Department of Mathematics Dreaded by some because of the catalog requirement. Mathematics holds forth excel- lent opportunities for the student that is ‘ mathematically inclined.” Miss Nelson, director of all the figuring work, is largely responsible for the depart- Mathematics finds its best offer in the fact that many high school teachers of Mathe- matics are always in demand. It is one of the most practical subjects taught in the college. Students who make thor ough pre- paration in Mathematics do not have to worry about the constant changing of subject matter that is found in other departments. What was good several years ago in Mathematics is good today. Therefore, Mathematics does have its advantages.

Department of Natural Sciences Looking at the Natural Sciences depart- ment we find it divided into three groups, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Although an excessive range of courses are not offered, as compared with the other departments of the school, this does not reflect upon the class of work that is being done. Under the leadership of President Bax- ter who finds his second duty as a teacher of the more advanced classes, this department is ably directed. Perhaps the Biology sec- lon is the strongest of the three mentioned as more students are found enrolled there. Chemistry, especially the beginners courses, Professor Witt is doing graduate work this year. He will strengthen the department next year with his services.
