Dolio D. D-ayfon Morio E. Alton Horold Bolomon Jomot B. Horvoy All activities of the Social Science Division are aimed at the big changeover to the four-year program, according to Dr. Dello G. Dayton, chairman. This year's program included field trips, and authoritative guest speakers, whose discussions of subjects pertinent to cur- rent history were of special importance during the national elec- tions; thus, young Americans experienced an increased enthusiasm and zeal for sound government. One basic motive being energetically pursued in social sciences is the preparation of the student for a life as a helpful, contributing citizen. This pursuit will be considerably extended in the enlarged program; it will cover in a more comprehensive way the bases upon which Democracy stands, as related to the developments and contributions of various ancient and modern cultures. The ever vital focus will continue to be upon the present, the future. Chtrloi Moor Jonning» G. Olion Walter Nowill Roybrd Uilortdor u

 Encompassing the areas of chemistry, geology, geography, physics, mathematics, photography, and engineering, the Physical Science Division has the greatest number of majors in college. Our division, says Mr. Merlin L. Stevenson, chairman, as far as student clock hours are concerned, is one of the two largest. In 1940 there were 300,000 engineers in the United States and as of 1958 the number was 350,000. Since 1930 the Depart- ment of Labor reports a population increase of 40 per cent while the number of scientists increased by 500 per cent. The main problem in the immediate future is to maintain the standard of quality that Weber has maintained before. Our purpose is to aid students to make a life as well as a living.

The Grecian ideal of the sound body for the sound mind summarizes the basic aim of the four-year program in the Physi- cal Education Division, points out Dr. Reed K. Swenson, chairman. The magnificent new gymnasium now under construction, to- gether with spacious playing fields adjoining, will be the spring- board to this enlarged program. The thoroughly modern conveniences afforded in a bigger, newer gymnasium will offer the students a physical challenge and an opportunity to develop mental and muscular tone in stimulating menti-motor activities. Since majors in highly academic areas, such as history and engineering, sometimes lose sight of the significance of satisfying and essential health requirements, due to their intense pursuit of specialized knowledge, they will find it convenient to attain physical development and relaxation from the tensions which such a strenuous curriculum can produce when the new gymnasium is completed, and now.
