BIOLOGY D. W. DUNHAM, Head of Biology Department. General education and specialization are two of the important functions of the De¬ partment of Biology. The general cours¬ es in the department bring the liberal arts student in contact with the princi¬ ples of biological science which are a part of the intellectual development of a well-educated person. For those students whose interests are directed toward pro- fessions in biological science or those closely allied to biological science, the department is equipped to assist the student in specialization toward these ends. In the department, students may prepare for medicine, dentistry, nursing, optom¬ etry, veterinary medicine, and other areas in medical science. The depart¬ ment cooperates with two of the city hospitals in offering a degree course in medical technology. Other fields which students prepare for in the department are: high- s chool teach¬ ing, graduate work leading to college teaching, work in industrial research laboratories, and positions in the biolog¬ ical fields with state and federal govern¬ ments.

HARD AT WORK is this art class. ART The Art Department has a threefold aim. The first is to give those studying to be elementary teachers a background of ap¬ preciation and art procedures through the three courses required by the state of Indiana--fundamentals of art, art appreciation, and art methods. MISS FLORENCE KEVE, Head of Art Department. The second aim is to provide a general art background for those wishing to en¬ large their cultural scope. The appre¬ ciation courses, art and civilization (his¬ tory), and the creative art courses supply this need. The third aim is to provide varied ex¬ perience in the many phases of art for those majoring in the subject or for those with special talents seeking specific techniques. Many of these offerings come in the evening so that the townspeople can participate in metalcraft, ceramics, painting, crafts, figure drawing, and many others. 14

BUSINESS, ECONOMICS The concept among leaders in educa¬ tional matters in regard to the purpose and role of a college education under¬ goes constant change. What the layman considers this role to be also undergoes change. The curricular changes in the Depart¬ ment of Business Administration and Economics made over the past years in¬ dicate the attempt made to integrate the department with the new pattern of edu¬ cation. It has always been the aim to gear the work of the department with these changing concepts. The staff of the department has ever been conscious of its proper role--to work toward the development of graduates possessing the characteristics of well- rounded young business persons. This includes not only a role of a vocational nature; it means also a person who will be an asset to the community in which he resides. Just as in the past, the department has striven to develop to meet these chang¬ ing concepts so it will ever be ready to do so in the future. tR. JAMES JULIAN, Associate Professor of Management shows a statistical chart to students. The department recognizes that further changes will occur regarding what con¬ stitutes an ideal college of the future. 16
