Defense industries are calling for trained chemists and physicists. Therefore, the chief objective of the Physical Science Department this year has been to qualify its students for these vital positions. Three majors are now working with DuPomLeL. D. Frashier, L. E. Pryor and Tulon McRighr 0nd one, Wayne Hemingway, in the Ford laboratories. Others are rapidly prepar- ing for similar work Three chemistry majors have been engaged in private investigations. Louis Green and Wayne Hemingway have studied rates of diffusion in silica gels and among other results have obtained some remarkable crystals and rhythmic bonding Kern Sears has also worked On Liesegang rings, studying especially the rhythmic condensation of water vapor when cer- tain mixtures of hydrogen and air are burned Mechanics, heat, light, sound, and electricity were studied in Physics. Dr. Charles Chapman Snow, genial head of the department, is calm, unhurried, and efficient. The soul of gentleness, he can show a pupil c: mistake without deflating his ego too much His appearance is invariably neat and he is faithful in the smoilest details of any work he undertakes. Believe it or not, Dr. Snow will be found in his spare time in the kitchen making tempting pastries or outdoors beautifying his lawn. Puerto Rico was the scene of a few years of Dr. Snow's teaching career. Curiously, it was there that he met Mrs. Snow, a fellow American teaching in the same school. Vire ginia is his native home and its venerable William and Mary College, his Alma Mater. Serving as laboratory assistants and part-time instructors under Dr. Snow this year were Louis Greeht Kern Sears, and Ernest Salners.
