First, it offers degree courses in the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Education and Psychology, English, Foreign Languages, Geology, Government, History, Journalism, Klathematics, lllusic, Philosophy, Physical and Health Education, Physics, Sociology, and Speech. Second, the Division serves as a subject matter division for all divisions of the institution. No matter what cur- riculum a student may select, he takes some of the funda- mental subjects such as English, mathematics, history, physics, foreign languages, speech, and journalism as foundation courses. In addition to the curricula leading regularly to a degree, certain pre-professional curricula are offered, such as pre-law and pre-medical training. DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY, headed by R. A. Studhalter, offers courses to students working toward the Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Arts Degree and for those classified as pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-phar- macy, or pre-clinical technicians or nurses. The depart- ment also offers courses for those students working toward Page 28

Holden, offers courses designed to give a knowledge of the cul- tural aspirations of the past and of man's efforts to care for the material needs of society through certain economic structures and changing political organizations. The origin and development of present-day institutions receive major consideration. JOURNALISKI DEPARTINIFNT, headed by Cecil Horne, is designed to give a thorough training in the technique of journalistic writing and editing, a knowledge of the development of American journalism, and an under- standing of those principles which underlie the most ap- proved journalistic practices. One year's experience in reporting is required of all journalism graduates. hluch practice in news gatherings, writing, and editing is given. DEPARTKHCNT OF RIATHENIATICS AND ASTRONOIXIY, headed by J. N. liichie, provides es- sential training in the service science which underlies all technological progress and at the same time fosters habits of logical thinking which are basic to a well-rounded edu- DIVISION GF cation. In this field the student is confronted challeng- ingly with the problem of drawing exact and undebatable conclusions from given premises by use of sound thinking alone. The successful student of mathematics gains more than technical proficiency leading to opportunities in edu- cation, business, and industry. He gains also in the char- acter elements of confidence and self-reliance. The courses in astronomy are designed to impress upon the student a life-long realization of the vastness and majestic ordcrliness of the universe around him. DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC, headed by Dr. Julien Paul Blitz, offers a music major toward the Bachelor of Arts Degree and major in Public School ilfusic and in Band hlusic for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education.
