Yes, it looks the same, but it’s not the same. It can never be like it was when you were part of it. 31

The many unknown worlds of the microscope present a fascination and challenge that aspirants to the scientific field find diffcult to let go unheeded. To tap this well of knowledge requires training in the fundamentals and the techniques of the scientific. To acquire this training many men and women enter the colleges and universites throughout the world each year. As they become more and more familiar with their work and the secrets of nature are unfolded to them, they realize that as in¬ dividuals they.cannot learn as much as they would if they were banded together in an extra-curricular organization. Here they can meet informally for discussions, and socially to satisfy their obligations as social beings. Since its foundation, these many years, the Mendel Society has progressed very far as a scientific and social organization. It stands today as a link, uniting the theoretical work of the classroom with the practical applications of this theory in every day life. We sincerely hope that future members will keep the society on its high social and academic level. v - C- v vA C V£ e td ' ' ° co x ' S V°° U aQ ' oQ 0 |C N •Soc ' 32
