Physical Education for Men Baker Bender Dickinson McCuskey Whitford Physical Education is of fundamental importance to the health and therefore the ultimate success of the students. They may participate in the various sports and activities purely for the enjoyment of the game and the physical exercise, or a combination of this and a general preparation towards coaching athletics in high school. Physical education has come to mean more than a mere skill or performance. It demands a wholesome point of view toward life, correct attitudes and living. It not only builds muscular strength, but strength of character and morals. The major sports of each term, together with the intra-mural sports and activities, af- ford each student many opportunities for participation in physical contests, and promote a general spirit of loyalty to the college, essential to any educational institution.

Natural Science Abbott, Aitchison, Gilbert I.antz, Rath, Scott, I'ttlcy DR. E. J. C ABLE...............Department Head The Department of Natural Science attempts to develop in students proper habits and attitudes of learning and reasoning. The chief concern of each teacher in the Department is to teach students, at the same time that they arc securing factual knowledge, to become independent in thinking, adept in the learn- ing processes, and appreciative of the need for constant mental adjustment to the ever new in the field of science. The work offered in the Department has two main objectives. First, a securing of sufficient knowledge to fit men and women to teach their subjects compe- tently in the public school, and second, the develop- ment of meaningful outlooks and attitudes toward life and universal service to society.

Physical Education for Women Humiston, Michel, Moore Short, Van Ness, White MONIC A WILD...................Department Head The Department of Physical Education for Women aims to create and stimulate interest in wholesome physical forms of recreation for all the women in school and to provide a means by which such interest may find concrete expression. To that end, in addi- tion to the regular class work in Physical Education activities, sports clubs have been formed which are open to every girl in school. These provide opportun- ities for participation in such activities as hikes, picnics, and outdoor winter sports, and for competition in such activities as hockey, tennis, and basketball. Equipment for pingpong, shuffle board, badminton, deck tennis, and tether ball is available for use in leisure hours. Two bicycles, twelve pairs of roller skates, and ten pairs of skiis are recent additions to equipment which may be used by students. Page 27
