The Natural Sciences The natural science courses in the Four Year College include Biological and Physi- cal Science, each a two year survey course. Both surveys have the same aim, to give the student a sufficient general knowledge of the scientific forces working about him in his every day life, affecting him constantly. Despite this unified aim, each course goes about this in a different way. As it's name would signifv, the Biolcg- ical Science course deals with all aspects of science in the reahn of living organisms. Starting with lowest forms of plant life. and tracing through the highest forms of life. culminating with man himself. the functions and characteristics of organisms are traced, showing the most important aspects of higher development, and the possible rela- tionship and evolution of all life forms. The Physical Science course, on the other hand, deals with the non-living. The realms of Physics, Astronomy, Geology, and Chemis- try are studied, as well as their effects upon life forms. Hence, the two surveys are inter- related, even overlap in their general demar- cations. XVith Mr. Mayfield guiding the studies of both Bi. Sci. A and ll students, Mr. Holley instructing Phy. Sci. A, and Mr. Nedelsky and Mr. Pickett capably in charge of Phy. Clifford Holley, S.M. john C. Mayfield, A.M. Leo Nedelsky, Ph.D. Arthur D. Pickett, S.M. Sci. li and Phy. Sci. ll lab respectively, the students of the Four Year College have gained a clarifying scientific background. The Social Sciences American Political Institutions and lico- nomic Society are the two years of the Social Science survey most closely connected with the Four Year College. Although the whole survey is a three year course. the last year, Social Science C, has remained, instructor and all, on the University campus. American Political lnstitutions strives to give the student a knowledge of our present day political set up by following the histori- cal development of political parties and con- stitutional law. Under the able guidance of lXlr. lieohane, students of this course are able to see, not only why and how political prac- tices have arisen, but also the benefits and defects of them as they function today. The second year course, lfconomic So- ciety, places little stress upon historical development, and deals directly with eco- nomic organization of today. Although cov- ering briefiy the structures of foreign econ- omy, most of this year has been spent in analyzing present economic programs and needs. These courses will equip us to face our social world with a greater understanding and appreciation of our democracy. As citi- zens we should with this knowledge strive Robert Emmet ' Keohanc, AM. Laurence li. Lcamer, A.lNl. to sustain our government and keep it pro- gressive, and not take it for granted. 13
