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.

MAKE A BETTER LIVING Sul Ross was originally vocational in its plan; the occasion for its organization as a Normal School and Teacher’s College was to train faculty for area schools; she is still proud that she continues in that tra¬ dition and a majority of each year’s graduation class is qualified to take places in the schoolrooms of America. In recent years, however, vocational training has broadened as the need was made apparent. Training in homemaking and family life is provided by the Home Economics Department. Most rapidly growing to meet current demands is the Business Department, which en¬ rolls an increasing number of students each year.
