The old creaking halls of the Grant Building and the Brimhall Building — that part of upper campus which was the most nostaligic — still housed the College of Biological and Agri- cultural Sciences. With labs being taught from 7 in the morning to 10 at night, the college foresaw the added necessity of evening classes to alleviate the load on the crowded facilities. A broad program in the various biological and agricultural sciences related the fact that employment in these areas was never better. The school year saw an electron microscope installed in the Brim- hall Building, and the construction of two new greenhouses to help with more speci- fied instruction. The far-reaching effects and importance to the world of this area of study were exempli- fied in the world-wide activities of the Dean of the College of Biological and Agricultural Sciences, Rudger H. Walker. Dean Walker played an important role in the develop- ment of colleges and universities in several foreign countries. The student of life sciences at Brigham Young found a competent faculty trained well in their fields. This able teaching along with the advancement in facilities that hope- fully would someday be culminated by all departments being housed under the roof of a Life Sciences Building made the potential for learning a high one.
