fii ' U M S cience iead The Wat Science leads the war is a statement that has often been made and which is certainly true as far as the University of Nevada campus is concerned, as all fields of science on the campus can be identified with some phase or other of war work. . . . The place that such sciences as chemistry and physics play in the war is readily discernible. Chemicals are one of the outstanding influences in war, and we need men and women who are properly and well trained in that field to aid in the war effort. The importance of this branch of science is fully recognized by the United States government, and a great deal of importance is given to the chemical warfare divisions. . . . Many practical problems have been dealt with in the various laboratories. Mathe- matics and physics also are deemed a necessity in many fields today, and are reguirements for many branches of the armed forces. . . . Nevada stu- dents are sharing their science classes and laboratories with Army pre-flight cadets who are stationed here, and who are reguired to take the classes as a part of their courses.
