Ohio University General Mathematics Applied Mathematics Adviser: Bowling Club Mathematics Teachers Taught By using advanced teaching techniques, instructors in the Math- ematics Department found that their efforts were not in vain as students worked to solve problems in simple arithmetic to advanced analytic geometry. With an adequate knowledge of mathematics so necessary to many of today's professions, stu- dents realized that the whys and wherefores of mathem- atics not only prepared them for work in everyday life but also revitalized their interest in engineering and science, Guided by Mrs. Mary Alice King, department chairman, the math instructors sought not only to teach the fundamentals of the courses offered but to interest the students in the various fields and professions i t as it l INDIVIDUAL HELP is given to students by Mr. Edward Engemann in his Math I classes James Lewis Griffis, B.S.

lnstructed in Natural Sciences Richard J. Francuz, B.S. Fresno State College Biology, Physiology Adviser: Science Explorers Harold D. Mclallen, B.S., M.A. Allegheny College, Pennsylvania Arizona State College General Science, Physics, Advanced Physical Science With vivid explanations of some of the hows and whys of the world around them, instructors of the Science De- partment, under the guidance of Mr. Alan Cunningham, acting department chairman, did their best to kindle the imagination of young scientists and to prepare students to approach problems of all kinds in a logical and system- atic manner. Through the general science program, the de- partment intended that each student attain a fundamental knowledge of the natural sciences that will enable him to better interpret his physical and biotic environment. With challenging courses in physical science, general science, biology, physiology, chemistry, physics, and radio-electron- ics to choose from, students were stimulated to pursue science further. A special two-hour per day class in college chemistry was offered this Year to honor students. Incen- tives to learn more about a specialized field were enhanced by individual research and participation in the annual Science Fair, the highlight of the year's science activities. All known methods of instruction were used including labor- atory exercises, lectures, demonstrations, films, proiects, field trips, and club activities.

Methods of Solving Problemsl offered by mathematics. Students with vocational or junior col- lege objectives were required to take general math andfor applied math. Working at a much faster pace, college prepara- tory and pre-university students were offered algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. To kindle their interest further, students were invited to join the Math Club and the Slide-Rule Club. The department adjusted standards to class level and ability in basic courses, while advanced subjects were treated to conform to the requirements of colleges and univer- sities.
