'fourteen 1-nz BIOLOGY D15PAR'rMENT teaching staff for many years consisted of three men. In recent years the staff has been enlarged to five men. The need for the increase was two-fold. First, the increased enrollment in the college was reflected in somewhat larger classes in the department, and, second, it was desired to reduce the teaching responsibilities of the staff so that more time could be devoted to research and literary work. Approximately four hundred students are enrolled in the ten courses taught in the department. The majority of them are pre-healing art students with a small percentage aiming to continue study of some biological Held in graduate school. One hundred and two Juniors and Seniors are currently majors in the department. Better than eighty per cent of this group are pre-medical students. Each year Franklin and Marshall sends thirty-five to forty students into the medical schools of the nation and Hfteen to twenty students into dentistry. In the past thirty years more than a thousand alumni of the college have entered the medical profession and more than four hundred have entered the dental profession. Research is being conducted by all members of the department staff. The subjects being studied at the moment involve plant tumors, cellular chemistry, bacterial metabolism and the physiological basis of embryonic malformations. Last year three papers recording work of members of the staff were published in the biological literature. Funds to support this research have been received from a number of sources. In all probability there are few institutions of either college or university size which can surpass the department of biology in the amount and value of its teaching equipment. The optical and visual aid equipment alone is valued in excess of one hundred and ten thousand dollars. The department labora- tories are operated on the open basis which means that the equipment is avail- able to the student for class work and independent study at any hour of the day.
