AGL 6114, jyfzydiccaf gicfucozlfion The Division of Health and Physical Education is principally concerned ivith the prevention of disease and the building of sound physical health. An important function of this division is the Student Health Service. Its facilities now include a hospital for those needing special care and a student clinic for persons seeking medical advice. Dr. Dudley A. Robuett, Columbia physician and one of the foremost surgeons of the Middle West, is acting chairman of the health staff which includes three other doctors and an adequate corps of nurses and laboratory technicians. This year Dr. Florence Ma- honey has assumed a large share of the responsibility of the Health Center. The aims of the Student Health Program are to teach each student the essentials of preventive medicine and the fundamentals of personal and community hy- gieneg to provide each student with practical experience in nursing suited to the needs of family and community life, and to provide efficient health service for the care of all students on campus. P08625 Dn. DUDLEY A. fRoBNE'rT A unique aspect of the health program is the super- vision of the diet tables. The diets are regulated to help students gain or lose Weight safely according to their particular health needs. Working in close harmony with Health Education is the Physical Education staff, directed by Miss Wilma Haynes, who is also in charge of the state physical fitness program. Physical fitness has been stressed more tl1an ever this year, and the increased amount of student participation during open hours has indicated the success of this program. Three hours of physical education each week are required of all students 'throughout their college course. Medical and physical examinations in the fall determine the type of recreational activities best suited to each girl's needs. Courses offered at various times during the year include fencing, field hockey, archery, bad- minton, baseball, basket ball, boating, canoeing, body conditioning, corrective gymnastics, golf, dancing, recre- ational games, riding, soccer, swimming, tennis, and volleyball.

I, S DR. LOUISE DUDLEY iuifiion of wmanified Next to religion, art is the thing that makes life worth living. This statement made by Dr. Louise Dudley illustrates the main purpose of the Humanities Division of Stephens College. The art, music, literature, drama, and humanities staffs have as their predominant objective the promotion of the students' happiness through the medium of greater appreciation, enjoyment, and understanding of the fine arts. The enjoyment of the arts is everyone's privilege, and they must be known and understood before they can honestly be enjoyed. Just as a friend becomes more and more valuable as new traits, beliefs, and philosophies are revealed, the arts become more indispensable and enjoy- able as new understanding and appreciation are gained. Recently introduced into the Humanities Division are various practical classes. The Home Furnishing classes develop appreciation through actual applications of the fundamentals of home furnishing. Beginning Page 27 Acting, Practical Music, Introduction to Art, Master- pieces of Literature, and the History of Music classes have a like approach. ' The Humanities Division is responsible for the personal libraries students are allowed to keep in their rooms, the paintings in the residence hall parlors, and the art displays from which a student may choose a paint- ing for her room. The Division is also active in sponsor- ing faculty and student concerts and plays. The enthusiasm shown by Dr. Dudley, head of the Humanities Division since 1927, serves as an inspiration to all those who work with her. A true sense of values is more important today than ever before. To develop and maintain this sense of values, it is essential to develop and maintain an ap- preciation of the fine arts. Toward this goal the efforts of the Humanities Division' are directed.
