BIOLOGY CHEMISTRY The Biology Department, headed by Dr. Leonard, offers courses of value to students of any major. To those majoring in fields other than Biology, courses such as botany and zoology give the student a good background in these natural sciences. Students of biology are offered a wide range of courses designed to give training in careful and accurate observations, to give insight into tlie fundamental laws of life and to familiarize the students with many of the common aspects of nature. The Chemistry Department under the leadership of Professor Patterson offers to the students studying in it a general view of the field and to those students specializing in this field a detailed study of the vari- ous aspects of chemistry. The course of study in the department involves both theoretical and practical work. Dr. George C. S. Adams Prof. C. W. Braxcu Prof. Fred T. Adams Prof. S. S. Britt, Jr. Prof. W. R. Bourne Prof. A. J.

The Faculty The responsibility of teaching is no trifle and in college a great deal of learning takes place under the guidance of the professor. He tries to enlighten his students about his subject through the more com- plete understanding he has of the subject. But more valuable than any particular subject is what the professor teaches the student about him- self, for that ' s what really helps a person grow into maturity. At Wofford it is in this distinguished faculty that scholarly edu- cation has its life. We gratefully acknowledge our debt to these men. 26

Colloms ECONOMICS, BUSINESS EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION AND PSYCHOLOGY The Economics and Business Administration De- partment tries to give the student of business an understanding of the organization and underlying principles of the economic life. The department, under the direction of Dr. Kenadjian, also offers many advance courses which further acquaint the student with the problems and principles involved in banking, public finance, marketing, business law, and international trade. At various times in the year stu- dents are taken on trips to banks and industries to get a first hand view of the things that they have been studying. In this department the student has a fine opportunity to prepare to take his place in the business world and in the administrative field. The Department of Education and Psychology, headed by Professor Britt, serves a two-fold purpose. The education courses are designed to give the stu- dent seeking a profession in public school teaching, a strong background in techniques of teaching, and the various theories behind the public school cur- riculum. Education courses are also valuable them- selves to those preparing for educational work m churches, social work, and college teaching. Courses in psychology offer the students an oppor- tunity to familiarize themselves with the principles of psychology, and the application of those prin- ciples to daily living. The study of psychology is also valuable to the student preparing himself for teach- ing, law, medicine, the ministry, and social work. 28
