MR. BREINAN RABBI MINCHENBERG SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies department includes a wide variety of courses designed to provide the student with an awareness of the world around him. An elementary course in civics and world geography is taught in the freshman year and the sophomore social studies program is com- posed of a straightforward world history course. In the junior and senior years, the student is exposed to far more comprehensive studies in American history, United States foreign policy, and economics. Supplementary readings in works by Hofstadter, Stone and other noted historians have become an integral part of the syllabus. Open discussions and informal debates give students the opportunity to form and express their own opinions on historical controversies and current affairs. By the time seniors have completed their last year they have gained a vast knowledge of the workings of modern'day politics and economics. Missing: MR. ARONSON MR. LANDSDORF MR. WOLLMAN MR. ALLEN N!

Headed by the eminent author and scientist, Dr. Emanuel Frankel, the science program includes four years of courses in the basic sciences. A major change in ,the science program took place in 1965 when earth science was substituted for the general science course previously offered to freshmen. This improve- ment allows for a maximum science background with a minimum of overlap through the four years. A course in modern biology is given in the sophomore year. This course includes the most up-to-date textbooks and an Honors Class for qualified students. Upperclassmen are offered optional courses in chemistry and physics designed to stimulate and prepare Yeshiva boys for further studies in those fields. The physics course, open to seniors only, is made especially interesting and challenging through the excel- lent facilities of Yeshiva Colleges physics lab and demonstration room. In past years, students have been encouraged to attend summer science programs sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Those fortunate enough to be accepted to such a program have always returned thoroughly pleased and indebted to their science mentors. Sf' A 534 , 4534 E MR. ARONSTEIN MR. FINKELSTEIN MR. WEPNER
