THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENTS For the past eleven years the Science Department has been under the direction of Dr. John B. Entrikin, A.B., M.A., Ph.D., who supervises the work of the other divisions of the science group as well as that of his own Chemistry Department. Here students who are taking courses preparatory to entering medi- cine or engineering as a profession are given an excellent foundation while others study the general courses or advanced subjects required for graduation. Students engaged in work in the science labora- tories are conducted through paper mills, oil fields, refineries, glass factories, foundaries, and many other industrial plants as a part of their class work; and field trips into adjacent states are made under the supervision of faculty members. Pictured above is Dr. L. A. Thayer, B.S., M.S., Ph.D., who, as act- ing head of the Department of Biology, is conducting an experiment with one of the students in Botany.
