Chemistr lub Between test tubes, beakers, bunson burners, and scales, the faces of chemistry students peer forth lighted with that fanatical joy that character- izes the discovery of an unknown. With the aim of furthering the knowledge of chemistry applied commercially and industrially, the Chemistry Club activities included a number of lectures and tours. Trips through the Alabas- tine Paint Company and the Sewage Disposal Plant and lectures by such speakers as Dr. Smith from the University of Michigan were 'both inter- esting and educational. Then, too, the Club had an active social life which began with a picnic at Mr. Dow's home and ended with the annual Chem. Club-Home Ee. Ban- quet and the Chemistry Club Banquet. Mr. Doane and Mr. Dow, chemists superior, have infused into the members the true aims of the organization this year and they are to be congratulated on the fine job they have done. Q. . President . .
