COLLEGE OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS The College of Chemistry ' and Physics was organized as the Audubon Sugar School with curricula in sugar technology and sugar engineering in 1893. Since the time of its organization, the College has grown steadily. It has a faculty numbering thirty full time people. In addition, there are some 60 graduate research and teaching assistants. The College offers degrees in Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Physics. At the present time, the number of students which we are able to graduate in these fields is less than one-third of the number which could profitably be placed in industrial, academic, and research positions. The College is accredited nationally by all accrediting organiza- tions and has a fine national and international reputation. o T. J. LEMOIN PraUfHt R. A. ALVAREZ. JR. R G. P.
