CHEMISTRY Sellers Kerchevol Conn Brundage Because of its fascinating room for new discoveries and because of the need for trained scientific minds, tfie field of science attracts mere and more students eocfi year. Cfiemistry students spend port of their time in learning theory and the remainder in laboratory work where they surround themselves with Bunsen burners, test tubes, and chemical formulae. Professor Pern Brundage heads this depart- ment. Students in the physics department, headed by Professor hHarn Smith, learn the natural laws of the physical world in such courses as electricity, the mechanics of solids, astronomy, and the mechanics of heat and sound. Time in these courses is spent between learning theories and then testing them in the laboratory. During these war times, such courses have become more important and more popular.
