By observation and experimentation, students gain a better understanding of our environment. A new method used in Botany classes this year was a workshop program introduced by Dr, Davidson. By this means, students obtained specific knowledge about a certain group of plants. Likewise, field trips of the campus helped students become better acquainted with their immediate surroundings. rx' A complicated experiment is performed by students fl6lCl.

Long equations and many symbols are used by Jack Coleman and Gene Targosz to solve a problem. More advanced use and application of numbers is the continual goal of students in the Mathematics Department. Learning countless axioms, theorems and principles aid in the organization of mathematical knowledge so that it may be applied in the best means. This involves writing, concentrated figuring and seem- ingly volumes of paper. Becoming familiar with various tools and other aids likewise helps students in their mathematical training. These students are learning how valuable instruments are in physical science.
