Persian were also offered to students in connection with the Far and Near Eastern programs inaugurated by the SPIA. The Department of Military Science made great revisions in its program to accommodate both accelerated and normal stu- dents. In addition to academic requirements, Seniors in the advanced course were required to pass a rigorous physical test including swimming, life saving, and successful negotiation of the obstacle course constructed during the summer. VVith a greater percentage of the Freshman Class than ever before headed towards a B. S. in E. and A. B.'s in various reserve programs taking as many technical courses as their programs would allow, the School of Engineering and the natural sciences faced the busiest year in their history. The Astronomy Depart- ment is typical of the year's trend as it instructed many Navy V-7 men in the science of Marine and Air Navigation. The Biology Department has grown from a series of lectures on comparative anatomy in 1795 to a large and well-equipped depart- ment able to carry on research in many fields which are of service to the government. Courses in biological science include morph- ology, bio-chemistry, physiology, genetics and evolution. Pre- medical men who don't enter the Biology Department can usually be found in the Chemistry Department. ...G- .

PROFESSOR H S TAYIOIR The work of the Geology Department was curtailed by the forced abandonment of Summer School of Geology which formerly conducted a tour through the Rockies and the Far West. However, the normal number of courses were offered and field work was done in the Delaware Water Gap and points of geological interest in New Jersey. The Mathematics Department added several elementary math courses in an effort to prepare students for army and navy calcu- lation. Mathematics 108b, which combines an introduction to coordinate geometry with differential and integral calculus, was instituted for first year engineers. Optional lectures were given on the slide rule and special math courses made available to those wishing them immediately for government service. The Physics Department naturally works in very close cooperation with the Department of Mathematics, those of its departmental majors selecting to do theoretical work in physics drawing many courses from the latter department. Many students from other depart- ments took courses in elementary physics this year in connection with naval reserve programs. To Eno Hall the Psychology Department attracts students from all departments, .Psychology 201-202 dealing with normal and abnormal psychology being one of the 111OSt popular courses 19
