JOHN PELLETIER Physics A modern world growing more scientifically-minded each year, demands certain basic knowledge of its principles and laws by all. Common mem- ories of students who have elected the popular science course, biology, include dissecting grasshoppers, frogs, and crayfish, experiences which aid in understanding universal scientific theories. Those interested in pursuing the basic biology course at a more detailed level may choose the one-semester courses, physiology, a study of the human system; and zoology, which involves comparisons of typical animal forms.
