I A Chemistry proves to be a very interesting subject for these students as they perform one of their many lab experiments. The Chemistry Department at Eastern Michigan Uni- versity offers a well-rounded curriculum to students interested in this field. Two types of chemistry majors are offered. One leads to a career in industrial chemistry and possible graduate work for an advanced degree. The other prepares students for teaching chemistry on a secondary level. The Chemistry Department also offers a degree program in Medical Technology. With fifty- seven hours of courses now available, the chemistry pro- gram now meets the accreditation requirement of the American Chemical Society. Many facilities and new equipment not usually avail- able to undergraduates are provided by various gifts and government grants. The largest of these is provided by the National Science Foundation. The amount is then equalled by the university to supply teaching equip- ment for the undergraduate students. The Chemistry Department is ambitious in its plans. They have a strong undergraduate program and plan eventually to expand toward graduate work for teachers. The department encourages high achievement by offer- ing each year the B. W. Peet Memorial Scholarship to the outstanding junior student. Chemistr Department Gains New Status Q 1 ..,Ile f -'ef l SEATED-L. to R.: Dr. R. M. Scotty Dr. O. Robbins, STANDING-L. to R.: Mr. E.
