DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND COMMERCE The science of Mathematics is the out- growth of the efforts of human beings to orientate themselves in the world in which they live. All science in the final analysis becomes mathematical in nature. A basic clement in the modern movement in Math- ematics is the training of teachers who will live and work under the inspiration of this conception of the science which they teach. The training of teachers of commercial subjects is in a transition stage. The prac- tical values of the subjects which they teach have had and will continue to have the major emphasis. Teachers College has always maintained a high standard in this field of work and has every reason to be- lieve that the future is filled with promise of greater successes. A. Back Re-: T. S.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH S. A. Lynch Head In the English department there are two major lines of work, English and Speech, which are closely interrelated. The prac- tical objective is the cultivation of the abil- ity to speak and write English acceptably in any professional or social situation. There is also a cultural aim which calls for an extensive acquaintance with English and American literature. In the Speech major the main objective is the develop- ment of personality through intensive study and oral interpretation of the best in liter- ature, and through expression of original thought and feeling in various forms of public address. Actuating all the work is the desire to prepare students to become teachers with adequate knowledge and superior skill. Hack Hoi- : Mi » Terry. Min Florence Freeman, Mrs. .Tone .

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY The Department of Physics and Chemis- try attempts to serve the student body in three ways. First, it offers some special courses for students pursuing vocational curricuiums. Second, it offers courses for students preparing to teach in the grades. Third, its advanced courses prepare stu- dents for science teaching in the high schools. There arc always quite a number of students enrolled in this department taking pre-medic and pre-engineering courses in physics and chemistry. Louis Becema.v Head Page 26 R. W. Gtlchdl, S. K.
