The 1964-65 school year saw widespread expan- sion in the Mathematics Department. Six new courses were added on the graduate level and sev- eral on the undergraduate. Briggs Hall was ex- panded to provide more office space for the grow- ing department. The Mathematics Department was increased in size to nineteen faculty members this year. Assist- ant Professor Edmund Goings is presently assigned to the National Teacher Education Center, Repub- lic of Somalia. Students run a program on the IBM 1620 for their course in Digital Computer.

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.

It will offer a Master of Arts with a major in music. Although the primary function of the Music Department is to prepare students for a Bachelor of Music Education, it also offers many service courses and electives for the non-music ma- jors on the Early and Later Elementary Curricu- lums. Every summer the department offers a three- week summer session for high school students. In addition this summer there will be a choral work- shop under the direction of Paul Christiansen. Each year the Music Department sponsors a number of guest artists such as Catherine Crozier, the Interlochen Youth Symphony, and V. Ussachev- sky. It also furnishes music for rebroadcasts on WAAM radio station.
