DEPARTMENT OF ART AND MANUAL ARTS Two major lines are represented in the Department of Art and Manual Arts.

To provide the special training needed by such stu- dents a variety of courses is offered in design, drawing, craft work, interior decoration, commercial illustration, and methods and organization of art work in the schools.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR WOMEN “To play generously, to live whole- somely, to work faithfully . . . are worthy ideals of physical education.”— Williams. With the spaciousness of our well- equipped gymnasium and the adequate expanses of our playing fields the Physical Education Department for Women should live up to its unequalled opportunities for making through phys- ical education, its unique contribution toward the development of that splen- didly co-ordinated, highly animated body that thinks, feels, and acts with integrity, purpose, and altruism. For this inspiring task the Physical Education Department is mobilizing its energies. It is actuated by a conviction that through sound well-directed big- muscle activity of the play type, there can be achieved an integration of or- ganic and motor forces, with emotional and thought resources into a whole- some, useful and happy personality. This conviction further stimulates the Department to endeavor to lead the student toward a realization of the signifi- cance of joyous participation in physical exercise and toward a zealous interest in learning how she as a teacher can use children s play activities as a valuable means of developing in them worthy traits of character. The Department aims to lead those students who are most interested on into a full measure of realiza- tion and into a complete preparation for the teaching of Physical Education. The phrase “to play generously, with the several meanings of the word “generously,” forms the keynote of the plans made by the Department for the achievement of its purposes, and a most generous invitation to play generously is extended to all women students through the ample facilities provided and the broad offerings of activities which these facilities make possible. a Monica R.
