Crv 9Xe PIKEX PEAR NUGGE n i n e. r e: e n U N DRE D I 1=3 T Department of Geology The Geology Department of Colorado College has successfully continued in its great strides of improvement. The department, headed by Professor I. A. Keyte, has outdone all its previous records for rapid growth and expansion. Geology has long had wide practical application, but it is particularly since the advent of the combustion engine and the resultant development of the petroleum industry that it has sprung into major prominence. Not to be surpassed, and ever on the outlook for innovations, Prof. Kbyte the Colorado College Department of Geology has kept up to the minute, with the result that it today offers as fine a course in this field as any college in the country. Department of Biology Ranking as one of the finest in its line the Depart- ment of Biology of Colorado College offers excellent courses for pre-medical training and biological work of all kinds. The department is well equipped with appar- atus and offers many courses dealing with plant and animal life, from General Biology to Research Problems in Biology. Biology, aside from the training along its own line, is excellent for developing sound thinking, training the powers of observation, and imparting knowledge of the fundamentals of right living. More and more possibilities are unfolding for workers in this line, and the openings for the trained biologist are becoming innumerable. Prof. Gilmore B William V. Lovitt Ph.

Department of Chemistry During this scholastic year the Chemistry Depart- ment has probably installed more new pieces of laboratory equipment than any other science department. Out- standing among these are: a hydrogen-sulphide generating apparatus, a reflectoscope, two new pyrometers, and electrical apparatus for the Physical Chemistry laboratory, besides equipment for use in the general laboratory. Several research problems are occupying the atten- tion of majors and instructors in this field, notably those concerning reduction of ores by means of platinum, low tem- perature carbonization of coal gas from fuel in this region, and the manufacture of gas. The latter experiment is being carried on in conjunction with the City Gas Department. Prof. Douglas Department of Physics The Physics Department, under the supervision of Professor Boucher is entirely in keeping with the forward looking policies of the College. During the last ten years, thirty-five or forty students have graduated with a major in the Department of Physics and Electrical Engineering. Of this number, twenty-six have done at least one year ' s graduate work in physics, and there are at the present time fourteen men and women pursuing graduate courses in seven of the larger universities. The prospects are favorable that all those who graduate this June will be placed either in teaching fellowships or in industrial positions. P rof. Boucher Rebekah M. Hartness A.

T T A R NUGGET DF?EID TMIRTN- ru Department of Forestry The Colorado School of Forestry was established as a department of Colorado College in 1905 by General William J. Palmer and Dr. W. A. Bell through their generous gift to the College of Manitou Park. The Park was originally composed of 10,000 acres of farming and timber lan d. Since, however, nearly 4,000 acres of the agricultural land have been sold to further increase the endowment of this department. The Park is ideallv Proi Pari i i situated in the heart of the Rockies and adjacent to the Pike National Forest Reserve. In addition to the tech- nical and scientific training, a student of this department is taught to love the outdoors, and how to take care of and handle himself in it. Department of Engineering During the past year the Department of Engineering has shown a greater comparative increase in its enrollment of students than any other department in the College. This increase has been heartily supported by the Depart- ment through its improvements and additions to the equipment used. The remodelling of the forge depart- ment with the addition of a new fan has been of great benefit. In this department a student may obtain a degre e of Bachelor of science with a major in Civil, Electrical, or Chemical Engineering. Graduates of these courses are well prepared for their work of the future, and are highly by fellow competitors. Howard M. Olson M. S., California Physics Gordon Parker Manus Roizen M. F., Harvard M.
