CHf misTfiy The recent enlargement of the space facihties of the Department of Chemistry to include the entire second floor of Science Hali has been much appreciated by stu- dents and members of the science staff. Well over two hundred young scientists may now be accommodated in the three laboratories without cr owding. Premedical, predental and prenursing students com- prise the larger part of the departmental enrollment, though there is always a sprinkling of those majoring in agricul- ture, chemistry, dietetics and related lines. While the teaching program must always take first place in a liberal arts college, some emphasis has, through the years, been given to fundamental research in the field of chemistry. Recently, Dr. L. H. Jensen and Prof. J. Chris- tensen have carried such work forward, the former in crystallography and x-ray spectra, the latter in the chem- istry of carbohydrates. In this chemical age, young men and women are taking increasing advantage of the opportunity of studying the way in which nature works, and to assay a deeper under- standing of the immutable laws which summarize the method of its action, for this is certain: Science is based upon our reserveless belief in the consistency of nature, a consistency and orderliness which is but a reflection of the character of nature ' s God who spoke it into being.

Practice teaching is pro- vided in the two training schools — the acad- emy and the elementary school. In this way many weeks of actual class- room experience can be obtained by pro- spective teachers. They learn the application of the theories of teaching and learning which they study in the education courses, and ihey learn to face and solve the problems that arise from day to day in dealing with young and growing minds.
