Dcpartnient of Art and Archaeology PRINCETON ' S Arc and Archaeology Dc partmcnt tcacures largely in the Univers- ity ' s established policy of encouraging students to take electi ' cs in subjects outside their major fields ot study. Since it includes the section of Architecture and the semi-independent section of Music, as well as its own courses in art, the department attracts students sincerely interested in a cultural backgrounii- Many students who do not come to McCor- mick Hall for their electivcs, come for the facilities of the Marquand and record libraries which are open to all. Particularly noteworthy in the department is the interest of the Music section faculty in undergraduate activities — the Orchestra, Glee Club, Choir, and the Concert Series. Backed by the Princctonian, Professor Welch has this year been attempting to secure adequate facilities for the work of the Music section. Present facilities have been rendered insufficient by the recent tremendous increase in the student popularity of these courses.

D cpt. of Astronomy THE Ascronomy Department, iinc nt the smallest in the University, is still the proud possessor ot some of its most valuable equip- ment. The 23 inch telescope lens, ranking still as one of the largest American instruments, is the same one that brought the stars to astrono- mers in the old Halsted Observatory, located where Jolinc now stands. Using this lens, Princeton ' s renowned Astronomy Department has collected valuable data on star brightness and sun spectra. The undergraduate majors in Astronomy, few though they be, have also done valuable work, especially in dex ' cloping formulae regard- ing the beha ' ior ol the sun-spots. Recognising a layman ' s interest in Astronomy, the depart- ment twice a year throws its doors open to any- RusscU Stcw.irt one wanting to see the principle stars with the excellent facilities ot the Observatory. Departmental Faculty T lcmhcrs Henry Norris Russell, Ph.D., D.Sc, Chairman, Di- rector of Observatory, Charles A. Young Professor of Astronomy on the Class of i8gy Foundation; New- ton Lacy Pierce, Ph.D., Instructor; John Quincy Stew- art, Ph.D., Associate Professor; Rupert Wildt, Dr. Phil., I{escarch Associate. Dcpt. of Biology WITH the appointment of Doctor John Mclean to the faculty of the College of New Jersey m 1795 it was announced that he would give lectures in Comparative Anatomy, hi 1797, instruction in Natural History was offered to students as a branch of Natural Philosophy, and in 1S05 the Trustees of the College approved the purchase of a Natural History Collection, said to be the first ever acquired by an American college. With progress through the years modern biology differs from early work in natural his- tory as much as modern Princeton differs from its eighteenth century progenitor. Work in the biological sciences now includes the vast fields of morphology, physiology, bio-chemistry, genetics and e ' olution. Research and teaching in these fields, carried on with ever increasing vigor during the passage of years, has resulted in the development of a Department of Biology at Princeton which is generally regarded as one of the outstanding of its kind in this country. In regard to undergraduate instruction, the primary aim of the Department is to present a course ot study v ' hich v ' ill open to the student some of the broader fields ot biology and, if he chooses the Department for Junior and Senior work, to acquaint him with some of the major problems of the science, hi Senior year each student carries on an investigation of a special problem and on the results of this investigation he prepares a thesis. Not infrequently work on the Senior thesis problem is begun during the summer between Junior and Senior years at a marine laboratory, such as that at Woods r Budcr, Chairnum Harvey Swingle ShuU
