c57 51! 2§X5-iK . a m esph h imi mm ITE past year has been one of marked growth in all the departments of this institution: and the Scientific, the oldest department, has maintained its foremost place in what is now the State University of Kentucky. This department bears witness to the tireless efforts and devotion of our Dean, Prof. James G. White, who not only guides the men to a thoughtful and judicious choice of work, and takes time to cultivate their friendship; but promotes every cause that contributes to the welfare of the students of the University. There is a wide range of choice in the Scientific Department. Courses in the following subjects may be chosen as majors: Chemistry, Botany, Physics, Physiology, Anatomy, Geology, Zoology, or Entomology can be taken: and the satisfactory completion of the re- quired amount of work entitles one to the degree of Bachelor of Science: while an addi- tional year occupied in study and research leads to the degree of Master of Science. Only the briefest outline can be given of the various majors, several pages would be necessary to give the details of the work of any one of the courses. Through the co-operation and energy of Prof. Franklin E. Tuttle and Dr. Kalpli X. Maxon the Chemistry Department has greatly increased its efficiency, number of courses, library and apparatus, until this department is now regarded as one of the strongest in the South. The chemistry building may always be distinguished at night by the gleam from the windows of the busy laboratories. In fact a new rendering of the old adage is. “Classics work from eight till one; but the chemist’s work is never done. The Department of Botany, under the able management of Prof. Clarence W.

assisted by Prof. Alfred H. Gilbert, has so far outgrown the equipment that the laboratories will he moved into new and more spacious quarters in the new Agriculture building now nearing completion. The Department of Physics is in charge of Prof. Merry L. Pence, assisted by Prof. William S. Webb. This department has grown until lecture room facilities are now a necessity. At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees money was appropriated for a new Physics building, which we hope to be able to occupy in September. The Department of Anatomy and Physiology is under the control of Dr. Joseph W. Pryor, the one man whom everybody gets acquainted with. Dr. Pryor is surgeon of the regiment and is also the man on duty at the foot ball games and other athletic contests. The department of Geology and Zoology are supervised by Prof. Arthur M. Miller, who by a mere look at a piece of rock can interpret the hidden secrets of past ages. The laboratory work is very ably carried on by Miss Sue D. McCann, instructor in Entomology. There is a valuable library for the work in Geology, and one for Entomology and Zoology and a well- equipped museum affords ample material for illustration and practical exercise in the fields of these important subjects. The story of the marvelous field of Science, as here studied, cannot be briefly told, but any earnest student who comes to this University to prepare himself for his life work in the sciences, may find preparation that will lead him to efficiency and suc- cess, and with the growing facilities of this rising University, those looking toward medicine and similar fields may soon expect satisfactory opportunities. Xote : Since writing the foregoing, Prof. .T. fi. White, owing to the heavy duties involved upon him by the change of the College to a University, resigned as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Prof. A. M. Miller will till the chair in the future. Prof. White’s resignation does not take place until .Tune. THE DOMESTIC SCIENCE LABORATORY
