Uniuersilij — Faculty The College of Science THE departments of the College of Science at Notre Dame have been much developed during the past scholastic year. The enrollments in pre- medics. agriculture, pharmacy, physics and mathe- matics have been greatly increased, and the labora- tories in several departments have been bettered and enlarged. The department of Physics received a remarkable acquisition in the Annate dcr Chemie, including the rare Poggendorf series during the year, and the chemistry department received complete sets of Liebig ' s Annalen and of Zeitschriflfur Elcctrischc Chemie. Eight other complete sets of standard period- icals in general, physical and analytical chemistry have also been received by patent concessions from Rev. J. A. N.euland j Canadian Electro Products Co., of Montreal. The fund for these publications has been increased by cooperative work with the Canadian Electro Products Co., Shawinigan Falls, on acetylene derivatives by the University laboratories. A scholarship in graduate work has also been given the department. The department of botany has been, since Dr. Greene has left his library and herbarium, perhaps the best equipped in the University for facilities of research, especially in taxonomy. The herbarium and library are consulted by other uni- veisities and by the Government departments periodically for rare plant types. About one hundred and fifty current magazines of natural history and science come regularly to the files principally as exchanges for The American Midland Naturalist. During the past year the Chemistry department faculty participated in all activities of the Northern Indiana section of the American Chemical Society, which numbers about one thousand five hundred of the principal chemists of the United States in its national body. A freshman Chemist Club has also b een founded this year in addition to the Chemist Club formed of upper-classmen. Some twenty of its members are also in the A. C. S. There has been a noticeable tendency of students to pursue graduate work. Encouragement of graduate research work has resulted in the discovery of a new process for preparation of Bakelite and other new chemical substances, of which six are in patent applications with the cooperative understanding of the only American company dealing with acetylene compounds.
