Since that time a dozen new structures have been erected. Old Jackson Hall now houses the Science Depart- ment, class and lecture rooms. Physics: Dr. F. E. Lowance, as Head of the Physics Department, not only gives lectures, but supervises experiments in the well equipped laboratories. Com- prehensive courses in theory and prac- tice are offered for pre-engineering students as well as the Physics majors.

New students first confer with instructors. Courses are selected with the help of upperclassmen. Then to the Bursar ' s office for a final check-up, the last question asked and answered, and somewhere there is the punch bowl, presided over by one of the campus organizations.

In the Laboratory: In addition to regular class work, the Science Department stu- dents have the industrial plants of Shreve- port as a laboratory. Regular field trips through paper mills, oil fields, refineries, glass factories, foundaries and many other industrial plants are conducted under the supervision of faculty members. The rich soils of north Louisiana furnish an abund- ant supply of botany specimens, avail- able within a few minutes ' ride of the campus. At the top right is Miss Mary Waters, Associate Professor of Biology, at work in the laboratory. Dr. L. A. Thayer, conducting a Botany class, (at right) uses many specimens obtained near the col- lege. Professor William Wallace, Head of the Geology Department, has access to sub-surface cores obtained from deep oil wells in Louisiana. At the bottom of the page Dr. John B. Entrikin, Head of the Chemistry Department, is shown conduct- ing an experiment in the chemistry laboratory.
