Show Encompassing the areas of chemistry, geology, geography, physics, mathematics, photography, and engineering, the Physical Science Division has the greatest number of majors in college. "Our division," says Mr. Merlin L. Stevenson, chairman, "as far as student clock hours are concerned, is one of the two largest." In 1940 there were 300,000 engineers in the United States and as of 1958 the number was 850,000. Since 1930 the Department of Labor reports a population increase of 40 per cent while the number of scientists increased by 500 per cent. "The main problem in the immediate future is to maintain the standard of quality that Weber has maintained before. Our purpose is to aid students to make a life as well as a living."

SOCIAL SCIENCE Social Science . . . the whole world at their finger-tips. Dello D. Dayton Merle E. Allen Harold Bateman James B. Harvey All activities of the Social Science Division are aimed at the big changeover to the four-year program, according to Dr. Dello G. Dayton, chairman. This year's program included field trips, and authoritative guest speakers, whose discussions of subjects pertinent to current history were of special importance during the national elections; thus, young Americans experienced an increased enthusiasm and zeal for sound government. One basic motive being energetically pursued in social sciences is the preparation of the student for a life as a helpful, contributing citizen. This pursuit will be considerably extended in the enlarged program; it will cover in a more comprehensive way the bases upon which Democracy stands, as related to the developments and contributions of various ancient and modern cultures. The ever vital focus will continue to be upon the present, the future. Charles Moore Jennings G. Olson Walter Neville Royland Unlander |
