The Department of Biology is organized to meet the needs of a varied group of students. We attempt to offer fundamental courses which are standard in other colleges, as well as special work for our own students. Students found in the various courses include those who are majoring in Biology: those who choose it for its cultural value: those who need it to meet the general college requirements, for certain certificate requirements, supplementing work in the departments of Agriculture, Education, Psychology, Social Sciences: Home Economics, for pre-medical students, etc. The Department of Agriculture aims to train those students who will teach argiculture in the high schools in the elements of agricultural principles and practices. Students also take work in agriculture who do not plan to teach it. Their purpose is the acquisition of a knowledge of agriculture which will make them scientific farmers. The College Farm gives the student an opportunity to apply his knowledge in a practical way. E201

DEPARTMEN' OF PI-IYSICS AND CI-IEIVIISTRV M. WILSON EDMISTON Chemistry Chemistry, Education B.A., Olivet College B.A., Miami University, Oxford, Ohio M.S.,University of Chicago M.A., Ph.D., The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio J. W. HAKE Chairman of Faculty Council, Physics B.S., Central Wesleyan College B.A., University of Illinois I lVl.A., Northwestern University Ph.D., Kansas University The Physics Department and its curricula deals with practically every phase of the field known to the undergraduate school, from the simplest of lever-arm mechanics to the intricacies of the electron theory. The physics classes, all under Dr Hake are quite intriguing interesting and in some cases nearly mystifying especially to the outsider Laboratory work unusually fascinating and there is nothing unusual in hearing music from organ pipes or standard pitch forks or the crackling of high voltage sparks perhaps music from a radio or in seeing strange phenomena produced by Weird electrical apparatus at any time in the physics lab. In the organization of courses Dr Hake has made his department especially suited to the student preparing for later work in engineering not forgetting the student who majors in physics for the purpose of teaching. Particular stress is laid on subject matter dealing with the various divisions of electricity. A four-year und-ergraduate course in chemistry comprises the curriculum of the department of chemistry. Mr. M. W. Wilson is at the head and it has been through his guidance that the department has come to its present organi- zation. R W. Edmiston who also teaches education has charge of the Freshman courses. The chemistry laboratory at the West end of third floor has long been' famous for the nauseating odors of hydrogen sulfide and chlorine with which it some- times floods that end of the administration building. The casual visitor does not need a guide in order to find it. The familiar clinking of test tubes and the detestable but continual washing of dishes furnish a bit of atmosphere to the collegian which will be recollected in many years to come. was :':, 35 IFE-al I: 7639? fur .v 'fx Q1 I Ikrgvk -,Ml . , Q ' 1.7: .. ilu' t, W nf? 1 2' T f' .1 ,. ., 15 I My 1 Easy A , .f ' I 155 I .V w u .IJ ' I I I I 1 I I I E I 1 I I 1 I I I i I i I I I I I I I I I , I r , F' + bw! whim i 'iw
