Dr. Waldemar Walter, assistant professor of bio- logy, helps a student in the dissection of a frog during a biology laboratory. Through study of the frog's skeleton and systems they are learning man's structure. Biology As science grows more important each day, students are realizing that a thorough knowledge of the earth, its people and its formation is inevitable before an understanding of possible life'on other planets can exist. With this rapid expansion of teaching and research opportunities, TWU's biology students are preparing to fill this need with a background of serious study. Among the graduates of the Biology Department are listed highly successful doc- tors, dentists, medical technologists, bacteriologists, research workers and high school and college science teachers. Whether the student chooses teaching, medical technology, medicine or pharmaceutical research or any other lead- ing from the biological sciences, she will flnd the work interesting and profitable.

College of Arts and Sciences Dr. Autrey Nell Wiley Dean In the College of Arts and Sciences, every student has her opportunity to acquire knowledge and understand- ing essential to her as a person and as a member of society. Thus she may obtain a foundation basic to the pro- fessions, to business, and to the numerous and complex activities in which women engage. The individual - identical with mankind in emotion, thought, and aspiration - is central to the broad humanistic foundation of the educational program in the Arts and Sciences, including literature, philosophy, the written and spoken arts, religion, and history. Human society, in which the individual functions, is here also in government, sociology, and economics. And the extra-human, over which mind and hand preside, is here in mathe- matics and the sciences. Courses offered in these fields lay the foundation for a liberal education that acquaints students with their heritage and helps them mature through the exercise of their intellectual curiosity, through the test of their in- tegrity and capacity for self-education, through the improvement of their arts and skills of oral and written con- verse, and through the pursuit of excellence con amore. Offerings in liberal arts are basic for all students in their first two years in the University. Concentration in departmental majors and minors in advanced and graduate work leads to degrees earned through programs designed by the departments composing the College of Arts and Sciences: Biology, Business and Economics, Chemistry, English, Foreign Languages, History and Government, journalism, Mathematics, Physics, Religious Education, Sociology, and Speech. The Arts and Sciences Building, hous- ing a portion of the many departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, is in its second year of classroom duty. The building was dedicated in the spring semester of 1960.

-if Shorthand and typed transcription serve as previews as majors in the Business and Economics Department will later learn the techniques of operating complicated business machines. The hasics they learn in he- ginning typing, shorthand and economics classes will he strengthened through their studies in more advanced courses. Business and Economics The career field in Business has many advantages to the young woman with the specialized training and the cultural background offered by Texas Woman's University and the Department of Business and Economics. The Department of Business and Economics is in a position to dramatize the changing needs in higher educa- tion for women and to lead in providing for them. A well trained, competent faculty is the foundation on which our training in business is based. From the moment the student begins her university work she is under the supervision of one of the members of the faculty in the Department. Emphasis is placed on the development of independent thinking through classroom discussion and written and oral presentation. The Department operates on the assumption that liberal and professional studies go hand in hand in the undergraduate program because each can benefit from the other. The problem is to see that all courses are taught in the liberal spirit in the context of their place in our culture. The skills which the program develops are the basis for effective participation and eventual leadership in business, the community, and the home. -DR. T. L. MORRISON Mr. Iohn Murray Dr. T. L.
