u u Science Division offers the greatest variety of courses in the college curriculum. As well as serving the students enrolled in the divi- sion, it provides basic science courses for the entire college in order that students might have a well-rounded education. Women, who have recently invaded the division, have been given a chance to prove that their ability to blow up a chem lab or chart the path of a star equals that of any man. Under Dean H. V. Gaskill, the division has organized a Department of Statistics and has created a new major in Technical Journal- ism. Keeping astride of the newest scientific advances, the division turns out a group of well-equipped graduates. DEAN H. V.

No matter which phase of Home Eco- nomics a student chooses at Iowa State, it will give her Science with Practice. Whether the college girl wishes to practice science in a professional manner or as a mother and homemaker, she is assured of a sound basis with which to start. Every girl is given basic courses in all nine departments of the division, for the problems a home economist must face are never limited to her specialized field. The whole campus is familiar with the good foods which come from the Hec building, the gay parties that are held in the home management houses, and the humorous adventures that come from the nursery school. u 14

.1 background of chemistry is required for students in Veterinary Medicine. Students try to decide xoliicli one is chocolate. V DEAN H. D. BERGMAN Although the Veterinary Medicine Divi- sion is the smallest and least-crowded on campus, it is the most difficult in which to become enrolled. Normally only 64 first- year students are accepted each year. Stu- dents are chosen largely from the mid western states on the basis of good scholastic record, previous experience, character, personality, and aptitude. The present requirement for admission is one year of prescribed college work, but in 1949 two years of pre-profes- sional study will be required. A record of the division ' s activities is published in its magazine, the Veterinary Stud oil. ia
