Mathematics The York Junior College Mathematics department offers to first- and second-year students a variety of courses designed to meet the needs of those who wish to terminate their mathematical education, as well as the students who will transfer to other colleges and continue mathematics. Under the lead- ership of h allatt B. Hammatt, head of the depart- ment, and Thomas McFadden, the young Einsteins proceed through a series of studies integrated to meet the Mathematical requirements of any institu- tion they might choose after leaving the junior college. Mathematics 101-102 are, respectively, college algebra and trigonometry. These courses are for liberal arts students. Mathematics 103-104 are offered for engineering students and science majors. The first covers both college algebra and trigonometry In one semester, while the second semester course, 104, Includes an Introduction to analytical geometry and integral calculus. Mathematics 201-202 continues and completes the analytical geometry and calculus begun In the 104 course. Mathematics 105-106 was established this year for majors In economics and accounting. It features business theory, banking practices, Interest and de- preciation and similar subjects of Importance to aspiring Rockefellers.

FRENCH • SPANISH • GERMAN Hilde Jaeckel University of Geneva, Switzerland University of Breslau, Germany, Ph.D. Head of Modern Language Department A. Reginald Fink Pennsylvania State College, A.I Spanish The purpose of the foreign language department, v hich includes French, German, Spanish, Latin and Greek, is not only to give the students a knowledge of the lan- guage, but of the peoples and their cultural background as well. This goal Is accom- plished through supplementary reading and movies in the respective languages. There are other worlds to explore through the medium of the literature of these countries. Many of the artistic values of the literature are lost in translation. In the world as it Is now, language barriers must be erased. In teaching the students reading and conversation, the language department hopes to increase their under- standing of the peoples of these countries. 17

TRIGONOMETRY • ENGINEERING DRAWING John M. Cavanaugh Kutztown State Teachers ' College, B.S. Columbia University, M.A. Engineering Drawing Engineering drawing is another means of expression which could be compared to music and the arts. People often have excellent ideas, but they experience difficulty in getting these ideas across to others. Drawing is a definite and a clearcut way to show these ideas. An engineer must have drawing to teach him to put an idea into concrete form. One main division of Engineering drawing is Descriptive Geometry. This subject aids in the development of imagination which is quite essential to competent engineers. An old expression which refers to drawing states that, Drawing is the language of industry. However, the new concept is, Drawing is the language of creation.
