SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES Big news in the School of Humanities, under Dean John . Dodds, left, has been the introduction of ex- panded Pacific-Asiatic-Russian studies. Departments in various schools of Stanford are combining to offer relevant and essential courses in this field. Providing a sound foundation for academic work preparatory to advanced degrees, such a program gives a thorough background for those who wish to prepare for specific positions in foreign countries or in government serv- ice. Always noted for an excellent curriculum in liberal education, the School is proudly upholding this tradition with the Pacific-Asiatic-Russian studies. ith the increased enrollment, departments such as Speech and Drama: English; Romanic, Slavic, and Germanic Languages — to mention a few — have be- come scenes of increased activity. isiting faculty members have been welcomed heartily to the School, with Professor Theodore M. Greene of Princeton among this group. The English Department has its Sinatra bow tie fan in the pverson of Wallace Stecrner. Victor AmaulofFs students dabble in oib with visions of someday be- coming Rembrandts.

oSw SCHOOL OF HEALTH X- The School of Health, under Oswald N. Ander- sen, right, is an indispensable part of Stanford life. While giving degrees in physical education and hy- giene, it trains individuals in personal health educa- tion and student health programs. With the advent of the war, the School of Health relieved the urgent need for Nurses ' Aides by giving the necessary pre- liminary courses in conjunction with the Red Cross. It also relinquished the services of a number of its faculty so that they might temporarily serve the im- mediate needs of the country in the field of medicine. Among this group is Dr. Craig Lee Taylor who has been conducting aeronautical research on the effect of the stratosphere and pressure upon fliers. With a return to peacetime the School of Health has reor- ganized its wartime physical-fitness program. Excel- lent health for Stanford, and for the entire country, is now the primary concern of students and teachers in the School of Health. Dr. George Luckett spent a busy year as Farm health officer. Edith Lindsay divided her time between teaching hygiene and physical education.
