This training is both practical and cultural: practical, be- cause it prepares for teaching and for higher degrees, cultural, because it intensifies interest in one of the great- est instruments of education, widens one's mental horizon, and by contact with various peoples and litera- tures of various times, enables the student to form more intelligent opinions of our own civilization. ful, the necessity for an 'outstanding government de- J- W-,FENDER partment In a teacher-tralning institution is evident and Dmclor unquestioned.

Executives '-- X -'--I Department of Geography JOIIN ROBERT SWENSON, M. A. MARY jo COWLING, M. A. CIIAUNCEY LLOYD POLLOCK, M. A. Geography portrays the background of human ex- perience in space as history does in time. Both cor- relatives are necessary if men shall understand their environment and inheritance to the end that they may live abundantly and happily on the earth. The good life can come only When men have learned to respect one another and to co-operate with their combined inheritance to master their universal environment. For this reason Man and Nature and their mutual reactions are the sub- ject-matter of Geography. J. R. SWIENSON Director Department of Geography Department of History LEWIS WILLIAM NEWTON, ANNA IRION POWELL, Ph. D. Ph. D. CORA WILSON, M. A. JOSEPH LYMAN KINGSBURY, CLARENCE ALLAN BRIDGES, Ph. D. M. A. ' In a World Where material things and materialistic ideas very largely engage one's attention, the study of A history in only its romantic and colorful aspects would probably be justified. The faculty of this department Works with the con viction that a knowledge of the history of the more im portant social groups now existing in this World Will L- VZQSEXTON furnish an excellent, if not a necessary, background for Department of History the pLlI'Sll1t of any of the other school subjects. More than any other subject, perhaps, history cuts across and alds in the broader interpretation of other subjects in the curriculum. l 17
