Measurable j improvements have been achieved, including major additions of basic sources to subject book collections, expanded holdings of current and ' back journals, and expanded reference staffing and services. Plans for the immediate future also include development of a selected collection of musical and literary recordings together with listening facilities for A their use and reorganization of the library book collections to an open stack system for all users to further increase ease and efficiency of li- brary use for the college community. Also during 1962 and 1963 the department has been reviewing its entire curriculum and curricular programs. Improvements Within the we library science teaching field program will include some changes in r course offerings and coverage as well as further strengthening of aca- demic standards and requirements. The department is also preparing a more effective and better articulated pre-graduate program for stu- dents not in the teacher education program, but interested in librarian- ship as a professional career.

ANDREW HARRISON MONTGOMERY Chairman of Division of Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics M.S., Iowa State College CARL HARRISON BAILEY, Associate Professor of Mathe- matics, M.A., West Virginia University, MARY EDNA BEC- KETT, Instructor in Mathematics, M.A., West Virginia Uni- versityg LUCILLE DUNLAP BIRD, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, M.A., West Virginia Universityg WILLIS DEAN HILL, Assistant Professor of Physics, M.S., University of Vir- ginia, EDWARD JACKSON JOHNSON, Instructor in Mathe- matics, M.Ed., University of Virginia, EDGAR BOYD SIM- MONS, Instructor in Mathematics, A.M., Duke University. Dividon of Cloemzktry Playszks and Matloematzkf If the legislature is kind, this division hopes to add two additional staff members for next year: One in Physics and one in Mathematics. Neither is in sight, yet. Each department in this division modified its cur- riculum to some extent this past year. Q11 Chemistry, 101, the introductory course was greatly modified by the inclusion of considerable organic chemistry and biochemistry and the de- letion of many mathematical problems. C21 Physics, 101, the introductory course, was also considerably changed. It is now a survey of the principles involved in all the major branches of physics. QBJ Mathematics 100 has been replaced by Mathe matics 100A and 100B. Both of these courses are now required of elementary teachers. They stress the modern approach to arithmetic, algebra, trigo nometry and plane and analytic geometry.
