Business men from Gales- burg and Chicago are co-operating: The Fine Arts Club consists of stu- dents who are taking special or private work in Vocal Art, Expression or Pi- ano. Frequent recitals, by members of the club, are given and the club itself keeps in touch with the various artistic attractions that come to town. The Campus Players. This club is made up of students who have appeared in any school play. This year they have presented several groups of one-act plays. Debating and Oratory are important parts of Lombard student life. Prizes are offered for excellence in this work. Among these prizes are the Swan- Lawton oratory prizes of fifteen and ten dollars given annually for oratory and extemporaneous addresses; the Bullman debating prize offered annual- ly for excellence in debating; the Townsend Contest, two prizes offered annually for excellence in Expression and the Speech Arts. Summed up in a word, it may be said that Lombard's democratic spirit ex- presses itself most favorably through the strong and progressive activities among the students where no thought of click or fraternity enters, where each student seeks to get the most for himself, along the line of his chosen specialty, and at the same time to give to his fellow students more than he receives. 17 Illllllllllllllll!llllllllllllllllllllllll!lllllllllllllllininilllllll!lll!!llllllllllllllllilll!lllllllllll!llllli!llllllllllllllin FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES Three excellent fraternities and the same number of sororities have strong and progressive organizations at Lom- bard. The fraternities each owns a fine fraternity house, where they sleep, study, eat all their meals and have their recreation. It is the belief of Lombard that fraternal life is an important part of education. There is ample oppor- tunity for college spirit and interfra- ternity spirit when the men meet on the campus and in the halls or class rooms of any small college. The Phi Delta Theta frat house is a fine brick structure on the campus. The Sigma Nu house, a block away, is a thoroughly up-to-date residence, and the Tau Delta Theta have recently pur- chased a fine house directly opposite the athletic field. Each sorority has bungalows or apartments where they have their meet- ings, social functions and their initia- tions. These buildings are attractive quarters on or near the campus and whenever a party is announced by one of the sororities it is always a signal that a pleasant time is coming. The girls do not live in their sorority houses but are all happily quartered at Lom- bard Hall under a successful self-gov- ernment system. The Pi Beta Phi and the Alpha Xi Delta sororities own beautiful bunga- lows on the campus where their meet- ings and social events are held. The Delta Zeta girls occupy attractive quarters just a step away from the campus. UIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIN 18 Illllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll'lll VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE Lombard College is one of the first, and perhaps the only, small eollcgc that maintains a Bureau of Occupa- tional Guidance purely for the benefit of its students. This Bureau was or- ganized a year ago under a director who has made a careful study of this work and whose advice and judgment is excellent. Thus Lombard students have further opportunity of getting in touch with the faculty. The director assists them in so shaping their studies and courses as to best fit them to take up the work, after graduation, that they wish. "Finding a job" is the simplest part of the work, fcr Lombard has many more inquiries every year, for gradu- ates, than there are seniors to fill the positions. COMMUNITY SERVICE The war developed a form of service that had long been a study, but which required some such force to com- plete. Community Service is the nam of this new necessity, and progressive colleges to-day are offering courses that will prepare leaders and workers for this important field. The course Lombard offers is unique in that it prepares the student to take charge of a Recreational Center, to accept a position as Parish Assistant in , one of the large cosmopolitan churches, so many of which are now considering the community idea as a new duty. Withal the course prepares the student to accept leadership or ad- ministrative positions in any social, community work. Many towns, and counties are already asking for college graduates for this service and the Lombard files have now requests for such persons, prop- erly trained and equipped. ■iiififfffiiiitiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiirHiitiiiiiitiiMiiiiiiiiritiiiiiuiiiiiitiiifiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiittiiiiiiitiiuiiiftiiiiiiiitiitiHiiiitn 19 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIH SCHOOL OF THREE ARTS The Three Arts Department is a school for the serious study of Vocal Art, Piano and Theory of Music, Pub- lic School Music, and Expression. High standards are maintained, and the work is subject to the same regulations regarding attendance and examinations as for other courses in college. The faculty is composed of special- ists in their fields, who have added to professional study, much experience in teaching. Vocal Art The courses in Vocal Art are design- ed to fit the student for teaching in the higher schools and colleges, or for public work in recital, oratorio, or opera. A striking feature of the work is the well-organized system of tech- nique employed. Piano and Theory of Music The aim of the teachers of Piano is to develop the musician while instruct- ing the pianist. A two-year course in normal methods for piano teachers is offered leading to the Lombard College Piano Teacher's Certificate. Upon the successful completion of the Public School Music Course under direction of Jessie Glaze Strong, the student is recommended by the college to receive the Illinois State Music Teacher's Certificate. Expression and Dramatics The courses in The Speech Arts aim to develop a strong study of the drama and the improvement of the every-day speech of the student, preparing him for extemporaneous speaking, story telling, public speaking, and declama- tion. The "Campus Players" have pre- sented many excellent plays and sketches and is an important feature of the work. •itiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiifiiifiriiiiiiifiiiitHriiiiiiiiiiifittuiiuxiiiiitMfiffiiiiiiuitffiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifffeifinii 20 iiniiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iii'iiiii:iiiii!iiiiiiiiiii!iiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii HOME ECONOMICS The study of Home Economics is an indispensable part of every girl's edu- cation. It trains a girl so that she may live her life more intelligently as well as serve her community and eountry more effectively. The Home Economics department is a live and interesting part of Lom- bard. The food work is taught in a completely equipped cooking labora- tory; adjoining this is the dining room, with all the appointments of furnish- ings, in which the courses in meal plan- ning and serving are taught. The Sew- ing Courses — Textiles, Costume De- sign, Millinery and Dressmaking, are conducted in the well equipped labora- tory. The study of House Furnishing, Home Management, Dietetics and Methods of Teaching round out a four year course in Home Economics. SCIENCE FOR WOMEN Within the last few years, and espe- cially during the war women have proved their excellence or their superi- ority in Chemistry and Biology. Lom- bard has placed graduates in attractive positions in these sciences previously held by men. A recent woman graduate of Lom- bard is to-day chief chemist of one of our large Western industries, going as laboratory assistant three years ago. Another woman is chief bacteriologist in a state laboratory and whose train- ing was entirely at Lombard. We have several similar cases on our records. This is why Lombard believes firmly that its students should not only take the cultural work, but should also take, with that work, enough of some chosen specialty, that upon graduation she is ready to accent a position of responsi- bility. iiiifiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiHiifliiiitiiiiiiifiifiJiiiiiiiifiiiiinHiiititiiiraiiiiiiiifffifiiHij 21 niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiin AGRICULTURE In the midst of the richest farm com- munity of America it is only natural that Lombard should have a strong and efficient course for those wishing to study Agriculture. With the finest faculty available in the subjects of Agricultural science, Lombard offers unusual opportunities to high school graduates who wish to prepare them- selves to teach Agriculture in our high schools, for those who wish to go back to the farm and more efficient- ly conduct this important business and for those who desire to do agricultural work at the university after two inten- sive years at Lombard. The work at Lombard has been ac- cepted by the State University as creditable and has received the com- mendation of many members of the Knox County Farm Bureau. This work in Agriculture has be- come very popular at Lombard on ac- count of its intensely practical nature. It is carried along side by side with work that is just as theoretical. Our expert agriculturists have proved that this is the best and most efficient meth- od of not only teaching Agriculture but of carrying on pur farms. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The work of this department is in- tended to thoroughly acquaint the stu- dent with principles of industrial and commercial organization. Courses are offered which afford spe- cial training to young men and women who are looking forward to business, industrial expert, or teaching careers. , The subjects of instruction are plan- ned to give that general instruction which is valuable whatever the field the student intends to enter and also to furnish training especially adapted to the particular careers chosen. imiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 22 BIOLOGY The work in this department aims to provide special training to young men and women who desire preparation to teach; for state biological work; for special phases of medical research; for commercial laboratory work and for those who contemplate taking up the study of medicine. The subjects of instruction are so planned as to give that general instruc- tion which is valuable in whatever phase of biological work the student intends to enter and also to furnish training especially adapted to the par- ticular career chosen. CHEMISTRY As an important part of Home Eco- nomics, a necessity to Agriculture, and a basic part of medical work, Chemis- try forms an important part of the pro- gressive college curriculum. As a most important course of study, by itself, Chemistry offers more op- portunities than any other single sub- ject. Preparation is offered for teach- ing, research, industrial positions and for other scientific administrative oc- cupations. The Chemistry department is excel- lently equipped with thoroughly up-to- date apparatus, and prepared to &;ive the very finest instruction to those specializing in this important science. TOMPKINS SCIENCE HALL Always strong in Science, Lombard now steps into the very front ranks with the opening of Tompkins Science Hall. The commodious laboratories, lecture rooms, recitation rooms, prep- aration and research laboratories and up-to-date equipment makes this latest evidence of Lombard's progressive work all the more apparent. 23 (Illllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll SUGGESTED COURSES FOR MEN Business Administration Fundamental preparation for Execu- tives and Teachers.

The foot ball schedule in- cludes, not only the finest colleges of our own Conference, but such institu- tions as St. Louis University, who is always looking for a big, peppy game. This condition becomes possible through the faculty interest in athletics and a body of students full of the good old Lombard spirit true to that line of the Lombard song which says: "Whether in defeat or victory, "We'll be loyal just the same." The 1920 foot ball team played a wonderful season with a large propor- tion of its team freshmen, all of whom have promised to return next year. They scored over 230 points against their opponents' 25 points and gave their old time rival, Knox College, a good "whaling" with a score of 24 to 6. In basket ball the same good pace continued and during the regular sea- son the team won 12 games out of 15 played. Base ball and track are just as suc- cessful and with the finest of co-opera- tion next year's athletics is bound to be even better, if possible, than this year's results have shown. THE NEW STADIUM In January the trustees voted that with the excellent work Lombard was doing in athletics, the one thing that would encourage the sport more than anything else would be the erection of a stadium and the rebuilding of the Lombard Athletic field. The new dress- ing room facilities in the gymnasium have already made this building one of the finest in the state. Now with the fine athletic field and stadium Lombard will be second to none in its athletic equipment. ■■oiniuiiiniififiiiitiiififiiiiiififiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiifiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiffiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHitffi 26 Illllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllli PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR WOMEN Men do not alone enjoy athletic privileges at Lombard, for under an efficient and trained Physical Instructor the girls' work has become a pleasure to which they look foward. Every girl in the Freshman and Sophomore classes, unless physically unfit, willing- ly takes this interesting work in physi- cal development. Added to the gym- nasium work, the girls have organized teams for hikes, basket ball, tennis, base ball, and hockey. Games and tournaments are frequent and the en- thusiasm of this work runs in good competition to the work in pageantry carried on by the same classes. Pageantry holds a conspicuous place in the physical educational work of Lombard's women. Each spring an elaborate production is given under the direction of the Physical Instructor. Some appropriate part of the beautiful campus is selected for the performance and it is no uncommon sight to see two or three thousand of Lombard's friends from Galesburg on the campus to wit- ness the spectacle. The 1921 produc- tion was a rendition of Robin Hood, especially written and produced by Miss Wilma Scott, the Director of the Department. In all, athletics at Lombard is an im- portant feature of college life and in- cludes practically one hundred per cent of all the students. 27 Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIII11II1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1I LOMBARD SONGS AND THE TEAM YELL L-o-m-b-a-r-d L-O-M-B-A-R-D Dear Old Lombard College C-O-L-L-E-G-E That's where we get knowledge V-I-C-T-O-R-Y That we dare and do Every day we try to win honors high For Lombard, dear Lombard, old Lom- bard for you.
