Philosophy, Religion and Literature, which prevent one-sidedness and open the mind to the limitless store of available knowledge. Perfection in Typing and Shorthand, plus a thorough knowledge of office machines, is fundamental in the Com- merce section. This may be tempered with Accounting, Education or Finance, as the individual chooses. Dress design and merchandising high- light the study of a Clothing major. Those choosing Dietetics have opportunities for practicingin theCafeteria. Textiles, Tailor- ing and Interior Decorating all fall in the realm of a B.S. degree. A rounded scientific training insures placement in hospitals or institutions for field work. Teachers’ train- ing meets the State requirements. [ 29 ]

Student - Faculty Cooperation Although dances, plays and athletic events have their place in college life, there is one phase often overlooked as students pass through four years of aca- demic routine. This is the Faculty-Student relationship. Many take for granted their innumera- ble services and aids, and regard the Pro- fessors not as individuals, but rather as machines. To the intelligent, rounded individual, this will not occur. Seeing the Faculty as molders of their minds and careers, they appreciate the suggestions and corrections which are a necessary part of scholarship. Cooperation and interest are the marks of appreciation for their generous and un- selfish help. By our accepting constructive advice, our talents are developed and new, unrecognized abilities are brought to the foreground. Miss Coleman Supervises Experiments of Junior Chemists When we leave Regis, we are prepared to accept life’s rebuffs and take our place as confident, ambitious, young Catholic women. By supplementing knowledge gleamed from textbooks with practical experience and keen observation, the Faculty balances our personalities and correlates scattered ideas. Familiarity with them widens our circle of friends and gives the poise ob- tained only from varied and numerous con- tacts. An appreciation of their more con- servative views modifies our more im- petuous youthful gusto. Imitation of their tact and studied methods prepares us for the role of leaders in our life after leaving Regis. It is a worthwhile investment to understand Faculty relations in our collegiate life. The dividends in friendship, helpfulness and memories are innumerable. Seminar with Miss Bryan [ 28 ]
