Dr. Gerald L. Gullickson Assistant Professor of Literature Dr. Ellis Shorb Professor of Literature The Division of Humanities in- cludes, for purposes of administra- tive control, five academic deport- ments: Art and Music, Foreign Languages, History, Literature and Language, and Philosophy. The sub- jects taught in these departments are held to be the cornerstone of liberal education because they min- ister to man the intellectual and moral being. Their study contributes to an understanding of man ' s total cultural heritage, to the develop- ment of a richer moral and imagi- native insight, to a refinement of the powers of discrimination, to per- sonal stability based on a firm sense of values. Far from being a luxury, the humanities are the most practi- cal of necessities if men and women are to become f ully human. Humanities Dr. Roy A. Riggs Head of Division of Humanities Head of Department of Literature Literature . . . in literature is recorded every thought, every vision, every fancy, every motion that has ever passed through the human mind.

Is there any better way of learning what men ore, so for as it con be learned from books and not from meeting human beings; and, however good our opportunities of meeting them, a lifetime of human contacts could not give us as wide on experience of human nature as literature can give.
