Fulfilling the great demand for good teach- ers and future leaders brings the Education- Psychology Division onto the stage of Wart- burg ' s curriculum. This division consists of the Education, Psychology and Library De- partments. Under the leadership of Dr. Her- bert J. Max, this division provides profes- sional education for teachers and familiarizes other professional students with the current educational ideas and functions of public and parochial schools. MISS LOHN finds the library an appropriate place to hold her library science class. The Education Department instructs Wart- burg ' s future teachers in the modern methods and techniques of teaching. Wartburg students are given the opportunity to apply their knowl- edge and ability in teaching the P ' s and Q ' s to the children in the public elementary and high schools as well as Christian day schools in the vicinity of Wartburg College. The Library Department has become the hub of all departments by providing the key to all knowledge to whoever seeks it. IT GOES like this, ' explains LeRoy Oberlander to Emil Kuebler during a practice session for visual aids.

Pointing its students to the future, this division hopes to give a fundamental knowl- edge of physical problems that will raise questions leading the students to go forward in their own research. With another successful year recorded, the men of physical sciences still do not rest. Per- haps their path is the key to tomorrow.

It was the year 1207. The scene: a medieval castle in the rugged terrain of the Thuringian countryside of Germany. The courtyards of the castle are filled with musicians, actors, artists of all sort, for this is the Wartburg Castle, and it is the time of the famous Saen- gerkrieg or minstrel contest. The arts fill the air. The year was 1956. The scene: the Wart- burg again. Only this time it was Wartburg College. No Saengerkrieg this time, but rather a music and art festival marking the dedica- tion of the new Fine Arts Center at Wartburg. This was only one facet of the activity of the Fine Arts Division this year. Drama filled the stage of the Little Theater, accompanied us. ; McPhail. Mus.
