Science School Offers Varied Courses To Its Students c One of the most ancient of man's pursuits to better himself and his world has been in the field of science. The ever-changing chemical and phys- ical concepts of the things that surround us offer great challenges to the individual in learning what has been proven. The Purdue School of Science endeavors to prepare its graduates to meet and conquer this challenge of science. A shining ex- ample of learning and searching is seen in Dean YV. L. Ayres, who besides capably managing the affairs of the school, was recognized last year by the editors of '6VVho's lVho in VVho Knows and WVhat for his work on topology, real functions. and ballistics. The School of Science provides both introduc- tory and advanced courses in the various branches of science and liberal arts subjects. In pre- pharmacy, pre-medical, and pre-dental curricula a student receives a firm background for his more advanced study. After an intense four years of study in bacteriology a student is qualified for highly paid, challenging positions in laboratories and research stations. Other students who are interested in the more specialized fields such as chemistry, mathematics, or physics have involved programs which provide a strong understanding of the selected subject of study. All science is not conducted in a laboratoryg the king of all sciences is the science of living For those students inte1'ested in liberal arts, the new liberal science curriculum has been organized. This curriculum is especially designed for students of exceptional ability who desire a broad cultural education with an emphasis upon the contribu- tions of the sciences to the modern world. One of the special features of the course is the stressing of the social implications of developments in the fields of science and the relationship between the natural sciences and other fields of culture. Con- centration in English, history, economics, govern- ment, mathematics, modern languages, education, sociology, psychology, and the natural sciences can be arranged through the directors of the school. After four years of study, a Bachelor of Science degree is awarded to both the students of the laboratory sciences and the liberal-science- arts curriculum. 28 Always time for a horse laugh even in a somber bio lab Hmmm-too many electrons.
