T Mathematics Recognition of the excellence of this program has come from many parties. Both Dr. Gumnick and Dr. Weigman have re- ceived grants from the National Science Foundation to work on the conductivity in thin films and the photoelectric effect in thin films, respectively. The Atomic En- ergy Commission has also awarded a grant to build a modern physics laboratory at Loyola. The students themselves received recognition in the form of financial aid to the University of Toledo and Iowa State. Many have already received positions at Westinghouse. Mr. Kammel will leave the department for a position with the govern- ment. Joe C. Bradley Lecturer in Mathematics John Johnson Instructor in Mathematics Francis J. Kammel Instructor in Mathematics

i jAMKS L. GuMNICK Assistant Professor of Physics Chairman, Department of Physics Bernard J. Weigman Assistant Professor of Physics Acting Chairman Department of Mathematics The highlight of the Physics and Math- ematics Departments this year has been the addition of Maryland Hall, so named because of major contributions horn the State of Maryland. The new building has provided not only needed classroom space, but also modern laboratories in advanced physics and engineering courses. The departments themselves have gotten into the spirit of expansion. New labora- tory equipment has been provided, among which are new scintillators, a simulated wind tunnel and a pressure machine which exerts a force of 60,000 lbs. and can pull steel bars apart. The building of a cyclo- tron has also been proposed. ATOMIC BOMBING— Dr. Gumnick presents tlie physical problems of r Higgins prepares to present the ethical problems. Physics and John B.

The trend for the Engineering-Physics Department is growth and development. The seniors in this department have witnessed the erection of the Engineering-Physics building and a revamping of the science cur- riculum. The new laboratories and equip- ment provide the student with an opportu- nity equal to many places with larger en- rollments. The students have done well in return. q Loyola has proudly witnessed the work of 1 the graduating engineers, who have won ! scholarships to Penn State and St. Louis. They have also received important po- sitions in companies which are taking part j in the space race program. SHOP TALK— Mr. DiBiagio explains the Quantum Theory to an interested passerby.
