Mrs. Lauretta Wilcox-Jarnes inspects a biological specimen. The popularity of the prenursing cur- riculum is evinced by the large enrollment in the classes offered in these courses, which are under the able supervision of Mrs. Lauretta Wilcox-Jarnes. Not only do the students in these classes learn some of the background of caring for others, but they also through the principles of healthful living learn how- to care for their own bodies. In the physi- cal education class students play vigorous games, perform calisthenics and learn corrective exercises. The commission to minister unto others is carefully infused into the training of these future nurses and doctors, along with their general cultural subjects, and such scientific subjects as anatomy and physiology, bacteriology, biology and chemistry. Nursing and Health Education Prenursing students at work in laboratory.

As mathematics and physics advance, so human progress advances. This may seem impossible, but just how far would civil engineering, medical science, and everyday trade in the business world, or any of the other applied sciences, have developed if it had not been for mathe- matics and physics? They are extremely essential in every line of work or study. The greatest benefit that one derives from studying mathematics or physics is the cultivating of a systematic and organ- ized method of thinking. One receives an immense feeling of satisfaction when a stubborn equation has been solved or an experiment has been performed to meet Professor Milton Hare ' s exacting re- quirements. One surely cannot go wrong by taking a course in this department. Mysteries of Mathematics and Physics unraveled by Professor Milton D. Hare Mathematics and Physics Students experimenting in the physics laboratory.

If one can once get past the thick cloud of smelly fumes that float down the stairs of the Science Building and brave the dangers that the uninitiated fear are in the upper regions, he will find one of the most interesting places on the campus. Here marvels and mysteries are revealed before the wondering eyes of the careful student. Contrary to the mistaken notion that chemistry is just a study for the would-be doctor or nurse, the fact is that chemical processes are going on around us all the time, and the study of the composition of substances, their analysis, and the trans- formations which they undergo all hold a challenge to anyone who is at all inter- ested in what makes himself and the things around him tick. Dr. Philip S. Chen, Head of Department of Chemistry soybean specialist. Chemistry and Biology Dr. Chen ' s chart has attracted nation-wide attention.
