THE IDEAL OF THE LIBERAL ARTS EMIlODIES WHAT
IS GOOD, BEAUTIFUL ANIJ REASONABLE. THE LlHERA1_
PERSPECTIVE PLACES LESS EMPHASIS ON KNOWLEDCE

THAT MAKE LIS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ACTIONS.
IT ENHANCES THE CAPACITY FOR THE DEVELOP-

THEREFORE, TO CONSIDER THE PRES-

LIFE. ALTHOUGH IT IS Dll'FICUlT TO BE CONVER-
SA NT WITH THE COMI)LEXITY OF THOUGHT
CARRIED OVER FROM EARLIER CENTURIES, THE
SUIlSTANCE AND NUANCED DISCOURSES OF THE
LIBERAL ARTS AFFORD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CEMENT THE FOUNDATIONS OF PER-

SONAL CHARACTER, PUBLIC DUTY AND A COMMIT-
MENT TO INTELLECTUAL VALUES THAT TEMPER
KNOWLEDGE WITH CREATIVE WISDOM. PERHAPS
THE GREATEST CHALLENGE DERIVES FROM
ATIEMPTS TO PRESERVE AND I)ERFEcr THE MEANS
TO ADAPT VALUES TO PURI)OSEFUL WORK, A SENSE

Western Maryland College
believes that liberally educated
men and women think and act critically, creatively,
and humanely. They take charge of their lives
and develop their unique potentials with reason,
imagination, and human concern. The College's
goal - to provide an academic and social
environment that promotes liberal learning _
is expressed in its Firsl Principles
We strive to place students at the center of a
humane environment so that they may see and work
toward their personal goals while respecting others
Shordy after the Civil War, Fayette RBuell, a Westminsterte~cher,embMkedon his dream of founding asmall private college. He purchased a tract
of land-~ hill overlooking the town and
issued a prospectus in search of support for hisdream. Although linancing was slcw to rnare-rializ<:.hedid receive generous support fromrwo of the community leaders: the ReverendJ.T.Ward,ofthcMethodistProteslant
Church, who would become the College's firstpresident, andJohnSmith, president of thethriving Western Maryland Railroadanda rest-
dent of nearby Wakefield Valley
Mr. Smnhwho beceme the first president ofthe College's boardoftrustees,suggesled rharthe College be named after the railroad, whichrnaintained an important terminal inWestminster. On the day in 1866 rhat lhe

dent activities available on campus, studentscan soon choose to fill their time to whatever
extent they wish.

Biology offers a major that provides the essen-tial background for students who wish to pur.sue graduate or professional studies as well as
those who wish to gain certification for secondaryschool teaching. From its founding, the
Cctlese and, the biology department have pre-pared men and women to enter medical schooland graduate programs in the life sciences.Through an added system of advising, intern.ships, and suggested ancillary courses ina Pre-Professional Curnculum for the Health
Sciences, the biology department assists thosewho wish to enter professional schools Onmedicine, dentistry, veterinary science, optom-etry,nul'iing,etc). Additionally,thedepart_

The total numberofelectiv~credithourswhich can be earned for Militaty Sciencecourses is 17 (plus 2 tf a jarsuary Term cOl1rseis

Cadets attend a weekly one-hour leadership

Freshman and sophomore students can compete for Anny ROTC scholarships These
merit scholarships pay 80% of tuition, plus

Western Maryland College likewise supple-

Physics deals with the most basic aspects of the
natural world, and is characterized by its empha-
sis upon the analysis and solution of rhose prob-
lems that the study of nature presents
The Physics major is designed to provide stu-
denlS with knowledge of and experience in the
basic concepts and methods used in physics
This background is appropriate for further
study in a variety of areas, induding law, rnedi-
cine, teaching, the social sclences.xngtnecring,mathematics, computer science, and the natural
sciences (astronomy, biology, chemistry, geol
ogy, meteorology, oceanography as well as
physics Itself). By a judicious chcice of clcc-
uves, the student with an undergraduate major
in physics can prepare forenrry into graduate
and professional study in any of these fields
