The Art Department The Art Department has three purposes. The first is to develop an appreciation of art; the second is to develop skill in art; and the third is to train art teachers. In order to accomplish these purposes it is necessary to have efficient instructors. Miss Marion C. Smith is the head of the department and has had extensive art training. She has attended the Art department of the University of Nebraska, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Chicago Art Institute, Minneapolis Handicraft Guild, and New York Art League Landscape School, and she is a pupil of Anshultz, Parker, Chase, Hawthorne, Breckenridge, Carlson, Batch- elder, and J oh on not. She received her B. F, A. degree from the Nebraska State Teachers College, Kearney, in 1932. Miss Smith came to Kearney with the opening of the State Normal. She is assisted by Miss Minnie E. Larson, who received her A. B. degree from the Nebraska State Teachers College in 1924 and her A. M. degree from the University of Chicago in 1931. It is very interesting to browse around in the art rooms and study the drawings, designs, pictures, and portraits which are made by the students. We are proud of our art department and the type of work it is doing. Many of the art students are good amateur artists, in fact, we have pictures in our library which have been painted by our students and others which are painted by the art instructors. Miss Smith informs me that nothing ever happens in the art department; that there is never a smile or a chuckle. This leads me to the conclusion that the art students are very industrious and never have time to waste by taking their attention from their work. However, Miss Smith realizes that all work and no play makes jack a dull boy” and calls time out for a few' minutes giving the students a much needed relaxation and tells them about some of her experiences which she had on the way to school or something about her pets (animals, not students), or relate a new joke which she just heard or read. After this short breathing spell the students recover their paint brushes, scissors, and other useful paraphernalia and resume their artistic duties. s; Marion C. Smith Minnie E. Larson Pane Twenty

William E. Bruner Mildred E. Hansen Carrie F. Ludden Biological Science Department Biology—the livest department in the college. Lest other departments object too strongly, we hasten to suggest that perhaps alive is the word. Here there can he no argu- ment; no other department has so much to do with things that are actually living. The living creatures range from minute, squirming bacteria to a rather vociferous rooster whose crowing has kept more than one eight o’clock class from going to sleep. Lazy goldfish, including two that, it is hinted, belonged to President Martin, swim about in the aquariums; snails gaze at the world from their impressive-sounding snaileries. There are rats, too, and from time to time dogs and cats, snakes and salamanders. Occasionally the unsuspect- ing rats are fed alcohol, in experiments which prove to the satisfaction of everyone, except perhaps to the inebriated rats, that alcohol docs them no good. Dr. W. E. Bruner, whose B. S., A, M., and Ph. D. degrees are all from the University of Nebraska, ts the head of the biological science department. Miss Carrie E. Ludden, who received her B. of Ed. from the Nebraska State Teachers College in Kearney, is the other classroom instructor. Several times in the past. Miss Ludden has made special marine studies on the west coast. Mrs. Chris Hansen, full time laboratory assistant, completes the teaching staff of the department. Since the department has so much to do with living things, it is necessary that it be equipped with much material and apparatus for visual education. A projection microscope is available for displaying the jelly-like amoeba or the gentlemanly paramecium, gently bumping his environment. There is a slide projector, too. and many slides. Plaster of Paris models, posters, and mounted specimens are also used to aid in teaching the various subjects. The ever growing museum is filled with every sort of exhibit imaginable, from, snake skins to star fish—-from beetles to blunderbusses. In the botany laboratory there are many forms of plant life and charts showing the various stages of plant development. The only subject that ever made Mark Twain cynical, the weather, is also studied in the department. Busy students, with one eye on the barometer, learn why Californians come home to Nebraska. Pre-medics, future doctors and nurses, do much of their junior college work in the biological science department. Most of these students belong to the Pre-medic club, which the department sponsors. These students are particularly interested in the anatomy, physiology, and bacteriology classes.
