Courses in general seienee, biology, ehelnis- try, and physics have plaeed speeial emphasis on those topies that have direet applieation to the War program: explosives, antisepties, me- ehanies, optieal inst,rument,s, sound, prineiples ol' airplanes, high altitude equipment, and eleelrieal deviees. lixperirnenls, demonslralions, diseussions, readings, and leetnres aid the student in learn- ing the basis of seientilie knowledge. Speeial eoneenttration on advaneed seienee eourses is a result ofa war whose moves are dependent on intrieate ealeulalions.
