All These rses are designed To prepare The sTudenT Tor ciTizenf p in The TuTure.

A. R. The conTribuTions made To democracy by Americans oT Today and in The pasT were especially emphasized and Trips were Taken To The seaTs oT local governmenT and places OT his- Torical inTeresT. Thus, hisTory became more Than dull reciral oT TacTs To Sullivan sTudenTs. dence THE HOPE OF THE FUTURE ln These modern Times Science has become increasingly imporTanT To socieTy. AT Sullivan There is visible prooT oT This Trend. The en- rollmenTs in The Science DeparTmenT have been sTeadily increasing each year.
