mmm THE vast field of economics is cov- ered with appreciable thorough- ness in this department. With the principles firmly intrenched in their minds, students learn to face intelli gently problems of today which come within the scope of econ- omics. THE geography department has the entire world as its fascin- ating object of study. Economic, political, and occupational geog- raphy are some of the subdivisions of the department. A geographical study of Hawaii brings the subject very close to home. A REVIEW of the introduction to both anthropology and soci- ology is given by studying the de velopment of human sciences with an intensive training of the biologi- cal and social factors involved in so-called race mixture. This depart- ment serves sociology students. MURALS, frescoes, stage work, commercial art. and designs, in addition to the fundamentals, are done in the art department. The aim is to give criticism and guid- ance in the fields of art and to de velop self motivation and instructor- independence. t

ASKED about his hobbies. Dr. E. V. Sayers replied, I like to take colored movies and play chess. He added, Come to thinfc of it, I don't think I have much of a hobby; in fact, I haven't any separate hobby. TROUT fishing used to be the pastime of Dr. Bruce White on the mainland. Here, it's golfing and surfing. The sight of a fac- ulty member walking across the muddy campus, barefooted, shoes in one hand and a brief case in the other, startled him. MR. RALPH WENTWORTH-ROHR loves to hold discussions on almost any subject with TC freshmen. He rarely hints as to what he can really do; he is known to be among other things an artist, preacher, pianist, and mathematician. DR. W. THOMAS BRYAN, TC senior ad- viser, admires humanity in general, but dislikes esoteric art, paper napkins, things irrelevant, and semi-conscious people. This handsome Yaleman reads and fly fishes for pastimes.

BRISK and cheerful Mrs. Lucy L. Mc- Gowan is the ministering ange! who receives ailing and pseudo-ailing students in the dispensary. Often has a student blessed this indispensable dis- pensary as the source of those conve- nient excuses which effectively still the imperious voice of conscience v hich invariably accompanies a cut. AN outgrowth of the Japanese de- partment, founded in 1S20, and the Chinese department, founded in 1922, the Oriental Institute was organized in 1935. The purpose of this institute is to train students in Oriental languages and cultures and to bring cultural achievements of the East to the people of the West. Communication, color words, vo- cal energy, variations in pitch, are the techniques learned by students in speech classes. Occasionally, loud and screeching shouts are tc be heard pour- ing out from a voice and diction class. Don't call for the police for it's only a student trying to exercise his vocal powers. 23
