Associate Professor Beatrice Beyer Williams Head of the Department of Art The general foundation offered art students includes courses in drawing, perspective, mechanical drawing, design, lettering, and the history of art. Advanced work may be grouped under these general heads: design, in- terior decoration, stage craft, painting, composition, figure sketching, commercial drawing, and a course for training teachers. The instructors in the Department are: Miss Helen Thrush, M.A., and Miss Emma Keis, M.A. 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 appendage 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 thsy had been taking. At present two people are employed full time in the teaching of Bacteriology. The other instructor is Miss Elizabeth Griffing, M.S. Professor Herman Kuez, M.S., Ph.D. Head of the Department of Botany The various courses in Botany deal with plant reactions, anatomy, iden- tification, life histories and so on. As in other biological sciences oppor- tunity is given to discover or verify facts of life as shown by plants. Botanical work therefore offers training in the scientific method of ap- proach as applied to animate things. Since plants take such an important place in our surroundings the cultural and practical value of Botany must be and is made apparent. 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 Schornherst, M.S. Professor Leland Judson Lewis, M.A., Ph.D. Head of the Department of Chemistry The Department of Chemistry offers courses in general, analytical, or- ganic, physiological, and physical chemistry. These are designed to give the students the essentials of a fundamental science. The work of the most outstanding contributors to chemical science is stressed. Graduate courses leading toward a Master ' s degree are offered. The staff has been fortunate in keeping in touch with the local and national sections of the American Chemical Society and is thereby familiar with the recent ad- vances in this field. The instructors in the Department are: Miss Isabel McKinnell, M.S.; Miss Gertrude Vermillion, M.A. m mmmmmmm immmm nineteen hundred and thirty-four asaagafa Page twenty-nine
