Temple University ' s Law School and Medical School produce students who will serve the public with their professional knowledge. At the Tioga and Park Clinic, future doctors receive practical experi- ence througli working with neighborhood patients. The Law School also performs a community service through their public aid department. These future doctors and lawyers, through research and careful study, will unlock the doors to vital information which will perpetuate the betterment of society. Dentists and Pharmacists in a serene atmosphere. Coeds find time to study in Klein Law Library. Operation with Heart-Lung Machine involves interested interns and doctors. Lawyer finds this is a case that requires much research and careful thought. 27

chemistry and knowledge help men mix prescription for pharmacy. Senior pharmacy students find lob periods educational as well as interesting. Temple University ' s Schools of Dentistry and Pharmacy purport to turn out well-trained pro- fessionals who will serve the world with their knowl- edge. The halls of the School of Pharmacy, filled with antiseptic odors, lead to a vast number of laboratories where active students can be found pre- paring medicines to preserve humanity. This school has also established a model pharmacy where stu- dents are able to obtain practical knowledge for their future work. The busy atmosphere of the Dental School clinics shows the thorough training a student must go through before becoming a dentist. These clinics are not only of benefit to the practicing students but also to many people from a wide-spread area of communities. Professional Schools Dentist practices child psychology as Hygienist assists. This pharmacist is proud of his work in pharmacy. 26

Dr. J. Lloyd Bohn, professor of physics, headed a six-man team which developed equipment for detecting micrometerorite (dust particles from outer space) density for the Nike-Cajan, U.S. experimental rocket. Ever wonder what makes up the perfume that women wear? Dr. Floyd T. Tyson, professor of chemistry, who came to the University in 1925 after a varied career in teaching and industry is assem- bling apparatus that will answer the question in a matter of minutes. The recent development responsible for the ap- pearance of this equipment is known as gas chroma- tography. General principles have been known for at least a century but the rapid development of elec- tronic means of detecting or sensing small differences in a mixture of gases has brought about the devel- opment of this new technique. The equipment, expected to be completed shortly will be used mainly by staff members and graduate students. In his spare time, Dr. Tyson enjoys gardening and bee-keeping in his back yard. Scientific Research f- roaram to expand Dr. J. Lloyd Bohn ' s most publicized work has been the development of micro-meteoric detectors, used in space satellites. Working on grants from the Air Force, Dr. Bohn has also been supervising work on such projects as exploding wires, high-speed photography, and ultra-sonic sound detection. Dr. Bohn is looking forward to completion of the new Science Building, with hopes that the University will be able to increase its basic research program. He notes with pessimism that the United States will have a man in space soon— after the Russians. Unlike others who decry our failures but fail to suggest alternative courses, Dr. Bohn has a definite program in mind. The basic problem, he says, is in our school sys- tem—not our universities. This problem is a qualita- tive one and, in the long-range point of view, we must start with improving our elementary schools. Dr. Bohn offers these suggestions: increase salaries for teachers; require examination of instructors to de- termine their qualifications; raise standards in the teachers colleges, and do away with the tenure system. Dr. Floyd Tyson, professor of chemistry, records data as Michael Troisi, biology-chemistry instrument maker, times a perfume mixture experiment. 28
