the botany building The Sciences . . . they fashion hen the atom bomb Erst cast its mushroom- ing shadow over our world, few of us under- stood the enormous strides science had been tak- ing behind our backs. Now we face the realizae tion that Our times are revolutionary even in a revolutionary age of science. We see in LIFE: ilToday, in its laboratories the U. S. Navy is readying itself to Eght a modern, three-dimen- sional form of warfare. . . .7' TIME reports on a supersonic yaw , a new peril for jet pilots. Rockets to the moon, something we envisioned as youngster fans of Buck Rogers, would hardly surprise us today. Alleged germ warfare in Korea made only a temporary splash. XVe hear of small Baby A-bombs being tested in the deserts of the western United States. White Sands, New Mexico, and Oak Ridge, Tennessee, are names no longer strange to us. And this superhcial familiarity with science- what has it done for us? A fear of ourselves as products of a scientiEC age grips us. That fear arises from our pitiful ignorance of the vast potentialities of peaceful progress that science offers us. New methods in surgery, experiments in physiology laboratories, atomic knowledge used for the improvement, not the obliteration, of mankindethese things do not receive the publicity they deserve in a seience-minded age. Professors of the science department at Goueher study and examine and corroborate the studies of their colleagues in order to present their knowledge and ideals to Goueher students. The hope of the science departments of Goucher Col- lege is that their students will hnd full expression for their knowledge and training. The hope of all Goucher in this year 1951-52 is that the mushrooming shadow will cast a brighter lighter shadow over a healthier, happier world.

Embryo Scientists at Work Agile of mind and hand, young scientists at Goucher explore the world of the laboratory. They study man in relation to his environment and they enrich their studies with enlightening discussion groups. With an eye always on ad- vances in medicine and related Eelds outside the campus, these students work on problems pre- sented by many excellent professors and Speakers. Dr. Helen Taussig of Iohns Hopkins University came to the college this year to discuss the ttblue- baby operation. The students and professors who study at Woods Hole bring back exciting data of the world of science. Chemistry, Physics In the foreground, left to right: C. Wagner, Oi Cohn, B. Smith, I. C.

Gustafson. 10 and Math Clubs In order that students interested in Chemistry, physics, or mathematics may become informed of recent investigations in science, applications of scientific principles in industry, and opportuni- ties for work in the held of science, these three clubs plan varied activities. Field trips to plants, meetings where prominent speakers discuss cer- tain aspects of science with authority, and discus- sion groups of students are only a few examples.
