German, Latin first languages offered The Department of Foreign Languages has been a part of Eastern since it frrst opened its doors in 1899. Initially offering only German and Latin, Foreign Languages now boasts a $60,000 language laboratory, a program for summer study abroad, and degrees in Latin, German, French, Spanish and Russian. Under the direction of Martin M. Meiss, 15 staff members are now working on improvements for the department by introducing a number of new courses and the acquisition of a new language lab. The lab plans are awaiting the governor's approval. The new courses the department will be offering include Historical Linguistics, Twentieth Century Russian Literature in Translation and beginning courses in Conversational French, German, Russian and Spanish. German was dropped from the curriculum after World War I due to the country's feelings against the Germans, but was reinstated in 1926. French was added in by 1918 followed by Spanish in 1941 and finally Russian in 1960. An M.A. program in both French and Spanish was offered from 1968 to 1972, but was dropped because of the low enrollment, financial extingency and weakening of the language requirements. When Miess joined the staff in 1956, many changes were made. He instituted the foreign studies program in 1960, and since then about 10 students have taken advantage of it annually. Although Eastern does not make direct con tact with foreign countries for students, they make contact with another school in the United States which then makes arrangements for a student to spend the summer studying in Mexico, France, Germany,Spain, Canada and other countries. The department picked up rts 66-year-old roots at Old Main in 1965 and moved to Coleman Hall, where it is presently located.

Girls' PE--from Pemberton to McAfee Since 1899 the Women's Physical Education Department has had a history of moving around Eastern. It began in the south wing of Pemberto n Hall, at which time it was known as the "Crackerbox." It occupied this position until it moved to the " Health Education" Building, later known as Lantz Gymnasium, and finally called McAfee Gymnasium, after the Lantz Physical Education Building was built in 1968. A four-year girl's physical education program was required for many years in all degrees and was gradually decreased until 1972, when the Board of Higher Education pressured this school into making physical education an elective. The Physical Education Department began offering a minor degree for women in 1938, and in 1942 a major was added to the curriculum, and fmally a graduate program was added in the middle 1950's. The coming year holds change in store for the department as it will combine with the Department of Physical Education for Men, making it possible to administer a better structured professional program for both men and women.

~Physical culture' courses begin in 1902 The "Normal School" had no arrangements for physical education when classes began in 1899. The 1902 catalog for the Hrst time listed "physical culture" but the courses were limited to girls. No regularly organized physical education for men was he ld until the coming of Charles Perry Lantz in 1911. The Pemberton Hall gymnasium was completed in 1909. A sound beginning had been made in football and basketball by 1899 and 1911 respectively. The first physical ed~cation courses for men taught by Lantz consisted of games, calisthenics and apparatus work. As enrollment grew it became necessary to increase the number of classes. The new health building (formerly Lantz, now McAfee) was com- • - 4 - . ~ ... .... pleted in 1938. During World War II the number of men in college dropped to 35 and the building was practically empty during most of those days. Also in 1938, this was the first y ear a man could get a degree in physical education. The new Lantz complex, one of the finest small college facilities for physical education, recreation, health and athle tics was dedicated in 1966. The staff consists of 32 men with the enrollment in the men's classes up to 2,600 per semester including 400 majors and graduate students. During the fall the men and women merge their department under one chairman. Men's Physical Education, row one, left to right: Walter Elmore , William Buckellew, Dept.

Health Department now offers • a maJor This was the first year at Eastern that a major in Health Education was offered. Up to this time a student could only obtain a minor in Health Education. Programs offered in the department consist of a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Health Education. The major focuses upon major healthJroblems of contemporary society and the essential knowledge an skills basic to the discipline of health education. Emphasis is placed upon dynamic social forces and technological advances and how they affect the quality of life. A minor in Health Education and in Safety and Driver Education are also offered by the Health Department. The Safety and Driver Education minor offered includes preparation in the most recent methods in Drivers Education including multi-phase Driver Education. The Health Education Department was originally located in the old Lantz Building (now McAfee) back in 1939. Since that time they have changed location with the building of the new present Lantz Building in 1966. The Department of Health Education presently houses a staff of 10 faculty members and are planning to hire an additional staff member next year.

History faculty publish many articles The History Department's roots extend back to the day when Eastern first opened its doors. Henry Johnson was among the first faculty who came to Eastern with President Livingston C. Lord. After studying at Columbia University and in Europe, Johnson was given a joint appointment to Columbia University and Columbia Teacher's College. Johnson's book, The Teaching of History, was used for generations by students and has become a classic. In 1906, Simeon Thomas, who had studied at Harvard under the great classical historians, joined the faculty. In the late 1920's, Charles H. Coleman and Glenn Seymour became staff members. Along with Thomas, they dominated the affairs of the History Department for several years, since at that rime there were no deans or department heads. Coleman, the namesake of Coleman Hall, wrote several books and articles dealing primarily with the Civil War period. Donald Rhodes AI ter joined the staff in 19 34 and four years later William Woods became a member. In 1942, Thomas retired after providing years of leadership in the department. The History Department grew rapidly after World War II and became a separate department from Social Science in 1961. Rex Syndergaard became the first chairman and was succeeded by Wolfgang Schlauch, the current chairman, in 1970. The publications of the faculty have been impressive and their influence as teachers has been demonstrated by the fact that many graduates have received doctorates and are now teaching at other colleges. The members of the History Department have been involved in many scholarly and professional activities, including President Gilbert Fite's election as President of the Southern Historical Association and the publication of articles by several staff members.

Home Ec offers seven program options Home Economics courses were first offered at Eastern in 1913, although a degree program did not become available until 1920. A new building, then called the Practical Arts building and now used for Student Services Personnel, was authorized in 1925 to house manual arts and home economics. The building was completed in 1929 and was used until1967, at which time new facilities were again provided. The Home Economics Department grew slowly after 1948 at which time the program employed a staff of four teachers and enrolled 88 majors. Until 1965, 10-20 seniors was the average number in the graduating class. Within the past 10 years, however, the department has grown enormously. This growth is evident in the change from offering only one program that was taught by five instructors with approximately 70 students, to a School of Home Economics with seven undergraduate program options, 18 faculty members and a Masters Degree program serving about 400 majors. The quality of the Home Economics program here at Eastern was acknowledged in 1972 when the School of Home Economics became the first school in the nation to be accredited by the National Commission on Accreditation . Home Economics majors in education student teach for only half of a semester. They spend the other half of the semester obtaining practical experience wi_th on-the-job training in their area of concentration. They work in such places as fabrics shops and dietary kitchens in hospitals. In 1973, a new program was introduced for majors in the Family Services. These majors now gain practical experience by working in nursing homes and mental retardation centers. Home Economic majors in Business have the option of working in the field of their major. For example, a major in clothing and merchandising could work in a clothing store or fabric shop.

Eastern offered Indus trial Arts • 10 1902 Last year 114 Industrial Arts majors and 67 Industrial Technology majors graduated from Eastern. These majors found job availability quite adequate in their field. Industrial Arts was first initiated at Eastern as Manual Training in 1902 under the direction of Miss Carolina Forbes who served in this capacity until1913. That same year the Manual Training classes moved to the new Model School building and courses in woodworking, mechanical drawing and lathe and pattern work were added. The department name was later changed to Manual Arts. In 1916 a separate Manual Arts building was erected south of the heating plant where manual arts classes were held until a new building was completed in 1929, when the first degree was awarded. The Industrial Arts Club was founded in 1932 and one year later the Epsilon Pi Tau honorary fraternity was founded. During the 1964-65 school year, the program for industrial technology was approved. In September of 1966, the first students were enrolled in the new program. Industrial Arts and Industrial Technology are now located in the Applied Arts-Education Building. The building offers teachers teaching therein a pleasant environment, adequate working space, more teaching stations and much new teaching equipment. Class sizes have been increased to 20-24 students. Left to right : C.E. Stand berg, Robert Sonderman, Dept. Head; Brian Shuster, Raymond G riffin, Howard Nelms, Ewell Fowler.

Zoo teachers start research projects Until 1920 when a four-year-course program leading to a degree was introduced, there had been no zoology department as such at Eastern. At that time, the faculty consisted of three members who taught biological sciences, including hygiene. One of these, Charles S. Spooner, became Head of the Zoology Department and served in this capacity until 194 7, at which time he was forced to retire due to ill health. Walter M. Scruggs succeeded Spooner and remained department head through the school year of 1962-63, when he became Director of the Life Science Division. Garland Riegel then took over as department head in the fall of f963 . . The staff members of the Zoology Department are pursuing research projects in addition to trying to maintain high quality instructional programs at undergraduate and masters levels. This research includes studies of turtles, animal parasites and white tailed deer. Zoo logy left to right: Garland T . Riegle, Dept.

Math Department celebrates 75th year Having more than 225 majors, the Mathematics Department prepares students for professions in teaching, industry, computer science and graduate school. The development of the Mathematics Department has involved many people,. but two persons stand out in the past 7 5 years. The first 46 years of mathematics at Eastern revolved around the teaching, philosophy and leadership of Edson Homer Taylor. For the last 27 years the academic affairs of the department have been highlighted by the publication and teaching endeavors of Lawrence Ringen berg. In 1900 Taylor published his first book on the Philosophy of Mathematics. From 1910 to 1946 E.H. Taylor was Mr. Mathematics at Eastern. Taylor was a student of mathematics in the highest sense, and his greatest joys were to observe, to guide, and to encourage students in his classes. In the days before innovative curricular efforts, Taylor published a text book series (1922) which integrated algebra and arithmetic in grades 7-9. His efforts pre-dated national efforts by 35 years. His work to improve teacher training continued through four editions of Arithmetic for Teacher Training Classes. He coauthored a college geometry text which was used nationally in the training of secondary teachers. The educational research work of Gertrude Hendrix bridged the Taylor and Ringenberg years. Her work on how students learn and non-verbal learning brought due recognition to Eastern and Miss Hendrix' contributions helped to the rise of the "new math" in Illinois. Beginning with the Portrait of 2 and continuing with a Portrait of the Square Root of 2, Lawrence Ringenberg guided mathematic~ from a post calculus curriculum to a master's graduate program. The only change that has not happened to the Mathematics De· partment in the past 75 years is their location; it can still be founc in Old Main .

Music changes into Department of Arts The end of this school year also brought an end to the School of Music. It will no longer be considered the School of Music, but rather a Music Department in the Fine Arts, along with the Art and Theatre Departments. This will make it easier to interelate the Arts. The department has a total of 234 majors that support 12 performing groups: Marching Band, Symphony Orchestra, String Band, Pep Bands, Jazz Bands, Symphony Winds, Concert Band, String Orchestra, Chamber Singers, Concert Choir and Cecilian Singers. In 1899, Frederick Koch took charge of the Musical activities at the Eastern Illinois Normal School. By 1913 a Music Department was established, however, there was neither a band nor orchestra during this period. In 1940 Leo J. Dvorka was appointed the department head, he also directed the Mixed Chorus until 1943. During his tenure in office the construction of the Fine Arts Center took place, the cornerstone being laid in 1958. Although the terminology Fine Art Center was adopted, the Theatre and Art Departments were separate from the Music Department, but as of next year all three departments will be under the same title of Fine Arts Departments.

Chemistry, Physics--unsolved equations The first chemistry courses were taught by Albert Crawe in 1902. At that time he was the only physical science teacher. In 19 31 Harris Phipps joined the staff and was instrumental in developing to Chemistry Department. Phipps became the department head in 1936 and remained as head until he retired in 1967. He was instrumental in getting a four year degree program in 1934 and in the designing of the Science Building. The Phipps Lecture Hall in the Science Building was named in his honor in March of 1973. A Vick Bowyer Physics [hvid Chandler Chemistry William M.

It took 30 years since then to obtain a master's degree program here at Eastern. At present there are an average of eight to 12 full time graduate students. Over the past five years, the number of Chemistry majors has varied from about 65 to 110. The number of students receiving BS degrees has been from 10 to 20. The present department head is Sidney R.

Sociology has new Revising the sociology major, the Sociology-Anthropology Department this year offers a new five-option program for its Sociology majors. Instead of having a general studies in Sociology, a student can now go into a specific field in Sociology. The five options are General Studies in Sociology, Community Services, Community Analysis,.CriminalJustice and Anthropology. It also offers a Sociology major with high school teaching certification. The Sociology-Anthropology Department first became a department in 1962; up to that time it was under the Social Science Defive-option program partment. The Sociology major itself has becoming increasingly popular in the past six years; in 1968 there were 64 majors as compared to today with a toal of 169 majors in Sociology. Out of this 169 majors only 12 are in Education. The department has a present staff of 13 teachers who are presently working on getting a masters program for the fall of 1974, after having the first masters program suspended in the 1971-1972 school year. If the masters program goes through there will also be a five option program for the masters of art degree.

Department of Economics begins in 1965 The Department of Economics became operative in July of 1965 with five faculty members. Since then it has grown to 11 faculty members. In 1968 the master of arts degree in Economics was approved and put into effect. Kappa Chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon (International Honor Society in Economics) was founded on the Eastern campus in 1970. Planned activities of Omicron Delta Epsilon include sending a delegation to the convention and an initiation banquet including a prominent speaker.

Geography--one of first departments here The Geography Department was one of the first departments at Eastern, offering a program in 1899 under the professorship of J. Paul Goode. Since Eastern did not begin a degree program until 1922, the Geography Department did not graduate a minor until 1928 and a major until 1929. The first masters degree in Geography was given in 19 52 and was one of the first three to be given at Eastern. The department was dominated by "three grand ladies of geography"--Annie Laurie Weller, Ruby Harris and Rose Zeller. Ms. Weller taught from 1903 until 1940, Ms. Harris from 1923-56 and Ms. Zeller from 1930-56, representing almost a century of service to the Geography Department. The Geography Department grew steadily throughout the 1960's, and in 1967 the department was changed to the Department of Geography and Geology. Through new courses, new programs and additional faculty , the department has reached its present status. Geography , Row 1, left to right: Walter McDonald, Dalias Price, Mary Jo Read.

Political Science begins new internship Even though the total number of students attending Eastrrn has decreased, the number of students studying Political Science has increased. Currently there are 250 majors with only 50 of these majors being in education. The rest of the majors usually go into Law School or government work. The department got its start back in 1962 when it was under the Social Science Department and no actual Political Science was offered. This year the department started a new internship program. A student can earn 15 hours credit by gaining a semester's experience as an intern in a governmental agency, private interest agency, political party organization and state or national student organization.

The staff has grown from its original two members to its present 19-member staff. Since its start eight years ago, the number of majors in Psychology has grown tremendously, reaching a total of 300 majors with 40 graduate students. Today most of the students majoring in Psychology are working on a bachelor of science degree in Education rather than a bachelor of arts degree.

Theatre Arts, Speech separated in 1964 Theatre Arts was part of the Speech Department in 1947 when E.G. Gabbard was employed as the entire Theatre staff. Ten years later, a scene designer/technical director was hired, and in 1962, a costumer joined the staff. The Speech Department split into three departments in 1964--Speech Pathology, Speech and Theatre Arts. Oral Interpretation came under the Theatre Department, making it a six-man staff. Plays were performed in McAfee Gym for many years until the Fine Arts Center was opened in 1959. At that time, Theatre Arts shared the 414 seat-theatre with the Music Department. With the completion of the addition to the Fine Arts Center in 1973, the theatre is now used solely for theatrical productions. A.

In addition, innumerable one-act plays have been seen. Speech Communications, formerly the Speech Department, has had a slight increase in its number of majors over the past few years. Fifty per cent of the speech majors have entered the teachers education program and the other 50 per cent are involved in one of three areas--Management, Public Relations, or Professional Broadcasting. In an attempt to emphasize mass communications, two staff members were added, raising the total to 17 faculty members in the department.

They realize they have made it half way through, but do not forget that they still have two years left to go. College becomes more meaningful to the juniors as they realize they are closer to real life. Remembering that in just two years they will be facing the outside world , their tasks as a student become more serious. Juniors engage more in academic organizations and honoraries in an attempt to make their credentials more attractive for future job opportunities. Many of the 1,883 juniors registered for fall semester have the opportunity to leave the dorms and move off campus. Some of them find that off-campus living measures up to their expectations and other juniors become disheartened and move back into the dorms spring semester.
