universal compositions and measurements Math is making its debut as Sister Helen Marie adds hght color, and glamour to once dull and unattractive trapezoids, rectangles, parabolas, and ellipses. --f---gf v -,Q .W - Marlene Jurschak and Jane O'Rourke convince every- one that a ride in the elevator of the Science Hall adds a modern accent to the ancient art of conversation. Sister Mary Mechtilde reveals a touch of romance in chemistry as she displays the shimmer of a bubbling waterfall from the emergency eye-bath and and shower. W. E 1 vis.

,, s md l, .... Science researches Logarithms, carbon-carbon bonds, and chemical equilibrium represent a world of suspense and intrigue for Saint Mary scien- tists. Teachers, as well as students, become involved in the limitless fields of math, medical technology, and chemistry. This year the subject material of sets received the attention of mathematicians in a modern math course for elementary teachers. Students of calculus, finite math, as well as modern math, place special on structural mathematics. emphasis For those in the finite math, however, remain the perplexing there still problems of probability. Donned in white lab coats, medical technicians and chemists assumed the un- usual role of explorers as they became oriented to the facilities of the new labora- tories and classrooms of the Science Hall. Dazzled and amazed, they discovered labora- tories complete with vacuum steam, and gas. Instructors and students of organic and inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, quantitative analysis, and physics proudly exercise laboratory skill and dexterity in the use of new and better equipment. Altogether, an atmosphere of enthusi- asm and interest in the natural sciences has been added to the Saint Mary campus. The glimmer of a florence flask is matched only by the gleam in the eyes of Sister Mary Callista as she demon- strates the versatility of a gas hood to students.

It is man's finest creation for the in- vestigation of nature, and it is invaluable in helping man understand and master his physical world.

A leaf su gests Busy and happy describe biolo ists of the College of Saint Mary campus, fir they now occupy first floor of the Science Hall. New laboratories provide ample room for any growing plant including the healthy phaseolus vulgaris or common green beans grown for experimentation by the general biology class. Our biologists not only limit themselves to the plant kingdom but also focus their attention on the animal world. A new animal laboratory provides a home for the willing and lovable experimental animals. The combined laboratory facilities of botany and zoology enable students to explore the fields of microbiology, general biology, physiology, and anatomy. At present the biology department ful- fills a two fold purpose--the preparation of students in the area of teaching and in the area of research and laboratory science. Sister Mary Teresina has devoted her- self to the former area of preparing stu- dents for teaching biologicalscience of both secondary and elementary levels. This task involves a study of new trends in the teaching of biology.
