SCIENCES The age of the atomic bomb is stretching its hands in a desperate plea for men women equipped with a knowledge and derstanding of the problems of their le. The world stands at a crucial point, e physical sciences have almost over- pped the mark; and it is up to the social iences to maintain the balance. The Atomic Age clamors for historians o know their subject well, and interpret with unbiased minds; economists whose de of ethics is Christian, and who do not se sight of I he individual; political scien- sts who labor for the good of nations, Uher than the good of self; and sociolo- lists with the human qualities necessary to jnit together the ravelled threads of shat- sred lives and broken nations. Below right: Bulletin board display attracts history stu- dents Gertrude McMahon, Betty Wagar, and Dorothy Hume.
