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.

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.

LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE This department includes a group of liberal sciences which has done much to establish Augustana as a ranking school among the colleges of the country. Of the classical languages, Greek is the more popular field of study, largely because of the great number of pre- ministerial students selecting Greek as their major. This department has for its aim the qualification of the student for the understanding and appreciation of the masterpieces of Greek literature. To this end emphasis is laid upon the relative mastery of forms, the syntactical constructions, and a fairly comprehensive working vocabulary. Concur- rently with the acquisition of forms, the reading of various authors gives occasion for the study of the development of Greek civilization, manners, morals, religion, statecraft, outlook on life: and philosophic thought ranging from its primitive levels in Homer to its zenith in Socrates and Plato. In the Latin courses the student is given a thorough drill in the vocabulary and in the various verb forms besides being made acquainted with Roman culture and philoso- phies. Among the various helds of study in this department are the works of Caesar, Ovid, Cicero, Virgil, Tacitus, and Horace. The aim of the first two years of French is to give the student the power to read, with a fair degree of fluency and without translation, prose of average difficulty. Gram- mar is considered only as a means. Pronunciation and v0- cabulary are stressed. The latter courses give increasing attention to literary appreciation or aim to develop a more active and practical command of the language as a means of expression. The primary object of the study of German is the attain- ment of an easy reading knowletfge of the language. This, when attained, will make the language a valuable tool for use in graduate study and in the various arts and prufee sions, and will also make it a key to the treasures of a great ISAAC M.
