WALLULAI'l FORREST W. GAW MRS. FRANK D. LEAMER NELSON S. SAVAGE Department of Music HE music department endeavors to bring to the students of Willamette the best in instruction and musical traditions. Each teacher has studied with the most celebrated masters of his time and is glad to pass on to his pupils the great laws and principles governing the art of music. The composer, Adolf jensen, said: Work with all its consequences is one of the most exalted pleasures, and the music faculty wishes to recom- mend this bit of wisdom to all music students, for no principle or tradition can be assimilated without great labor. -FORREST W. GAW Registrar The chief concern of the registrar is to see that everyone turns in the right report at the right moment. The absent-minded professor who timed his egg and boiled his watch, if he does not now have a brother teaching at Willam- ette, at least has sent several sons who are following in their father's foot- steps. The naive reasons for late excuses are at once the bane and the amusement of the registrars life. Keeping records that tell the story of a students growth is in itself in- teresting, but even more than that the opportunity to know every one of the five hundred students who come to Willamette makes the office an inspiration and delight. -MRS. FRANK D. LEAMER ' Business Secretary All payments on Forward Movement pledges and payments from the General Education Board on their gift of three hundred Fifty thousand dollars are received here and forwarded to our endowment committee to be invested and added to permanent endowment. Here the students pay all University bills, endowment income is received from the committee in charge of this fund, and monthly checks covering our apportionment come from the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Many high school and college teacher: and laboratory research workers have been trained here. JAMES T. MATT!--iEws, A.M. Biology ln a sense it may bc said that the primary purpose of the cle- partment of Biology is the same as that of every other depart- ment, that is, to integrate itself with the rest in such a way as to produce a symmetrical whole which is called a College of Liberal! Arts. More particularly, it aims to fit all of its students to meet intelligently many practical problems of every-day life, and to prepare some for professional courses. '-lVlOR'I'ON E. PECK, ANI. A H islory The chief aim of the history instruction is to lead students to think and with this end in view to stress the causes and results of the events of history. If one understands the causes and re- sults of the happenings of the past, hc can better analyze and understand the events of the present. -GEORGE H. ALDEN, PH.D Philosophy and Psychology The aims of the department ol philosophy and psychology are three. Philsosophy's First intention is to point out principles common to major human interests: second, the synthesis and organization of the sciences. Psychology purposes an under- standing of human nature: more especially those phases of mind motivating the interests and institutions of mcn. -'CHARLES L. SHERMAN, PHD., PD. D. 20
