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.

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.

To be able to communicate knowledge to other people, and at the same time to inspire them to a greater desire for learning, is the gift of the real teacher. The study of education and psy- chology helps the student to view all subjects in relation to the whole as they assume their proper per- spective. Through this same medium, the study of education and psychol- ogy as pursued in the past, com- pared with the present systems, adds to the knowledge of what is being accomplished along educa- tional lines in the light of the teach- er ' s responsibility towards the lives that he is to influence. Courses in the learning and teaching processes, followed by participation, observation, and di- rected teaching in the elementary and secondary fields, prepare the student for actual teaching. As one learns how to train others, his own life will be molded after the likeness of the divine Teacher. Professor Gerald E. Miles explains a theory of psychology. Education Miss S.
