The two hundred-fifty A. S. T. P, students recently stationed here received extensive training in mathematics, physics and chemistry, The increased enroll' ment called for an increased faculty in these departments, Professors Van Zyl and Kleinheksel were assisted in their work in the chemistry department by Mr. Visser They were kept busy dealing with such things as minor explosions. foul smelling concoctions and multi-colored gases. The Army's presengineering course called for most extensive work in physics and Professor Kleis was aided by Mr. Geerlings and Mr. NX'assink. Most any day at all they could be seen outlining the principles which will someday help to construct a road or build a bridge. Seldom have days been as full and busy as this year was for the Mathematics department. Professors Lampen, Timmer and Vander Borgh found Mr. Tuls and Mr. Dalman an added help in instructing the men as regards those confusing angles and x's. Despite military priorities Civilian students by no means, have been neglected and Professor Vergeer's biology courses were extremely popular this year. Both beginning and advanced students have been initiated into the Llse of the scalpel in minor clisections. and used the departments excellent equipment on other varied and interesting experiments, Wlartime living demands that everyone improve his abilities and talents so as to be able to use them in the highest service to his country. The students of '4-4 worked long and hard preparing themselves and helping to keep the sciences at Hope College on as high a level as in previous years, XVhen the men come back again they will find an excellent department wait- ing for them. v X X X X Q Q .v v v, X fs, we ' vs vs Xs s , ax so A W e ' - X '- fill N .. e - S 4 , s 5 Q y K Q .ss S v N91 X Q .
