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

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.

5 l immons College Nurses- rom The Simmons nursing cap, designed by a ibrmer student, has appeared this year on all the battlelronts of the world, on Army and Navy oflicers and Red Cross nurses, at emergency relief centers: in operating rooms, in nursing lecture-halls. It repre- sents a high achievement. Simmons nurses receive their B.S. and R.N. only after five years ol' work. To Freshmen, it seems a terrific dose, but fourth- and filth-year students End time almost too short for all their studying and practical work. College lite is in order for the first two and a half years, with emphasis on the sciences and psy- chology, and with six weeks of summer work at the Peter Bent Brigham and the General, Then, at midyears, Nursing School Juniors are formally capped at the traditional candlelight cere- mony, and leave the college to train in hospitals for two solid years- at the Boston Lying-In lor maternity cases, the Children's Hospital for pediatrics, the McLean for psychiatry. The nurses come back to Simmons lor the second semester olitheir filth year, and get their B.S. Finally, after two months ol' public health ser- vice in Boston's poorer districts, they are awarded the R.N. Simmons has graduated superior nurses since IQI8, emphasis shifting in 1934 lrom specialization in Public Health work to every phase ol' the proiession. Practically every one ofthe avail- able nurses is now serving in the armed iorces or on the ho1ne lront, in spite of the fact that the marriage mortality is high in this school. Student nurses, p1'obies, and graduates are united in an af- I 1lon't want lo get well. 'IVE 1201 bark EiCikElil1VL'lZllL l 1 , vi: 3, Mgt-'. ' .,..,e:f 131539:- ' , ' 4-7?
