' ' •■ ' ► FrofcEEor Shatter proves weather prediction O.K., tliough fickle GEOLOGY AND HISTORY Given the earth and a curiosity for the natural phenomena that are latent in it and the social, economic, and political evolution and revolutions of the men who live upon it, the college student comes to a better understanding of the in- terrelatedness of the resources at man ' s disposal (or to which he must adjust) and of his use of them. The depart- ments of geology and history are necessarily seperated in the college curriculum to give opportunity to probe each more deeply. But the fact remains that the natural re- The lay u( Uie land scanned by surveyors-to-be . . . Squint here sources, the weather conditions, the time zones of the world, the terrain of various countries on the earth are the conditioning factors of much of men ' s actions. The explorations, the exploitations, the competitive or co- operative endeavors, the agricultural or industrial regions demands, the values of each nation — these are the directive forces of the action of nations, the justification or rational- ization of the ambitions of the people living therein. As their studies shed illuminating insight into the rise and domination of nations, the peculiarities and power of their leaders, the weakness that wrought destruction in their midst, they learn the lesson of this panorama of humanity; its foibles and fancies. Professors Van Sickle, Hubbart, and Eells of the History Dept. Idea is A Pound of Fact, an Ounce of Theory ; note that fact. 20

Care to assure no errors in their weight here . . . Precision Plus Discussing Recorded Results: Hypothesis Proved by Experiment CHEMISTRY When a powerful miniature explosion echoes from the in- nermost regions of your clothes closet, and blasts the peace and quiet of your room, and you discover it is only your test-tube-mad roommate trying to brew a few elements on your sandwich grill, then is the time to have a confer- ence with Professors Manuel or Sinnet. The chemistry bug has bitten. From the minute the would-be Pasteurs of Wesleyan wan- der into their initial laboratory and are greeted by a con- fusing maze of florence flasks, cylinders, crucibles, bun- sen burners, and Professor Manuel, they have the chem fever in their blood. Though outsiders may wrinkle their noses and screw up their faces at the nauseating odors that drift from the doorways of Edgar Hall haunts, to the chemist those penetrating scents are just part of the work they love. They proudly display acid stains on their hands as proof of their genuine participation. Tying their rub- ber aprons around their waists, they handle the HCL with the care of any professional. The advanced guard, after the lab and lectures of the in- troductory course, take up quantitative analysis. Here searchers of the truth, build up and tear down products and test for their purity. A typical problem begins with research work in the chemistry library. Our modern miss chemist proceeds with the experiment, testing, weighing, analyzing, and finally concluding with a con- ference on the results. Wherein the why ' s or why-nots of the success of it are discussed with Professor Sinnet. The next rung of the ladder is organic chemistry where the student is concerned primarily with the study of carbon and its compounds; so that the smudge of dirt on the student ' s nose may not be from the sooty smoke of Delaware, but simply a spot of coal dust, rem- nant of an afternoon in the university laboratory. Enthusiastic experimenters, not content with class work alone, participate in the activities of the chemistry class.

-% • ■ m -i»«l ON HILL OVERLOOKING SULFUR SPRING, STATELY MERRICK HALL HOUSES BOTANICAL - ZOOLOGICAL SANCTUARIES. ZOOLOGY The weaker sex wiggles and even the stronger sex squirms, when the first zoology class features their intro- duction to the bulging-eyed-beauties, the bullfrog. The scalpel and scissors, whose use is painfully apparent are tremulously grasped as Professor Hanhert begins an ex- planation of the fine art of dissection. Six weeks later sees competence and serenity in the wield- ers of the wicked scalpels upon the beautiful cadaver of the frog. Progress up the ladder of surveying science secrets the courses of heredity and evolution reveal. The feeling of satisfaction in mastering the formula that shows, red par- ents and white parents in the plant realm have pink off- spring come the third generation . . . it ' s amazing! ' Can this bedlam of bones be stately Homo Sapien , we ask? Yes, assembled it resembles your dieting roomie ' s sleek shape. 21
