Prof, of Science-Mathematics of Mathematics and Science 10W CLOSE The Science Division is primar¬ ily interested in a study of the phys¬ ical aspects of the world in which man finds himself. Man lifted him¬ self out of savagery when he con¬ quered the things which make up his world; the knowledge which made this triumph possible is called science. The pure science of Mathemat¬ ics often opens the door to the un¬ derstanding of relationships in other areas, but it also has its practical as¬ pects in earning a living and record keepin g. Chemistry and Physics offer in¬ sights into the composition of mat¬ ter and forces of nature. Modern living requires a close un¬ derstanding of these two disciplines. Biological Sciences study living things, man and his cousins, who make up the world. Through such under¬ standing, life may be made less painful and more complete. Astronomy offers some understanding of the Universe, the place of the Earth in the Eter¬ nal Scheme, and a rela¬ tive appreciation of man as a part of his world. The practical appli¬ cation of science pro¬ vides a key to the using of knowledges. In an¬ swer to demand from area agriculturists, the Department of Range Animal Husbandry was established, while equally practical is the Industri¬ al Arts Department. Bill Leavitt Assist.
