Ph ilosoph y an d R e l i g i o n. "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding" ( Proverbs 3 : 1 3 ) -the linking of religion and logic in the realization that in religion lies the only true philosophy. In joining the greatest teacher, the immortal Jesus Christ, with those great mortal teachers, Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates, the Department of Philosophy and Religion secures its objectives of ultimate and Christian meaning to human exist­ ence. In this turmoil-filled world of confusion, with prejudice and illogical thinking gaining pre­ dominance, the need for accurate and consistent thinking is appalling and only through the com­ bined efforts of philosophy and religion is the best possible solution offered. With the major emphasis of the college being religiously centered, subordination of philosophy might be expected. However, in the linking to­ gether of these two major fields a strong union instead of disorganized antagonism is attained. Through this union, mutual benefits are enjoyed by both philosophy and religion.
