The scientists of tocla would build Science School students wear what amounts to a uniform- serviceable smocks, often perforated with acid holes, and ker- chiels round their hair. Their course is notoriously utoughw and is extremely important just now, with wartime demands for just such college-trained technicians as Dr. john A. Timm turns out every year. Lab-hungry Freshmen and Sophomores have at least a year's stab at three sciences-chemistry, physics, and biology. If they survive this and enter the junior class, they select a major, choos- ing as their field of concentration organic chemistry or physics and math-test tubes and the smell of hydrogen sulphide, or logarithms and pulley-wheels. Some of the most important courses offered by the school are diagnostics, bacteriology, and courses lor teacher-training in physics. There is special work in haematology and in the old standby, hospital laboratory testing. Courses in the arts and the social sciences are required of Science majors, so that they may receive a well-rounded education. Science school grads donlt stand in waiting lines. The usual procedure is reversed. The prospective employers do the soliciting, by letter, personal interview, and representatives sent to the college. Simmons Science Seniors, like Tech Seniors, usually spend their last semester at school weighing the comparative Inerits ofthe various positions oflered them. Graduates work in research laboratories in colleges, and in federal and private industrial labs.

Graduates ol' this school fill various positions in all parts ol' the country. An1o11g the Zlllllllllllf' can be lound directors olipersonnel, supervisors ofcorrespondence, court reporters, advertising writers, filing experts, and depart1ne11tal heads. The number oil graduates employed by the government, state and federal, is now greater than ever before. NN'ashington, crowded and busy, offers new opportunities daily. Today, Simmons girls hnd it easy to step right i11to a position, a11d what is more, a well-paying one, im- mediately upon receiving their degree. This year tl1ey were given added preparation for work after graduation through a special new course dealing with tl1e eH'ects ofthe war upon employers. Faculty and students meet iniormally and becon1e better ac- quainted at Scribunal Club meeti11gs. This year's club president was Dorothy Cooper. Her assista11ts were Mary Jane lVIcGrath, Vice-Presidentg June Wittfield, Secretary, and Carol Hartiord, Treasurer. The School is the largest undergraduate school at Simmons C163 undergraduate studentsl a11d Scribunal is the largest school club. All the members ofthe group did volunteer work in some war agency during the year. At the annual Christ- mas tea, one of tl1e main events of the year, the girls wrapped cookies and sent them to camps and military centers. Qther club programs were the annual Nlother-Daughter Tea held in April, and a tea at wl1ich a representative of the VVAAC addressed the members.

Even undergraduates have been pressed into service since the war began: they worked in labs during summer vaca- tion, and oIIe Sophomore was employed at the Red Cross blood- donating center all through the year. Science students have so much experience in and out of school that the usual Senior 'Gpractice work is not considered necessary for them. Science students have few free hoursg double-hour discussions and lectures and long sessions with the test tubes take up their time from 8:45 to 4:10. But their lab courses have certain at- tractive features that are rarely found in the regular class meetings ofthe other schools. There is a quiet informality about them, and while four straight hours' work on an experiment may be hard on the feet, one can keep up a certain amount of conversation through it all, and take an occasional trip into the hall, or even down to Show Case. Ellen Richards was the first woman ever to graduate from M.l.T., and her spiritual daughters at Simmons named their school club after her. Some of' the club traditions are unique, especially the banquet given to welcome new members, which is held in a laboratory fslightly de-fumigated for the occasionj and at which food is served in beakers and bottles. Qther meetings of the Ellen Richards Club are less startling, being held in the Lounge, and having a more conventional service. Jeanne Blanch- ard was President this year: the Secretary-Treasurer was Hilda Yee, and the Senior Representative was Gertrude Kirsner. Algeri. Blanchard. Baum H51
