The Wesleyan Chemical Society is an organization whose membership is open to all students interested in the field of chemistry. The program designed to acquaint students with die attitudes and activities of professional chemists. There are no dues. The Society finances its activities through the sale of the HANDBOOK OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS. The Society elects an executive council consisting of a president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, student council representative, publicity chairman, and display case chairman, as its governing body. Since 1959 the Society has been chartered as a student affiliate chapter of the American Chemical Society. Prospective chemistry majors are eligible to become student members of the national organization. Each year the Society and the chemistry department sponsor two visiting chemists of national reputation. These men lecture to chemistry and other selected classes, speak in assembly (Dr. Otto Eisenschmmel was such a speaker) and to the Wesleyan Chemical Society, and conduct seminars and conferences. 118

Beta Beta Beta, appearing on the campus of Iowa Wesleyan College in 1926, is a national honorary society for students of the biological sciences; it is an affiliated society of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. It emphasizes a three fold program: stimulation of sound scholarship; dissemination of scientific knowledge; and promotion of biological research. Two types of membership are offered in Tri-Beta: Provisional and Full membership. Formal inductions are held twice a year ... at the beginning of each semester. Dr. Poulter and Mr. Millspaugh are the advisors for this fine scientific organization on this campus. Dr. Jaques, professor Emeritus of Biology, gives Beta Beta Beta a banquet.

The Math-Physics Club was organized on this campus for die stated purpose to increase knowledge and sustain interest in mathematics and physics. This is done by a variety of means. One of these is the regular monthly meetings at which a business session is held followed by a formal presentation of some selected topic by a visiting professor, student speaker, or a film. Each week the organization sponsors a coffee hour for students and science faculty at which an open and informal discussion on any topic is held. The organization has also gone on several interesting field trips, some lasting a full day others for an afternoon. The Math-Physics Club at the end of each semester selects one of its members to receive the Mathematics Excellency Award which carries a $100 monetary gift from an anonymous donor. Mr. Krehbiel and Mr. Edie are the sponsors of the Math-Physics Club. MATH-PHYSICS CLUB: ROW ONE: T. Taylor, D. Peterson, R. Jackson, B. White, M. Rukgarber, ROW TWO: L. Liendcr, J. Decker, C. Honhold, ROW THREE: Mr. Edie, P. Engstrom, T. Smith, O. Primcvcra, F. DcLucia, J. Eckwald, K. Murphy, Mr. Krehbiel. 119
