BIOLOGY: n., 1. the science that deals with the origin, history, phys- ical characteristics, habits, etc. of plants and animals: it includes botany, zoology, and their subdivisions. h The Biology department is one of the most influential of the science de- partments on campus. Most students taking biology are eligible for and re- ceive a Bachelor of Science degree upon graduation. Many combine biol- ogy with chemistry, majoring in bio- chemistry, which also leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The chairman of the department is Dr. Frank Doe, and its other guiding force is Professor Emeritus Sr. Clodovia Lockett, familiarly known as Sr. Clo. In addition to offering BA. and B.S. degrees in Biology, the Biology De- partment sponsors the Pre-Heaith Club. This organization, comprised of pre-medical students majoring in Chemistry and Biochemistry as well as Biology, schedules field trips and speakers on topics related to the health professions. It also helps stu- dents preparing for the MCAT exam. Approximately 90 percent of the stu- dents in the pre-medical and tradi- tional degree programs are accepted into medical and graduate degree programs. During the summer, the depart- ment offers research opportunities to qualified advanced students. These students work closely with professors on such projects as experiments in plant genetics.

William H. Hendrickson Associate Professor CHEMISTRY: n., 1. the science dealing with the composition and properties of sub- stances, and with the reactions by which substances are produced from or converted into other sub- stances. 2. the application of this to a specified subject or field of activ- ity. 5. the chemical properties, composition, reactions, and uses of a substance. The Chemistry Department spon- sors the John B. O'Hara Chemical Sciences Institute each summer. Incoming freshmen chosen to par- ticipate receive eight hours of cred- it in General Chemistry. The O'Hara Charles W. Eaker Associate Professor Program also grants research sti- pends to advanced students work- ing on projects in selected areas of study, including organic mecha- nisms and organophosphorous chemistry. Diiring the regular year, the de- partment advises the local student affiliate chapter of the American Chemical Society. Members attend guest lectures on pertinent topics in academic, medical, and industri- al chemistry. Field trips to local lab- oratories such as HCH and Alcon are also scheduled. Those stu- dents holding national member- ship in the ACS are invited to at- tend regional and national conven- tions each year and, if desired, pre- sent the results of their research with the department's professors.
