in Pnge Twenty-eiglzt Academics Queens' unceasing efforts to improve the curriculum culminated this year in many additions and alterations. However, with these changes and with increased en- rollment, the close student-professor relationship has been maintained. Emphasis is placed on individual responsibility and endeavor, thus each student is en- couraged to be creative in her studying. Several departments underwent revisions and addi- tions this year. Possibly the most outstanding addition was in the department of physical science. Queens received a 515,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, to be used in the field of biochemistry. Additional microscopes and laboratory equipment were also acquired. This summer the department of natural science will offer for the first time a course in marine ecology. The nature of this course will be similar to the unique study offered in marine biology, conducted during August at Pawleys Island, S. C., by Dr. jack Fehon and Mr. Alex Marsh, professors of biology at Queens. Other changes were seen in the psychology curricu- lum with the General Psychology course being rede- signed to extend through two semesters and to include a weekly lab period. Other departmental revisions included an inter-departmental seminar in Interper- sonal and Intercultural Relations, new courses and activities in the fields of music, modern dance, history, and physical educationg and a new Queens College Chorus, a supplement to the Concert Choir. These new revisions and additions are indicative of Queens' emphasis on growth in the quality and the number of the courses offered in the curriculum, It is felt that at Queens a young woman receives not only a thorough knowledge of her particular field of interest, but also a liberal education which gives her a broad intellectual basis on which to build her future.
