hold before the student the ideal side
of life. which, in this practical age,
is in such grave danger of being for-
gotten, and to show him that Ideals
not only possess reality, but a dls-
tinctly practical value as well. In pnli-
osophy the attention of the student Is
called not only to the origin ana ue-
velopment of the main problems, put
also to their relations to the funda-
mental Christian teachings. In ethics
the effort is to make the work con-
structive rather than destructive. In
psychology, in accordance with the
modern tendency to separate TINS SUD
ject more and more from philosophy
and join it more and more closely WITH
the biological sciences, emphasis IS
placed on the structure and junction
of the nervous system anG sense
organs, and on an understanding OF
the elements and phases of conscious
ness. AS the method of instruction is
what has been termed 1.-The laboratory
method" a psychological laboratory is
being equipped which, it is hoped, Will
soon give opportunity for the most ad-
Vanced work. In aesthetics the ettort
is to put the student in touch with
the psychological principles governing
the artistic consciousness. The Pratt
reference library contains excellent
material for outside reading and fur
ther study on all the various philo-
sophie and psychologist questions. AT
least one years work in this depart
ment is required for graduation.
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
The department of physics utilizes a
large part of the first floor of the
Pearsons hall of rciencc, and is sup
piled with the apparatus for both lee
ture demonstration and laboratory
work. Of it's apparatus may be men

students.
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL CULTURE
The department of physical culture
provides separate instruction for men
and women, and work in this depart
inent is required throughout the fresh
n. an and sophomore years. The Ken
WiC gymnasium has floor space ana
apparatus for all kinds of class work
and indoor games, as well as lockers
and showers for the women. East of
the gymnasium, towards the athletic
field, lies the mems training quarters,
a commodious building divided into
two sections, each with it's own hot
and cold showers. Over two hundred
we'll ventilated lockers are at the dis
posal of the student body and the
members of the teams. Physical eX-
anlinations are required of all stu
dents, and all who desire to try for
the various teams must first get the
approval of the physical director. For
outdoor athletics the conditions could
hardly be excelled. Two diamonds for
