Ilivisiou of IRIIIQIIIIIQIIB :mel l4ifl!I'3lfIlI'L Page 14 fx FRED L. FARLEY, Greek, Chairman This division comprises the departments of English and Modern Languages. It strives to give all college students some training in read- ing and writing their own and a foreign lang- uage and to instill in a few students some proficiency in their use. Nearly ninety students have taken as their major aim a deep apprecia- tion of the literature of their own or some for- eign nation. To these major students, and to others, the division has this year tried to open a vista upon the thoughts of those who have produced, or are producing, any intellectual achievement in the field of literature. Division V efforts are towards language perfection, litera- ture appreciation, and international sympathy. + Faculty: Abel Alarcon, Spanish, Marie L. Allen, Latin, Arthur Bonner, English, Marie L.

CORBIN, Mathematics, Chairman The division of Mathematics and Engineering strives to get at the essentials of an appropriate aducation of men and women as human beings as well as specialists in a particular field. The division believes in mathematics as a science and offers several courses in pure mathematics. The importance of applied mathematics is also realized and emphasis given it. One of these direct applications is found in the science of engineering, which has also developed a tech- nique of its own. This year twenty-three stu- dents are majoring in mathematics and thirty- seven in the department of engineering. Many of the world's problems will require these stu- dents to build suitable structures in order to make possible practical, efiicient and beautiful mechanisms which will harmonize and unify the general order of me- chanical progress. + Faculty: Howard G.
