We always thought of the bio majors as ha ' ing a real curiosity to see what makes organisms run, for they were the Bucknellians who knew what the meat on their dinner plates was doing while still on the hoof. Study was not limited to the four leooed creatures, since there were courses that considered feathers, fins, and chlorophyll too Four years at B. U. should have given anybody insight into all kinds of human nature, but the physiology students were a step ahead of the rest of us in knowing the inside story of the personalities thev met and worked with. There was no one who studied under the guidance of the department who did not come away a little more observant of life around him, and a lot more awed by the efficiency of nature.

Art We spent manv long afternoons perched in front of an easel in the uppermost regions of the Engineering Building. Whether inspiration seeped up from the engineers on the floors below is questionable, but it was here that we turned out our masterpieces for the annual student art exhibit and other shows in nearbv cities. This garret with its half finished canvases, sketches, and sculpture, and its comfortable smell of turpentine, was a fas cinating world for which we shall always have special thoughts. » ♦ % ♦ % • % . , i % % % Professor Blanchard S.

% ♦ % Mixed emutions over lobster. We studied plant life diligently in our botany labs, but our favorite pastime was tickling the insect eating plant with a pencil to see it cautiously close up. Any person who dared to dabble in biology was sure to find himself in the 100 course where he learned that a willow tree could be grown in a small tub, if necessary, and that some interesting results may be obtained when one crosses a trotter w ith a pacer. And, we with our elementary bio could sympathize with the struggling student of those mys- terious embryology and histology classes. Dr. Wayne E. Manning Dr. Roger H. Bowman Now watch the little things grow! 19
