Van Horn Experience for the practical; fascination for the idealist—science. Through chemistry, biol- ogy, physics, and the general sciences, phenom- ena play havoc with the imagination. Questions ever bombard and test one’s resource of knowl- edge. The Why’s, the How’s, the What’s of life are explored and measured with infinite thor- oughness. From the depths of the ocean to the limitless span of space itself, from the incredible probing of an atom to the mastering of E=mc2 —this is adventure, this is invaluable experience, this is science in its most fabulous form.

Characteristics of exactness, preciseness, attentive- ness mature with the exploration of algebra, geom- etry, trigonometry, college, functional, and business mathematics. Question: If a + b = c, what does a equal ? Through an environment of mathematics, reasoning becomes a trait expressed in other fields of life. Answer: a — c — b. Actually much of the concept of definite responsi- bility in the solving of any problem stems directly or indirectly from an individual’s involvement in a world of mathematics. MR.

The philosopher, the adventurer, the romanti- cist, the student finds an absorbing atmosphere of learning through the discovery of the incredible, yet real, world of our society. World Culture—appreciation of other civiliza- tions and times, American History—the story of the growth of the United States, Problems of Democracy —situations which confront our nation combine to present the attempts, the disappointment; the vul- garity, the refinement; the progress; the dreams of mankind! DR. DERR EMPHASIZES an important point in the dis- cussion of stocks in Problems of Democracy. John M. Auten Emerson L. Derr Chester W. Byers Daniel 0. Hoy
