These courses are designed to contribute to the information and culture that are essential to leadership of the best elements in American life. By acquainting the student with the development of religious consciousness as manifested in other religions, as well as Christianity, and by the scientific study of the Bible and practical courses in Religious Education, this department aims to furnish college students with training for intelligent co-operation with the most advanced endeavors for the upbuilding of moral and religious character in any community.

Certain people derive great pleasure in knowing the laws underlying these occurrences, and in thus being able to explain them. To such the study of Physics is a pleasure. The students in Physics have considerable practise in accurate and logical thinking. Data are either collected in the laboratory, or giveng then the student, by applying known laws with careful argument, proceeds from the known and Hnally arrives at the unknown. By this practise ability to make accurate deduc- tions from known facts is greatly increased. Such ability is of inestimable value throughout life, no matter what the Field of one's activity.

Department of Geology and Mineralogy AWRENCE College presents exceptional advantages for the study of ge- ology for several reasons Science hall contains a large museum with ex- tensive collections of rocks, minerals, ores and fossils, all of which furnish indis- pensable materials for thorough work in geology. . There are many opportunities for students who specialize in geology. These include positions on the U. S. geology Su-rvey, the department of Agriculture, Weather Bureau and other branches of government service. Ph. D. Department of Chemistry 'HE aim of the department of Chemistry is to devise ways and means for the entrapping of atoms and molecules, with the ultimate intention, when a sufhcient number have been caught, to distribute them as mementos to the alum- ni and other students who have been at Lawrence. We have been very successful so far in our collections and many very agile ones have been bottled. As soon as the collection is complete, the distribution is to begin. lt is hoped that these notably subtle and evanescent ultimate units of the world of creation will not only be a reminder of the required courses of science at Lawrence, but also will help, by their abundant internal energy, to speed Lawrencites to even greater activitiy out in the cold, cold world.

The department thus seeks to emphasize, not isolated facts, but institutional development, continuity relations, meaningsg not provincialism, but world out- look. While insisting upon a thorough grasp of the political evolution, the aim is also to present a synthetic picture of the civilization, culture, and inner life of the people, The department also undertakes to train the student in critical insight, his- torical method, and to give him an elementary knowledge of some of the more important historical sources in each field.
