These specimens were donated by the Memorial Hospital, Corpus Christi. This fall the Department of Biol- ogy began its master ' s specialization area in marine biology, according to Dr. John T. Peacock, chairman. Also, the wildlife program is now at mas- ter ' s degree level. The Biological department strives to provide a good broad background in biological sciences involving both plant and animal life and is geared more towards field problems than laboratory studies. The department has nine full-time members and all of them except one has a doctor ' s degree. New to the biology faculty this year is Dr. Carl E. Wood, whose field is marine biol- ogy. Eleven graduate assistants who teach labs and make up exams com- plete the department personnel. There are 194 biology majors this year, a record number. 27
