LEFT 'ro RIGHT: Bobmvntiwfi, chemnqton, Hynek. Professor Bobfovmkolf HSTROIIOIIW The word moon should bring to our minds more than a picture of two figures with hands entwined, gazing at each other with the rapture which spells ro- mance. And a blow on the head should not be necessary to enable us to see stars, but we should notice and have some understanding of actual stars and other phenomena in the celestial spheres. The astronomy department tries to accomplish this end and to develop a scientific attitude. Research, the main line of which is spectrophometry, is the most important activity of the professors in the department. BOTHIW Plants on the desk! Plants in the jars! Plants everywhere but in the ground, seems to be the motto of the Botany department. At least one would think it the creed of the department to see the way the student assistants, under Miss Robinson's able management, dole out the Botanical wonders each day in the laboratory period. ln these experimental labs the students are guided by the manual which Professor O'Neal has written and which he revises regularly in order to give his students an understanding of, and first hand information about plant life. Professor O'Neul LEFT TO RIGHT: Robinson, O'Neul.

0 f - vt - ff f Co-Application Faculty Meeiiflq Students at Ohio Wesleyan are fortunate in being privileged to enjoy informal relationships with the faculty. Not only are the classes kept small, but each student has many opportunities to meet his professors informally outside the classrooms. The high ranking that Ohio Wes- leyan holds among schools of its size is due in great part to the efficiency of its faculty. The many alumni who have gone out to make excellent records in graduate schools or busi- ness are overwhelming in their praise of the faculty at their alma mater. Some of the same professors who taught our mothers and fathers are still carrying on in their classes as they did then.

Professor Rice Z00l0GV If the Zoology museum on the third floor of Merrick Hall gives you a thrill, you will be even more fascinated by the living frogs and tadpoles in the laboratory downstairs. Whether you are working toward the high goal of medicine or nursing, or merely struggling to fulfill your science require- ments, Zoology holds an interest for you. Courses in Anatomy, Embryology, and Heredity and Evolution offer further training for future Men in White. Students in this department will long remember the training in punctuality they have received in zoo courses, for it is the policy of the professors to take attendance the second the bell rings. During the early part of this year, Professors Hahnert and Conger ably held the fort until Dr. Rice's return to his regular position as head of the department. STANDING, left to right: Hqhnertf Conqer. Cooper. GEOLOGV Have you ever picked up a stone, wondered vaguely what kind it was, and then thrown it away without thinking anymore about it? Or do you ever wonder what Delaware looked like in the year one million B.C.? WOuldn't you like to know how the different changes came about? The GSOIOQY Department will teach you much about stones and Delaware, Gnd much information about the different kinds of earth, rocks, and sedi- ments is absorbed as well. The students gain valuable knowledge on field trips which are taken along the river to study geological phenomena. And did you know that the Wesleyan campus has rnany interesting geological formations which other colleges come to study? The next time you pick up a stone, don't drop it, but think of Geology, and remind yourself to take an interesting and constructi-ve course. Professor Cooper
