ONLY THE STRONG OF HEART, say Bruce Munch , . , and Thomas Sieminski , . . At the heart of every science is a man witl1 a question. The desire to know the how and the Why of something is an age old desire in man that has resulted in tl1e saving of many a life. To stimulate and to prepare the minds of ques- tioning, interested, or dedicated students, Seton offers the biology and earth science courses. No dissection was ever performed with more interest by anyone, no matter how profound a secret was revealed, than by a ufroshi' biologist viewing for the first time the sinus venosus of a specimen captured from the neighboring fish market. I At the end of a year only his initiation is over. In the race for the search of the unknown, a new branch of a wide frontier is opened up in the next science program, earth science. Stu- dents useen for the first time the great universe of which they are a part. From the galaxies of the universe to the depths of the earth, the ardent seeker finds fascination and enjoyment. While only acting as introductions to future studies, these two courses are nevertheless in- valuable in tl1e intellectual conditioning they provide.

of the study of chemistry. The basic huilding hlocks of todz-1y's complex nucleus are torn apart and examined in their finest state, the atom. Examining the physical and chemical properties, each student formulatcs his own hypothesis from information which he has compounded from various sources. True, these hypotheses seldom hecome accepted laws of chemistry, hut they are needed. They provide the student with the necessary fundamentals for further study, from actinium to zirconium, and indicate to the Wise ohservcr the great scientists of the future.
