Show Division of Humanities Leland H. Monson, Chairman The Division of Humanities brings the student into close touch with courses which sustain and develop the best in mankind. An interpretation of life experiences through artistic media contributes toward preparing the students to live effectively in a democratic society. In building our new America, science and culture must move in concert. Science must initiate the technological advances; the Humanities must help guide man's use of technology. For the purpose of administering the humanistic studies which are designed to stabilize our civilization, the Division of Humanities is separated into the following departments or areas of knowledge: English Language, Literature, and Speech; Art; Foreign Languages; Music, and Theatre Arts. It is recommended that a student majoring in this division who presents for entrance less than the equivalent of twenty-five quarter hours of one foreign language study a language in college until he has earned a minimum of twenty-five quarter hours.

Woodfield The courses in the Department of General Education in the Humanities have been designed to replace the more specialized preparatory courses in special subject fields. The General Education courses are planned with the concept in mind that the Humanities contribute toward better living for all students. The courses aim to help students gain an appreciation of the culture of the world through the media of art, literature, music, and theatre arts. Students can fill the Humanities group requirements by taking nine hours in either of two groups, (1) designated courses in literature, art, music, or theatre arts, three hours of which must be in literature, or (2) the integrated sequence Humanities 1, Humanities 2> Humanities 3. A student may also select three additional hours or a total of 12 hours to apply on the forty-hour group requirement ni the four fields of Humanities, Social Sciences, Life Sciences, and Physical Sciences. *• Humanities.
