Richard E. Freiburg, Ph.D. Head of the Department Professor BIOLOGY The Department of Biological Sciences is concerned with the in- troduction to the student of that substance called life. General zo- ology and botany act as extremely comprehensive introductions to the biological sciences. The biology major finds that through his de- tailed study of embryology, his- tology, physiology, and bacterio- logy, he becomes familiar with the processes of life. Herbert A. Sierk, Ph.D. Assistant Professor HUMANITIES The required humanities courses are committed to broadening the in- tellectual horizons of the student.

The combined effect of these five se- mesters is a general broadening of the student ' s intellectual understanding of the contemporary world. Richard E. Palmer, Ph.D. Associate Professor
