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.

Depo rtment of EducaHon Mr. Albert Hartman, Chairman Dr. Forrest Irwin Mr. William Kidder Mr. William Mason, Jr. Dr. Leon Mones Miss Sarah Wildebush Mr. Albert Hartman, Chairman Elementary and secondary school teachers can graduate with a BS. degree in education or a BA. degree which carries with it certification for teaching in New Jersey and in eleven other eastern states. Teachers in both elementary and second- ary levels have a Student-Teaching or Apprenticeship period of time in a school system within a reasonable distance from the campus. Student-Teaching has been for a period of nine weeks, but plans are being formulated for a more extended period, most probably a full public school semester. During this period, however, students will be taking related courses certain afternoons and evenings that will complement the learning opportunities provided in the Apprenticeship. Extracurricularly, the Department of Education held a program for high school students interested in becoming teachers. Also held was a dinner, sponsored by the Student Educational Association, honoring those Seniors certifying to teach. 85
