ACADEMIC Social Science - Mathematics - Philosophy - English - Foreign Languages Certain departments, though difficult to present pictorially, are actually the backbone of Fresno State College. These departments deal with the liberal arts and the humanities. They give meaning to the more specialized and occupational departments of instruction. They prevent the more immediate ends of education from obliterating both the means of, and the reasons for, education. Social S cience kJAJORS in social science, history, economics, political science, crimin- '"■ology, and sociology-anthropology are offered by the Social Science Department, which has been headed by Emory Ratcliffe since 1915. Comprehensive curricula in these fields form much of the basis of the liberal education given at Fresno State College. Every student in the College takes at least 12 units of social science as well as courses in American history and the United States Constitution. The Criminology division, directed by William Dienstein, is the most recent addition to the department. Criminology majors, with one of the best college programs of study, are prepared for work in all fields related to the administration of justice. Some of these fields are police, probation, parole, prison, social work, school attendance, and laws. Students get practical training by doing actual traffic control in cooperation with the Fresno Police Department and other local and state agencies. Also, they have available for observation the only college lie-detector in the West. Since college criminology departments are the chief training medium for police work, wide opportunity for college trained personnel exists in this field. Mathematics THE Fresno State College Department of Mathematics provides the student with a well rounded background in mathematics. Under the direction of Dr. Frank R. Morris, the department offers a course of instruction to satisfy mathematics requirements in such major fields as Engineering and Physical Sciences, as well as a thorough program for students wishing to make mathematics their major or minor. For students majoring in this field, the department offers such courses as analytical, space, and projective geometry; differential and integral calculus; theory of equations; and differential equations. A background course in mathematical analysis of statistics is offered to students interested in statistical and observational data. To give students more personal assistance with their mathematical problems, the department provides a study room manned by department personnel. Students wishing to study astronomy find that the Mathematics Department offers valuable instruction in elementary astronomy, navigation, and constellation study. To provide practical training in this field, the department has, in addition to other astronomy equipment, two 4-inch telescopes.
