The Home Economics Department of Wliittier Col- lege offers practical laboratory experience as well as theoretical discussion, and it offers a complete pre- paratory curriculum prescribed by the American Dietetics Association. Courses are offered in textiles and clothing, foods and nutrition, design, home management and furnishing, and in child care and educational methods of home economics. The depart- ment is continually revising its curriculum to keep in pace with current advancements in the field. Courses are offered to train teachers for our secondary schools and positions in other fields of home economics. Whatever it is, it must be fun

Dr. Harry Nerhood PROVIDING A BACKGROUND FOR UNDER- STANDING TODAY'S WORLD is one of the deepest obligations that is felt by the instructors in the History Department of Whittier College. Familiar to all are Happy Harryl' and Dr. Merrill who have so graciously guided us through our first two years. Western, British, and American Civilization are courses that they have gauged to prepare the non-majoring students for life in today's world. Dr. Iohn A. Schutz, while not so familiar to the non-majoring student, is a valuable member of the staff as he is active in the publishing of the Pacific His- torical Review, a magazine devoted to research in history. For the history major, there is a constant program for preparation for graduate study. With this in mind it remains ever present that the task of the department to teach an understanding of the causes, solutions, and effects world crises and conflicts have on our lives.

The department boasts of students that are so well trained in the field that they will even take them back as instructors. A typical example is the recent addition to the staff of Robert Laskey. The aim of the department is to attempt to provide a thorough use of the techniques of the scientific method in order to prepare the student for future re- search. The asset of the Mathematics Department is the continual attempt to keep the classes small so that then there is a strong student-instructor contact. Working in close contact with Mathematics is Physics as it is so ably taught by the department. Dr. David F. Bender has increased the value of the department by participating in such activities as the Institute of Dy- namical Astronomy at Yale University. MA?
