Show Social Science MEANINGLESS dates become significant under the tutelage of this department. People walk out of the dullness of the pages and become flesh and blood, with problems as vital as ours of today are to us. Once becoming real, these figures of the past make us desire to understand them. Thus history becomes vital. Contemporary problems of finance, of commerce, of industry, are brought concretely to the fore. They become, under careful guidance, not wordy theories, but real, living truths applicable to modern life. Economics, political science, and sociology form the background upon which one can build a superstructure of truths which one encounters daily. SHOWERED with mellow sunshine and refreshed by the quiet breeze among the leaves of the two gnarled trees, the Gymnasium is the realization of many dreams, the tangible evidence of a love of health and beauty instilled into student hearts. But love of mind control and intelligence are also expressed. These types of truth are symbolized in a youthful bronze figure standing in an alcove high on the college front. Through two great windows on each side, the warm morning sunlight filters into the library, dancing upon the polished tables, before the rows of heavy volumes and over the wicker ferneries. English Language and Literature MISLEAD by its power and inspired by its beauty, all great artists and devotees of literature have loved language. All of us, in one way or another, are vassals of the written word. It forms our opinions, unlocks the doors to "King's Treasuries," and, in general, acts as an inconspicuous, but no less potent, guide through life. How important, then, to understand the proper use and composition of English! In the classes of Marian T. Read the inspiration and material necessary for these achievements is found in affluence. During the autumn quarter the work centered in orientation towards goals, professional and cultural. Craftsmanship, the quality stressed in creative writing during the winter season, was continued throughout the spring quarter in advanced expository writing, which emphasized particularly the processes of definition and analysis. MARIAN T. READ The spirit of service, of comradeship, of adventurous curiosity that animates the personality of a suc-cessful teacher, distinctively characterizes Miss Read. "There is always present about her an atmosphere of culture", "She inspires a student to want to become somebody", No worrying about that teacher's mood from day to day!", COOL, green lawn, fragrant shrubs, and tall, majestic trees have mellowed the cold red brick below the bronze monument into a friendly strength. Overhead the brilliant blue sky, flecked with snowy clouds, gives promise of a fine day, while gaiety and anticipation combine pleasingly with a certain quiet dig- nity to give fair promise of a successful year. It will be one which will live forever as a beautiful memory in the lives of many of the students. Enjoying the cool delights of the broad green campus they will learn to love the old College build-ing and the Grecian splendor of the Gymnasium. |
