A common Knowledge ol scientific principles Markham, Whitney, Horman. Few areas of human knowledge have experienced the transformations and modifications characteristic of all facets of science. To compensate for these changes, our science department strove to acquaint the student with the latest available knowledge in the fields of general science, biology, chemistry and physics. The volume of present-day knowledge has necessitated the addition of new courses to the curriculum to fur- ther enlighten the science-oriented student. For them, advanced chemistry and microbiology have been offered to supplement the fundamental chemistry and biology courses in the hope that these subiects will better equip our students for the rigors of college curricula. fi fi ii fffli, ' 3 ' , -M ,, ,ik . ,W,u..
