Field Trips Taken by Biology Classes BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT Under the chairmanship of Dr. Lois E. James, the biology department presents a balanced program in physiology, zoology, genetics and botany. Courses include many field trips throughout southern California which allow students to observe plants and animals in their natural habitats. With the aid of new and improved lab- oratory equipment, students are able to ex- tensively explore for themselves the .lives of micro-organisms and analyze larger forms of plant and animal life. With an extremely competent faculty, many of whom are engaged in special research projects, the department provides students with an outstanding pre-med education. Dr. Thomas T. Harris Dr. Lois E.
