Zb 6cm BURT W. AYRES, Ph. D. Vice-President PHILOSOPHY Dhilosophy deals with the human experience as a whole. It embraces the general aspects of all the sciences, seeking to bring all into a coherent system. Science in its modern meaning uses mainly description and explanation; Philosophy uses also interpretation and appreciation. Science deals with events as mere occurrences; Philosophy deals also with meanings and values. Logic deals with truth value s; Aesthetics, with beauty values; Ethics, with moral values. A person ' s philosophy is the set of beliefs by which he orders his life. A fundamental in the interpretation of the universe means a fundamental difference in his character and destiny. 1934 Page Eighteen

Cbe Gem ARTHUR HOWARD, A. M. Dean of the College SOCIOLOGY The Department of Sociology seeks to disclose a comprehensive analysis of the science of human relationships and the constituent factors of group control. Two principles are kept to the front; first, that members of society should be given the fullest and richest possibilities of developing their potential powers, and secondly, that any individual should give his life unselfishly in building the lives of other persons and the group. Thorough theoretical preparation is offered as a basis for practical courses of the Department of Social Service of graduate schools. It is hoped that the student will discover that group interests are his interests, that his life is made the richer as he enriches group life, and that he will learn the worth of the spirit values of life, without which society is poor indeed.
