The Biology Department is headed by Professor Anna Josephine Bridgman. an Agnes Scott graduate. She had taught most of her life, but at one time she assisted in a physics laboratory at Langley Field, and she had worked at Oak Ridge. Miss Bridgman devoted part of her time to research on protozoa. BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT Lorin W. Roberts, associate professor of biology, was known to students by his botany courses and by his keen sense of humor. In addition to teaching, he was engaged in research on the localization of enzyme sys- tems in plant tissues. His fondness for being out of doors led him to take many camping trips with his wife, Betty, and to serve as a forest ranger in the West for seven summers. He is faculty advisor of Chi Beta Phi. Friendliness and a kren interest in the activities of the students were tv o notable features of Miss Nancy Pence Groseclose, as they were of many other Agnes Scott teachers. She was affectionately known to the students .is Miss Grose. The courses that she taught were histology, embryology, and physiology. The botany laboratories were conducted by Mrs. Netta Elizabeth Gray, instructor, who carried on her own research. In her spare time she enjoyed gardening and stamp collecting. Miss Anne Martha Salyerds, instructor in biology, spe- cialized in parisitology. One of her hobbies was horse- back riding. She and students who shared this interest drove to the stables many Saturday afternoons. Lorln Roberts and Miss Nancy Gr Mrs. Netta close; Anne Salyerds and

Paul Leslie Garbe The head of the Bible Department, Professor Paul Leslie Garber, was noted among Biblical scholars for his work on the Howland-Garber reconstruction of Solomon ' s Temple, a model which was kept at Agnes Scott. Mr. Garber did supply preaching and followed affairs in Palestine and the Middle East with interest. In the summer of 1954 he was a representative to the world council of churches. BIBLE DEPARTMENT Mr. Samuel A. Cartledge, a visiting professor, has been on the faculty of Columbia Seminary for twenty-five years. He once spent a sabatic year in Switzerland and in the Holy Land and was able to recount details of his trip to help to make his lectures interesting. Since his chief hobby was photography, he had taken many beautiful colored slides of Palestine, which he showed to his classes. Twinkling eyes and a smile for everyone were char- acteristic of Miss Mary Lily Boney, assistant professor. Students admired her gaily decorated office and the colored slides which she, like Mr. Cartledge, had a hobby of taking. She and Mr. Garber were faculty advisors of the Bible Club.

Liking the unexpected, Miss Elizabeth Crigler, asso- ciate professor of chemistry, believed in the saying that variety is the spice of life. Perhaps this outlook explained her fondness for travel and the active part that she played in such community organizations as the League of Women Voters. In such ways as serving fruit salad during an organic demonstration. Miss Crigler brought variety, as well as interest, into her classes. Dr. W. H. Jones from Emory University was a favorite of his three students. Being an ardent Pogo fan rated him high on everybody ' s list. Mrs. Mary Walker Fox, assistant, conducted the 101 labs. She was always patient in helping students over the rough spots in experiments and sympathized with burned fingers and broken bottles. Her always hold the test tube pointing this way was a familiar sound in lab. Mrs. Dianne Shell Rousseau, assistant, assisted in analytical chemistry labs and in the research program. Students who sampled her fried chicken vowed that she was an excellent cook as well as an able chemist. Dr. W. J. Frierson CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT Mr. W. J. Frierson, Professor of Chemistry, head of his department and teacher of inorganic classes, was busy writing a research paper about chromatography and coiorimetric phases of analysis. Yet he found time for woodworking, tennis, hunting and fishing, and often could be seen gardening on Saturday afternoons. He and his wife frequently entertained students at their home, and many girls have pleasant memories of evenings spent there. -igler and W. Mrs. Diann Mary Fox and
