BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS Dr. M. C. Findlay The Department of Natural Science was organized by Dr. M. C. Findlay in 1892. At that time classes were held in the basement of Mackay with a very meager amount of equipment. With the erection of the Wakefield Science Hall in 1925, the facilities for teach ' ing the different sciences were greatly increased. The courses in the Biology Department are planned to meet the needs of those students who are going to enter medical schools, or who are planning to teach Biology in high schools. Dr. R. A. Rogers It is the purpose of the Physics Department to present material in such a manner that the students may realize the connection between certain fundamental principles and the experiences of daily life. It further trains the student in the methods of phys ' ical reasoning and in the development of logical thought processes. MEMBERSHIP Merlin C. Findlay, A.M., Hamilton College . John R.
