In 1875 Stewart College became Southwest- ern Presbyterian University, developing along- side the undergraduate curriculum a School of Theology, under the leadership of Dr. Joseph Wilson, father of Woodrow Wilson. The School of Theology remained in operation until 1917. When the college moved to Memphis in 1925, it adopted as its official title Southwestern At Memphis, denoting a liberal arts college. Southwestern's relation to the Presbyterian Church has remained close and unbroken since 1855. 10 Admissions

Challenges of the Multinational Economy: International Politics, Economics and Business Challenges of the Multinational Economy (CME) is a summer study program which em- phasizes the contemporary problems in inter- national political economy. The international setting of the program may be changed from year to year. Each year, a particular theme will be chosen as the focus of that program. In 1982, it was "Energy and Economic Development," and in 1983 it was "The Multinational Corporation." The program is usually held in London, Eng- land, at the London School of Economics for 6 weeks.

Professor John L. Streete, Department of Physics. Program Chairman.
No Major Offered
The course in Astronomy is designed to be of general interest and is open without pre- requisites to all students. Students who wish to become professional astronomers should consult Professor Streete to arrange a program of courses, within the framework of a physics major, that will permit admission to graduate study in astronomy. Qualified students are welcome to use Southwestern's telescopes for appropriate ob- servational experiments and research. Ar- rangements may be made with the Department of Physics.

While Southwestern does not offer a major in this area, students who would like to give an East Asian focus to their major work may be able to do so by electing courses from various de- partments and/or by arranging a period of study abroad in one of the East Asian countries. Pro- fessors teaching these courses—Professors Ap- person, Copper, Patterson, Roper—will be glad to offer their help in developing such a focus, if requested. Students may also wish to elect individual courses related to their particular interests.
