sX UR Science Department is one oi which to be justlv proud. To he sure Purdue has an enviable reputation tor the teaching ot engineering rather than ot science, but it need onlv be said that the science course besides being exceptionally thorough in itselt , enters largely into the complete study ot engineering. The student in engineering, tor instance, must know chemistry at least partially, and to the sanitary engineer especially is the course offered in sanitary science of great value. But aside from this mere dovetailing into the seemingly more miportant schools, science as taught at Purdue stands out above all competition as the exponent of completeness as to detail and thoroughness of work accomplished. For these reasons large classes are yearly marticulated in the department, and yearly large classes are graduated to honor their alma mater wherever they chance to take up their life work. The science department comprises two divisions: those ot biology and chemistry. Both are comfortably housed in the building known as Science Hall, and both are of recognized importance. The rooms devoted to laboratory purposes are well lighted, roomy and capable of providing room tor large classes. Of special importance to the chemistry division is the new addition with its excellent balance room and increased capacity in every particular. Libraries well stocked with standard text books, and lecture rooms modern in their appointments, are attached. The collections of the biological division arc well arranged and classified, and aid considerably in the work. The sanitary 44

science laboratories are connected with those of the biological division, and are modern in their every particular. The premedical department is also included, and prepares the student admirably tor a higher course in medicine. The department on the w hole extends excellent facilities to those desiring an higher education along these lines of scientific investigation. To those who intend to teach, no better preparation could be desired than that offered here in conjunction with the mathe- matics, literature, history and language, which are the concomitants of the course. For the student desirous of becoming a technical chemist the course in chemistrv should commend itself. To the student looking forward to a career in medicine, the premedical and sanitary science courses should be attractive, for here can be laid the broad foundation needful to the sucessful following of that profession. Science at Purdue is not relegated to the background, nor is it lost in what the biologist is pleased to stvle the struggle for existence. It is modern in every partic- ular, and is surelv coming to be recognized as first in its class under the fostering care of a board of trustees who glimpse its growing importance.
