UNDER GRANT from National Science Foundation, Harry Kranepool focuses on metabolism of the dino-flagelate. SCIENCE AND MATH CONCLUDED Francis men rendered contributions to atomic research in the person of Dr. Donald Metz. Dr. Metz works at Brookhaven National Laboratories and has travelled extensively in Europe and South America under the aegis of the Atomic Energy Commission. To prepare students for the kind of work now car¬ ried out by the faculty, the Division has constructed an effective scheme of science education. Simply stated, science students are expected to develop material pre¬ sented in lectures into practically applicable methods in the lab. Degrees awarded in chemistry and biology work around this key principle. FRANK RUSSO-ALESSI applies trig theory to surveying transit in determining elevation angle of College building. 28

businessmen use community facilities T n 1962, the Business Administration Division took pains to make prac¬ tical applications of accumulated knowledge. To accomplish this, stu¬ dents utilized the giant laboratory of the community resources of New York City. Business law students applied classroom theory to practical cases at the Brooklyn Supreme Court under the eyes of trained legal supervisors. Another field trip to the New York Stock Exchange spotlighted the center of America’s economic activity. Man¬ agement majors learned personnel techniques by first hand observation of successful executives in action. Dr. Savage’s program of accounting internship trained twelve top flight students, the highest number of par¬ ticipants to date. Under this plan, major companies such as Price Water- house and Ernst and Ernst employed undergraduates. Practical experience so acquired was invaluable for post graduate job opportunities. The pro¬ gram called for a six week on-the-job training period. The curriculum of the Business Division adapted itself to changing times. Business management policy courses were presented from a strictly seminar approach to insure individual student participation. But perhaps more important was an intensification and unification of courses. A new schedule eliminated overlapping: all management theory courses were des¬ ignated for the sophomore year; all marketing theory for the junior year; all finance courses for the senior year. Faculty-wise, the College coped with the largest freshman evening 30
