Dr C. Carl Robusto js ,ff IUHYSICS ln the complex manner in which knowledge is gleaned, one must first seek the explanations of those tangible and sensual processes enveloping his everyday life. lt is to answer these questions on the nature of physical phenomena that the Physics Department takes its place in education. The elucidating and well-chosen words of Dr, C. Carl Ro- busto change the mechanical world of levers and pressures, ethereal waves and forces into intriguing expressions of nature. Dr. Robusto offers a course of integrated study in order to acquaint the liberal arts student with the elements of the physi- sal sciences and to explain the material mannerisms which characterize this universe. A vigorous study of the general bases of Physics supplies the foundation and provides the specific principles necessary for the student's entrance into any other major field of science. With an unequalled humor supplementing a genuine interest in each student, Dr. Robusto further proceeds to amplify the science curriculum with a program of advanced courses sep- arately treating the phenomena of light, electricity, mag- netism and heat. The Physics Department of University College, correlating theoretical axioms with practical applications, attains its es- sential goal in providing the student with an understanding of the forces governing his physical world, while simultaneously presenting him with a store of knowledge which can be utilized in this twentieth century of science.

An education with a foundation built on right values 1 represents one of the desperate needs of today's society. Only teachers possessing these values can fulfill that need. Under Dr. John C. McDermott, the Education Department of University College offers the professional courses which will equip the teacher for this task. By combining the philosophic and historic views with the traditional principles of elementary school training, the courses aim at developing teachers who are not only proficient in method- ology, but who are also apprised of the variables in the human equation. Professor Richard Rush, with Dr. McDermott, seeks to acquaint the future instruc- tor with the psychological outlook required by his specialized field. The symbolic lamp of learning, with its flame of wisdom and truth, so familiar to each of us through the University's seal, is thus made to burn not only for us, but also for those others who rely upon the intellectually endowed to guide them in their times of doubt. Dr, John C. McDermott Professor John R. Norton STUDIES and the study of a society commencing with its smallest entity, the family group.
