Chemistry Chemistry students at Lebanon Valley College are vigor- ously schooled in the techniques and principles of modern chemistry. Coupled with a liberal arts educatio n, this training prepares the student for a successful life both as a citizen and a scientist. The department provides students interested in the teaching profession an opportunity to study chemistry and the various techniques of teaching science. Adequate training is also provided for students interested in industrial work, the medical sciences, and advanced study in chemistry. In addition to providing courses which cover well the vari- ous fields of chemistry, this department also offers the student much opportunity for individual experimentation arjd scientific thinking. We at Lebanon Valley College ore very proud of our chemistry department and the outstanding chemists it has pro- duced, realizing full well that it is highly thought of in scien- tific circles. - ' ' Biology The purpose of the biology department at Leb- anon Valley College is to develop an apprecia- tion of man ' s relation to his universe, to acquaint students with those fundamental facts necessary for the proper interpretation of the phenomena manifested by the living things with which they ore surrounded, and to lay a broad foundation for specialization in professional courses in bi- ology. The courses are designed to prepare students for any vocation which is directly related to the biological sciences, including work in the various fields of medicine or the teaching of the biological sciences in high schools, as well as for preparing students for graduate work in colleges and uni- versities. In just this past year Lebanon Valley transferred the Biology department from the Administration Building to its newly renovated quarters in the Science Hall. The numerous research specimens are arranged attractively in several display cases. This, plus the creation of several very modern laboratories, mokes the Valley ' s biology depart- ment one of high esteem among small colleges. Francis H. Wilson, chairman; V. Earl Light and O.

SCIENCES Mathematics This department gives the students interested in the mathematical sciences thorough training in both the classical and modern fields of mathematics. With such training the student is prepared for teaching mathematics on the high school level, for taking graduate work in this SLbject, or for accepting one of the many po- sitions available in the business world wvhere such mathematical knowledge is vitally needed and employed. Much credit is due this department for its continual endeavor to better its curriculum and program, such endeavors being led by its chair- man, Bernard Bissinger. Assisting Dr. Bissinger this year is Paul F. Henning, Jr. Robert J. Wagner, another member of the department ' s teaching staff, is on sabbatical leave this year while pur- suing further studies at the University of Penn- sylvania. Paul F. Henning, Jr., Bernord Bissinger, chairman Samuel O. Grimm, Jacob L. Rhodes, chairman, J. Robert O ' Donnell. Physics The physics department aims to provide an introduction to the techniques and applications of physical science; to give students on insight into the behavior of non-living matter,- to indicate the possible extent, as well as the limitations of our knowledge of the physical universe. This division is able to fulfill its aims by being equipped with some of the most modern and advanced apparatus avail- able to the teaching of the subjects included within its curriculum. Not only does the physics department strive to train young men and women for various vocations which utilize the tra- ditional fields of physical phenomena; but it also attempts to demonstrate to these students the potential available to man- kind today through a study of the recent developments in nuclear and atomic physics.
