BIGLCDGY Of outstanding importance this year in the department of biology was the founding ofa Blood Bureau by means of which blood of students was typed. This was a valuable defense effort as well as an aid to hospitals and physicians. This year also saw the extension of the campus planting program. ln i939 the trustees set aside a tract of 22 acres for the establishment of an arboretum and bird sanctuary. Roads and a large pond have been built, and a border of several thousand small trees and shrubs has been planted. Besides maintaining propagating nurseries, the department supervises the selection of plants from woods and fields, in the endeavor to ultimately have growing in one place as many native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants as possible, thus forming not only a place of beauty, but a living outdoor laboratory for the study of plants and animals. Campus landscaping is under the sponsorship of this department. ln April the biology department, in cooperation with the geology, physics, and chemistry depart- ments acted as host to l6O high school science students on Science Day. Right here is the heart, explains Buzz Braithwoite to biology majors Addie Statler, Evelyn Heminger, and Betty Olsen . . . Prof. Mose ley studies tree rings, surrounded by his collections . . . A sample of what goes on after class down biology way-faculty session What concentration! But we'll bet that Velkoff is just afraid to look up.

Outstanding activities this year in the art department included an exhibit in January of oil and water color paintings, and an outdoor art fair in the spring which featured painting and sculpturing exhibits and demonstrations in various phases of the field. Another activity ot the department was a series ot trips taken by several ot the classes to the Toledo Museum ot Art. This year the art and speech departments collaborated in designing stage sets for the University plays. W Miss Lucile Wilkinson was added to the faculty of the department last tall. She has attended Northwestern and Columbia Universities and has studied in Paris and Vienna.

The department provides training for those who wish to engage in business as a life career and for those in other lines of work who feel the need for some instruction in this field. Offerings are made in accounting, finance, general business, industrial management, marketing, and secretarial administration. A number of field trips were mode by various classes in the department this year. The statistics class visited the Ohio Oil Company at Findlay, the advertising class visited the Gray Printing and Engraving establishment at Fostoria, and some classes made studies of sales and credit activities of several Toledo department stores. During the past year a representative of the Market Research Division of WLW visited the campus ancl lectured on radio and market research, a representative of the International Business Machines discussed machine accounting, a sales promotion worker with the Cooper Manufacturing Company spoke on sales procedures, and a representative of the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation spoke to members of the department. lt looks like Brown and Weaver are expecting one of Doc Cooke's famous digressions . . . You see it's simple, all you have to do is think it out says Prof. Eggiman . . . Dr. Manhart explains a statistical problem. Sorry we can't explain further.
