Biology Department The Department of Biology offers eighteen courses in the Life Sciences, Plant Science, and Ani- mal Science. Earth Science is also housed in this department. Two courses in Geology are offered now, with Paleontology being added in 1965. In spring of 1964, the Biology Department receiv- ed a National Science Undergraduate Equipment Grant in the sum of $16,230.00. The new equipment purchased with ths grant adds greatly to the teach- ing of our laboratory courses and furnishes students first hand experience in handling the latest scienti- fic equipment which better prepares them for their careers in teaching or graduate school. Efforts are made to give students every opportunity to pursue individual study and research beyond the regular lecture-laboratory type of course work. The faculty of the department is encouraged to do independent research. Dr. Miller has a number of publications dealing with research he conducted while in Tucson, Arizona. Dr. Lazaruk received two research grants from the Piedmont University Cen- ter for studies of Chlorophyta in North Carolina fresh waters, and the effects of minerals on algal growth. Dr. Wm.

Chemistry Department Education cannot now be considered complete without an understanding of science and its role in modern society. The methods of science demand a logic and accuracy of reason- ing not found elsewhere. The Chemistry and Physics departments have coordi- nated their two curricula in order to make students more aware of the interplay of the sciences and to recognize the integral part they play in society. For students who wish to major in Chemistry, the curri- culum is comprehensive and thorough and conforms to the minimum standards of the American Chemical Society. The student majoring in chemistry may, upon graduation, be employed in one of the many phases of industry or may en- ter graduate school for further study. Since scientific information is about doubling every ten years it is becoming less and less possible for an individual to absorb a significant amount. The major in science is en- couraged to develop the ability to think and reason in care- fully chosen areas rather than attempt to assimilate gross amounts of material. He is encouraged to analyze, under- stand and adapt to change rather than be confined by his memory. Dr. E. O. Cumminus Department Head Dr. Evan Morgan :•
