Sophomore Advisor Ambition Rewarded Anyone ambitious enough to mount the stairs to the third floor of the college building is usually greeted by the unmistakable odor of formaldehyde. Though unappreciated by the olfactory organs this preservant is necessary if one wishes to truly appreciate the intricacies of nature. Through laboratory experiments, field trips, and class lectures science students learn more about themselves and the natural world around them. Besides learning special skills such as dissection, these students learn skills in observation through microscope practice and other laboratory work. Studies in the scientific method showing the insistence of science upon fact aid them in critical thinking. HOWARD DINSMORE Ph.D. Chomisiry. Physical Science ROBERT J.
