? ' i ' ' ! i -A wm Hi T ' .:M The chemistry program at Bethany College aims to provide a superior chemical training for teachers of high school science, for entrance to medical schools, and for buttressing allied fields. Preparation is given for routine work in industrial or government chemical laboratories, and for minor research in certain areas where graduate training is not absolutely essential. Bethany students are given a thorough work- ing basis for entry into graduate schools where they will continue their training for industrial research for some closely related vocation. It is the very definite purpose of the department so to correlate the student ' s endeavor that he may achieve an absolutely workable technical training in chemistry at the undergraduate level without sacrificing a balanced social or religious life. Laboratories and Eqnipiucuf The department is supplied with a general laboratory equipped for 156 students, an analy- tical laboratory with provision for 64 students and a well equipped laboratory for organic and (Continued on Page 20) ABOVE — The physical chemistry laboratory on the third floDr of Oglebay Hall is the scene of nearly all the labor- atory work assigned in upper division courses in chemistry. Students working here work almost entirely without sup- ervision, many of them on problems they themselves have chosen. A problem must result in something entirely new. It need not be a new product. Just a new develop- ment in technique is sufficient. Also on the third floor is the advanced organic lab and a machine shop for the manufacture of special apparatus required for experi- mental purposes. HEAD OF DEPARTMENT— DR. H. D. DAWSON -m

CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT The chemistry department at Bethany is one of the most im- portant and most progressive. Nearly all of the students at Bethany sooner or later have at least one chemistry course. They may take a general course to satisfy gradu- ation requirements, they may take all the chemistry courses for a major. Students majoring in biology, pre-medical or other scientific endeavors find a good background in chemistry necessary for the fullest understanding of some of the phenomena they study. PAGE FOUR

FRESHMAN WEEK Since it can be stated that beyond any reasonable doubt the most important scries of events in the first few weeks of school are those of Freshman Week, Bethanian presents a lasting picture story of these events. In order to make a connected story it was decided that a Typical Freshman Girl should be chosen and Bethanian will follow her through all the activities of Freshman Week. The girl chosen was Patricia. Cederquist of Ashtubula, Ohio. Her picture appears on the cover of this issue of the magazine and on this and following pages the camera records the most important of her activities in her first week of college beginning with her arrival on the campus and terminating with Sodbusters Ball. Pat was chosen as the Ty pical Freshman Girl because of her pertness, her vivacity, her general appearance, and her camera face. Upper left, Pat is welcomed to Phillips Fiall by Crix Fiess upon her arrival on Sunday afternoon. Sunday evening at the first informal gathering of the freshmen she was amused by the antics of Tony (Brooklyn) Cusmano who was the life of the party, upper right. Monday evening, informal reception at the Heights, low- er left Pat meets Dr. and Mrs. Cramblet. Lower right she chats with others at reception. PAGE SIX
