x.. ci iijftiiz- XY' fi' ' S S 1 I a! fiff' ' ,-1 Social Science VVhen you first came to Simmons, the School you were to graduate from four years later wasn't even there. You took the course prescribed for all freshmen without knowing quite where it would take you or what you were going to -lo with it. At the end of the year you still weren't sure. liiy the following September you had Finally decided on Business, Publication, Nursing, or any other one of the six schools. You took the sophomore course in whatever school you had selected and you liked it, but something was missing. Maybe you were in the wrong school. You looked at what the catalog had to say about each of the other schools, and you had interviews with some of the directors. but still you weren't completely satisfied. So when you began hearing rumors of a new school to be started in the fallj you were interested at once. VVhen the new cata- log came out and the School of Social Science became a reality, you'went directly to hlr. kvelliling and, after talking with him, you made up your mind. This was for you. Thus it was that you entered the School of your choice in the Fall oF your junior year rather than your sophomore year. You had a little dilhculty adjusting your courses to 1 Mr. Weldon Welfling, Professor ot Economics, and Director ot the School ot Social Science those required by the new department, but oncc you cleared that hurdle, you settled down to work. You learned something else when you chose the School of Social Science: your life wasnt settled when you made that first choice, for the School offered tive distinct programs and you had to make a second choice of one of them. It was hard to decide among them: public administration, economic analysis, community work, psychological measurements, or pre-teaching. YVith the help of Mr. W'elHing. however, you were ready to begin in one of them. You plunged into such courses as: Business and Social Measurements, Principles of Personnel, and Office Manage- mentg or Xvorld Ee Development, Labor Problems, and Seminar of Social Economicsg or Government, Sociology, Social VVork, and Psychological Measurements. It was hard to believe, but you had spare hours for academic electives. too. Came the end of your tour years. You were prepared for almost anything-graduate school, or work in the field you had studied for. You were only the second class to graduate from the School ot Social Science. but you were all for itl Some of our instructors caught in an intormal moment: left to right: Mr. Hunter, Mr. Halko M Tolletson, Mr. Kahl, and Mr. Hawthorne How can you get a wrong answer when you use a machine like this?

' f expresslon of the student voice 1n the democracy of our Microcosm 1 ' X X Familiarly known as STU-G, recognized by the Simmons community entire, and readily identified by one of the colleges most honored and respected symbols, the blue and gold ribbon cluster. Origin: the first year of our college, inaugurated by our Hrst dean, Sarah Louise Arnold and the members of the first class at Simmons. The Student Guild as it was then titled, pre- sented as a result of its First issue the Honor System, an idea which has now become an ideal. Derivation: from the basic student need for participation in the maintenance and legislation of college aiiairs. The word, STU-G Q' is perhaps the most expressive and versatile in the Simmons vocabulary. As a verb it is seldom used intransitively, always very actively, expressing the views and ideas of an entire student body and always employing a direct object. That object? Action and satisfaction of the needs of the student. As a conjunctive, STU-C acts as inter- mediary between faculty and students in its open meetings held regularly throughout the year. As an adjective, STU-G not only describes our highest ideals at Simmons, but defines college policy for us. STU-G in its role of pronoun represents each member of the college community-as a noun standing for many persons and things, STU-G is the subject of high approval. 22
