SCIENC Father Robert J. Kane, M.S. Chairman of Science Department, Physics, Alumni, Physics Club Experimental accuracy is stressed in the Physics course. ln its plan to meet the challenge of the modern era thek Science Department has blended a consideration of classical topics with a penetrating search into recent develop- ments. The biological sciences have combined an assay of the traditional approaches to the organized study of living organisms with a presentation of recent theories and techniques. ln the field of physical science a program has been made available which bridges the gap between classical and modern physics. ln the chemical sciences an effort has been made to present an extensive and complete survey of the background principles of chemistry as well as an understanding of reactions and products. ln a similar manner the preparatory and more detailed science courses venture to adapt their curricula to the rapidly advancing field of scientific endeavor. ln this way the depart- ment assures a program in which basic princi- ples and current progress are made meaningful and useful to the students.

E GLISH wifi' Father John J. Mulroy, M.A. Chairman of English Department, Public Speaking Milton is quoted by Father Mulroy to emphasize a point. Realizing the importance of clear and accurate communication in today's world, the English Department has undertaken the pro- motion of two of the most important fields of communication-spoken expression and the written word. On one hand the department encourages the development of a large and effective spoken vocabulary as well as the proper use and dependence upon the powers of speech-both public and conversational. On the other hand, it affords students the opportunity to express ideas on paper. ln this field training in appreciation and analysis of current and background literature is an in- tegral part of the development of effective rhetoric.
