The various depart- ments in Weber’s Humanities Division are designed to maintain this correlation and aid in stabilizing our civilization: The Department of General Education for the Humanities is a helpful provision for the general student.

Vocal ensemble such as the Musette receive classroom instruction in addi- tion to opportunities to perform at various civic and campus functions.

Part of this culture can be classified as necessary advancement, and part as development in the area of self-expression. Since there must be a medium of expression for every man. the paths these modes of thought choose to take often bring enjoyment, not only to the expressive being, but also to those around him. It is through our appreciation of great works of art that we give deserved atten- tion to the works of our fellow men. Dramatic students receive practical experience by performing role in college theater productions such as The Shrike. An education includes learning to appreciate the artistic expressions of others--and learning to express one’s self.
