Science stimulates curiosity and satisfies it. It solves vital problems and raises new ones, thus promoting active mental progress, and through it the world becomes infinitely more meaningful, hence more mysterious. As the child grows physically, mentally and spiritually, science continuously provides new experi- ments, new and more interesting adventures. In Beta Phi Chi, the Sam Houston Science Club, future science teachers, chemists, technicians, engineers and doctors find time to explore their probable life work, and hobbyists here build the foundation for joyful use of leisure. The growth of science clubs everywhere points definitely to a rapidly widening movement of youth in this direction. The Texas Academy of Science now has a Collegiate Division made up of Texas college science club members. Fin!
