(;;;hemistry when Middlebuiy Collci;c is dis- cussed among people who arc strangers to the school, it is usually referred to as a fine institution in the held of mod- ern languages and English. Quite true, but little do such strangers realize the fame of the Middiebury Chemistry Department among those well versed in the field. It is a department both progressive and impressive. Twelve percent of the graduating class of 1940 were chem majors. The curriculum offered by the department includes General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Quan- titative Analysis, Biological Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, as well as a sepa- rate department of Household Chem- istry for the women of the college.

MR ALLEN. MR COOK MERICAN LITERATURE American Litcr.uure at Middlebury is entirely sepa- rated from the regular English courses. Headed by Professor Reginald L. Cook, Chairman since 1929, and assisted by Mr. George W. Allen, the department offers a popular major and includes, besides regular subjects, Special Research Courses in Emerson and Thoreau. BIOLOGY If it ' s Biology, we can do it. Long the slogan of this department, the new initiate will hear it upon his entrance into the Baby Bug lab. Among the courses offered are: Gen- eral Biology, Anatomy, Physiology of Plants, Physiology, Bacteriology, Ge- netics, Embryology and Histology. In other words, from the above you may learn the development of the world and its inhabitants Irom the microscopic amoeba to that complex creature called man. At the head of the department is Professor Samuel E. Longwell. As Assistant Professors of Biology, Charles D. Howell and Rex N. Webster con- tribute their share towards making it a really worthwhile field to pursue. DR. REX WEBSTER. DR SAMUEL LONGWELL, DR CHARLES HOWELL. JAMES MORROW.

QRAMA AND PUBLIC SPEAKING Closely allied with the extra-cur- ricular activities of the college, the department also provides a compre- hensive understanding of the art and practical appliances of speech. All phases of play-production are stressed, thereby engaging more talents. D S. G. G. This alphabet soup is readily trans- lated into the Department of Drawing and Surveying and the Department of Geology and Geography. The links between the two are the third floor of Warner Science and Professor Swett, who teaches in both departments. F A C 24
