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

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.

Physics and Chemistry Getchell Mersey Kadcsch Read The Department of Physics and Chemistry receives the patronage of two classes of students. One class consists of those who do not intend to teach, but who are seeking preparation for certain technical courses, such as engineering, medicine, and its allied professions. The second class of students consists of those who intend to teach. They constitute the major portion of students working in the Department. Besides the general courses necessary for the preparation of high school teachers of physics and chemistry, the Depart- ment offers a few special courses for music students, physical education students, and elementary course students.
