Round about the cauldron go, In the poisoned entrails throw.” Is this the type of sorcery that occurs in the second story cham- bers of the Eastman Building? Even students unacquainted with the Chemistry Department know that the experiments never reach these fantastic heights? However, from its long association with the weird and cryptic, this subject seems to be an unexplainable mystery to most people. Students of chemistry are pictured as mad geniuses dressed in long white coats and possessing an inimitable ghoulish laugh. In theory, their experiments are merely stabs in the dark, accompanied by evil odors and overflowing test tubes. Is this the true story? Hardly! The bubbling is just a boil, and most of the materials are rather tame. The students are just like the rest of us; they enjoy the same basketball games, wear the same argyles, and argue in the same lounge. Certainly the future chemist’s studies aren’t a natural medium for fun, but somehow, somewhere, some fertile mind devises a new and original twist to the subject at hand and the hours don’t seem so long after all. Industrial Chemistry is not the only member of the Chemistry family, for a new addition, called Medical Technology, has recently come to stay at R.I.T. The biologists have barraged their lab with all sorts of live or once alive specimens. They arc fortunate in having Oscar S. Kelton, the thin gentleman in the corner, as silent guardian over their trusty microscopes. And thus do the chemists mix and the biologists peer. If you hear some mumbling under their breath, it’s probably nothing more than: Thirty Double, double, toil and trouble, f ire burn and cauldron bubble ” CHEMISTRY FRESHMEN
