The future business leaders of Louisiana may be found working with ledgers or learning to use the business ma- chines in Himes Hall. The College of Business Administra- tion offers the student a highly varied program in the busi- ness and economic fields and maintains a division of research for the purpose of studying the business conditions in the state. Upon graduation from this college, the student is prepared to take his place in almost any status of the busi- ness world.

Atoms, molecules, neculi, and electrons invade Coates Labora- tory in the form of a display for the open house given by the College of Chemistry and Physics. COLLEGE OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS Upon entering Coates Chemical Laboratories, one enters a world of equations, test tubes, and scientific questions. The College of Chemistry and Physics is composed of the Audubon Sugar School and the departments of Chemistry, Agricultural Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Physics and Astronomy. In their various fields of study, the students are trained to hold positions of trust and responsibility in industry and scientific research. ' To know the answer or not to know the answer ' is the question that this Physics student asks himself as he attempts to work his assigned problem for the benefit of the class. The proper use of the analytical balance is an important phase in the knowledge of quantitative chemistry. Here a graduate student carefully weighs an unknown substance.
