Dr C. Carl Robusto js ,ff IUHYSICS ln the complex manner in which knowledge is gleaned, one must first seek the explanations of those tangible and sensual processes enveloping his everyday life. lt is to answer these questions on the nature of physical phenomena that the Physics Department takes its place in education. The elucidating and well-chosen words of Dr, C. Carl Ro- busto change the mechanical world of levers and pressures, ethereal waves and forces into intriguing expressions of nature. Dr. Robusto offers a course of integrated study in order to acquaint the liberal arts student with the elements of the physi- sal sciences and to explain the material mannerisms which characterize this universe. A vigorous study of the general bases of Physics supplies the foundation and provides the specific principles necessary for the student's entrance into any other major field of science. With an unequalled humor supplementing a genuine interest in each student, Dr. Robusto further proceeds to amplify the science curriculum with a program of advanced courses sep- arately treating the phenomena of light, electricity, mag- netism and heat. The Physics Department of University College, correlating theoretical axioms with practical applications, attains its es- sential goal in providing the student with an understanding of the forces governing his physical world, while simultaneously presenting him with a store of knowledge which can be utilized in this twentieth century of science.

Dr. Val Cotty Dr. Alfred V. Liberti It ,lei A .1 Jn A p., , 1' ' xr i X i 1 it - I 5 r. x, BIOLOGY Even though man himself exemplifies the high- est and most complex form of life, the problems of discovering that characteristic separating the ani- mate entity from the inanimate presents a very real challengeg one that involves the same rudimentary factors governing his own life. The science of Bi- ology attempts to bridge this division of being. To supply this knowledge, the Biology Depart- ment, chairmanned by Dr. Alfred Liberti, actualizes its purpose by presenting a course of study founded on the evolutionary hypotheses of organic being. Dr. Liberti, Dr. Val Cotty and Professor Anthony Iovino direct the interest and attention of the Biology stud- ent to a basic outline of the structure and functions of both the minute and larger species of life. The principles of Comparative Anatomy anticipate the student's specialized studies in such courses as Bac- teriology, Histology and Embryology. While thus placing professional careers within the reach of the biology students, the curriculum of- fered ultimately aims at enriching him in the neces- sary and practical objective of an understanding of the mechanics of the life in which he is a part.
