The Department of Science holds prestige over all others in being the oldest as.well as one of the best in the history of the College. At its head is the eminent mathematician, Prof. James G. White. He is principal instructor in Mathematics, and also pilots many young and tender minds through the unknown depths of astronomical observation. There are seven courses, each with an elective major study leading to the degree of B. S. The elective majors of the several courses' are Zoology, Chemistry. Physics, Geology. Botany, Entomology, and Anatomy and Physiology.' The able exponent of the wonders and mysteries of rocks, fossils, and animals, dead and alive, is Professor Arthur M. Miller, who is at the head of the Geological, Zoological, and Entomological departments. To one so versatile in his attainments is due the respect and admiration of all students. Professor Miller, aside from his duties as an instructor, has proved himself to be the friend and patron of pure athletics, and his hearty co-operation and assistance can always be re- lied upon in any matter pertaining to the interests of the physical attitude. The domain of the chemists is under the super- vision of Dr. F. E. Tuttle and Dr. R. FT. Masson. Both these instructors have the degree of Ph. D. and are worthy exponents of the “great science.” Dr. Tuttle was formerly of the State University of Penn- sylvania. and Dr. Maxson is a graduate of Yale. The chemical library lias recently been increased and the laboratory equipped with a set of apparatus, so jug of which, can scarcely be duplicated in the South. Altogether the Department of Chemistry is looming on the horizon as one of the most excellent training schools in its line in our section of .the country. Professor Pence still continues.to have charge of the Department of Physics. For many a day, in his able manner, has he instructed .the? student in the wiles of force, energy, and matter. Truly lie deserves his title of “Peter .the Great.” The physical labora- RISING YOUNG SCUQNT ISV 21
