History and Social Science Not the compilation of volumes of soon-to-be-forgotten dates nor the listing of endless figures and statistics is pur- posed by the History and Social Science Departments. Rather, in a world that by technological improvement and economic interests has become surprisingly small, and in an era when nations are interdependent upon each other, it 1s the effort of this department to stimulate toward a health- ful world view, students who, in a sense, are citizens of the world. If a conception of our rich heritage finds a place in the mind of the student; if the significance of social, eco- nomic, and political life of the centuries past are grasped and their weight in today’s world understood; if a careful evaluation of present-day conditions, thought, and trends is acquired by the student, then the department begins to feel that its aims and purposes are in the process of being , realized and that they will some day reach fruition.

The secretarial-science course has been ably conducted by Miss Reeby. To fill the vacancy caused by her resigna- tion has come Miss Koppin, a Wheaton alumna. Under the instruction of Mr. Jolley and two members of the de- partment, Miss Wagner and Miss Sloss, students have be- come acquainted with the important place of economics. Participating in the army program there were Mr. Lane and Dr. Cairns, the latter teaching history; the former, geography. European history, taught by Dr. Edman, has, as usual, attracted a large number of students. Conducting courses in American history are Dr. Tiffany and Miss Voget, who also teaches sociology. Dr. Moule presents the studies of British, church, and ancient history. With interests and the knowledge in the fields of political science, economics, sociology, and history Dr. Kamm 1s an inspirational teacher and a capable chairman of the department. Eart Winsor, A.M.
