PROFESSOR ALBAN STEWART, M.A., Ph.D. Head of the Department of Bacteriology. Bacteriology was introduced at Florida State College for Women about fifteen years ago as an appendage to Botany. When it was started it was not expected that it would ever be more than an ap- pendage to supply the needs of the majors in Home Economics and a few other girls who elected the course. As time went on more and more interest was shown in the subject, so that nine years ago the present course in General Bacteriology was established to meet the needs of the average student more nearly than did the more specialized course which they had been taking. At present two peo- ple are employed full time in the teaching of Bacteriology. The other instructor is Miss Elizabeth Griffing, M.S. PROFESSOR HERMAN KURZ, M.S., Ph.D. Head of the Department of Botany The various courses in Botany deal with plant reactions, anat- omy, identification, life histories and so on. As in other biological sciences opportunity is given to discover or verify facts of life as shown by plants. Botanical work therefore offers training in the scientific method of approach as applied to animate things. Since plants take such an important place in our surroundings the cul- tural and practical value of Botany must be and is made, ap- parent. It will be seen that work in Botany is something more than a mere exultation about flowers. The other instructor in the Department is Miss Ruth Schorn- herst, M.S.
