Mr. Thurlo Thomas, Head of Department Reactions of students to their biology courses are as varied as human nature. To the squeamish co-ed on her way an introductory lab, the afternoon may loom as single Com, bat with a live worm or crawhsh, while a Comparative Anatomy student may approach his reeking shark with little disgust and much interest in its features. Many first year Biology students find their courses 3, fag. cinating introduction to a world of life they never realized was so extensive or complex. The ones who continue 3,5 majors may work on independent research and both students and faculty members have been known to spend late hours in Laird labs observing diverse uentitiesl' such as chicken embryos or crayhsh. Under the chairmanship of Dr. Thurlo Thomas, the de- partment has made maximum progress in the antiquated Laird Hall. However, with the generous help of the Olin Foundation, a new Biology-Physics building will be started in Fall '59, to be completed in about a year. Besides a great increase in needed space for labs and lectures, the building will include controlled environment areas and much new equipment which will enable stepped-up research.

Those interested in the graphic arts are offered a real chance to explore the many mediums by becoming a member of Bottega. Under the supervision of Dean Warnholtz, the organization meets every VVednesday evening in Boliou VVorkshop. By working with the large variety of equipment available in the workshop and by combining in joint projects, the members are able to experiment and perfect their skills and at the same time have a great deal of fun. 19 sa.

NATURAL HISTORY CLUB Man's daily life is enveloped by the natural world, yet in today's society nature often remains unnoticed while he treads his many paths, oblivious to its beauties and phenomena. Such is especially true of students whose rigorous academic life leaves little time for the individual to meander among the woods and fields while observing the timid and the wild. It is, therefore, the purpose of NHC to offer, as a break in the daily routine, an opportunity to the stu- dent to seek out and enjoy some of natureis forms. Without organized Held excursions, only the in- tensely interested will Hnd the time necessary to stray from their studies, the casual follower must be given the incentive to do so. Each year NHC ofiers this incentive by promot- ing Held trips to areas near the college in addition to inside activities such as lectures, movies, and demonstrations. -
