The freshmen get a little English grammar drilled into ther Don ' t look so blue, boys, it could have been a quiz. The physics class learns a little from practical work. This is supposed to embarrass those who didn ' t study the assignment. The sophomores follow Archimedes as they attempt to straighten out the law of gravity in Physics lab. Everybody looks alert as John Lane ' s Public Speaking class makes some practical use of Parliamentary procedure. Doc Crouch must be trying to put over a very serious point. These religion courses seem to get pretty dry. The Arts and Science man ' s lab, the library, where many afternoons are spent doing research work for multitudinous term papers.

THE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES . . . that man mu ikt have knoivledc Under the guidance of Dr. F. M. Kinard, the School of Arts and Sciences provides a well-rounded education for those whose interests incline toward the field of liberal arts, as well as technical instruction in pre-medicine and industrial physics. Along with the usual math, English, and Chemistry, freshmen get U. S. history and a stiff dose of Hardee ' s Spanish or Dean ' s French. Sophomores take on lit under Doc Green, Physics with Mr. Wood or Dr. Lindsey, and then a trip to the dirt house for botany and zoology as offered by Mr. Rutledge and Frog Ware. From then on out the A. and S. boys can take their pick, and sooner or later they encounter Psycho Waite ' s psychology, Dean Kinard ' s Masterpieces , and some kind of history with Mr. Epting. And, of course, there ' s always Trevillian and Macauley for economics and accounting, John Lane ' s drama, and Doc Sheldon and Stanley for the eager boys who liked advanced math. For those who would have more than the dried facts from books, there ' s Doc Sheldon ' s Philosophy, offered with every math course, Ma Owing ' s humor, insepar- able from his English, Dr. Bolen ' s lessons in logic, not to mention Doc Taylor ' s cultured wit. By the time he has finished his trek around Tillman hall and the library, the Arts and Sciences man usually ends up with a major in English, History and Govern- ment, Economics, or Mathematics. Dr. F. M. Kinard, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, teaches a few English courses on the side.

The old Chemistry building has served its purpose well for over fifty years. THE SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY that the elements miakt b r Without question the most rapidly expanding school at Clemson, the School of Chemistry is now preparing to move into its new large and modern building. When the building is complete, it will contain the most up-to-date equipment available, the addition of which will be in accordance with the vast expansion program now under way. A beginner in the field of Chemistry will encounter few courses that differ from those taken by other majors. He will spend his time with frosh chemistry, English, math, etc., while he becomes acquainted with the broader aspects of a college education. As do most other students who major in a particular field, his specializa- tion will not begin until his sophomore year. With the addition of a deuce to his collar, the sophomore will find himself caught up in a maze of new and perplexing subjects. Qua! and Quan analysis with Doc Schirmer, in addition to calculus and English Lit, add to his bewilderment. If he should survive these two semesters, he has yet stiffer obstacles to surmount. Doctor Pollard ' s Physical and Doc Rhyne ' s German begin to show the future chemist how complicated the realm of the unknown can become. Yet, if he should survive the three years required to become a candidate for graduation, the student can enter his last year feeling that he has the best training available. If he can manage to get past another year of Dr. Schirmer and Dr. Carodemos, then he can feel that he well deserves the sheepskin that he has struggled so long to acquire. J te conauere To Dr. H. L. Hunter, Dean of the School of Chemistry, falls the task of expanding the school into its new building.
