0f the horse and a daemonelix found in eastern Wyoming by a group of Augustana students, Many field trips are made each year by the geology students. These include the Tri-State Geological Conference trip to the region about Dubuque, Iowa, the Illinois State Geological Field Confer- ence at Freeport, IiEinois, and freshman tours throughout the Triwity area and to Mazon Creek. The pure science, mathematics, as found at Augustana, has the aim and purpose of developing students in logical thinking, of giving them a mathematical foundation for study in the various sciences, such as chemistry, physics, and engineering and of preparing them for the teaching profession as well as for graduate study in mathematics. Elementary and advanced courses are offered in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and in the study of equa- tions. Work in mechanical drawing and surveying are also included in the curriculum of this division. The Udden Geology Club, named in honor of a former geology professor at Augustana, was organized in 1934 by RUTH LEF EV ER Muscatine, Iowa Mrlthcmulics fNu picture! MIRIAM M. BLOMQUIST DeKalb.

have done much to help the courses in the held of visuai education, Among the basic sciences, geology in particular has a broad cultural value and offers training in scientific meth- ods with a minimum of technical prerequisites. The intro- ductory courses aim to provide a knowledge of the origin and subsequent history of the earth, as well as an under- standing of present land forms and geological processes. The advanced courses, aside from their general educational interest, are desirable for students majoring in allied sci- ences and are fundamental for graduate work in geology. The new science hall has afforded sufficient room for sep- arate laboratories for the different courses. Much of the work this year consisted principally of cataloging, reiden- tifying, cleaning, and sorting all the mineral and fossil- specimens available. This was never possible under the old arrangement because of the lack of display space. The ad- ditional room has made possible the housing of the large collection of fossils and minerals that were more or less scattered before and inaccessible for study. The more serv- iceable displays afforded by the museum include two un- usually interesting ones, namely those showing the evolution WILLIAM E. CEDERBERG, Ph.B., A.M., PhD.

Field trips are taken by the members each spring to different districts rich in geoiogic lore. Upper Michiganks iron ore and copper regions were selected as the center of study for the third annual field trip that extended over a week in May of this year. A visit was also made to the famous Mazon Creek district near Morris, Illinois. The Lindahl Biology Club was organized this spring by :1 large group of biology studentsl Its name was chosen as such to honor the man who founded the biology department at Augustana. The purpose of the club is to support projects which apply these principles found in their course work. It has done much to bridge the gap so often foimd between the theoretical and practical asPects of the subjects studied. LINDAHL BIOLOGY CLUB recnmne DcHuckcr. Schercr. C. . Swnnson, Yiuizling.
