Experiment being the path 10 new discovery, biologists Denny Whitehead: Jr, Dennis Nolan, JL, and Frank Giina, J12, set up Controlled Cunditiuns under nhich to make their study. Close observation of microorganisms is a necessary step in the development of a unified theory of growth.

BIOLOGY Formulated according to both classical and con- temporary biological concepts, the curriculum in biology prepares the student for intellectual growth and service in graduate or professional study and research.
