84 Chemistry Depa rtment Dr. Saul Gordon, Chairman Dr. Raymond Balouny Dr. Ernest Benson Mr. Malcom Sturchio Dr. Clinton Grove Dr. Saul Gordon, Chairman By taking courses such as General Chemistry, Organic-Physical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and a few specialized electives, a stu- dent can graduate from the Madison Campus with a B.A. in Chemistry. Many op- portunities await the graduate. Of previous graduates, approximately one-half have continued their educations in postgraduate study. Schools such as Tulane, Purdue, the University of California, the University of Louisville, the University of Wisconsin, New York State University at Stony Brook, and Rutgers University boast of Madison Campus graduates among their students. And it is not surprising that so many have gone on to graduate schools. Not only does the Chemistry Department here ofter the courses appropriate for entrance, but it also stimulates the interest necessary in motivating the student to continue his education. Undergraduatefresearch programs sponsored by the National Science Foundation, various symposiums, and other departmentaHy arranged activities encourage the Chem-maior to develop an avid interest in his field.
