OPERA DRAMA 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 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 that will bring countless blessings to mankind. The Humanities, by training the emotions, can direct man's use of this technological progress. 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; and Music. It is recommended that a student majoring in this division who presents for entrance less than the equivalent of twenty-five quarter hours in one foreign language pursue such language in college until he has earned a minimum of twenty-five quarter hours.
