James W. Buchanan Director iological sciences Tze Tuan Chen Zoology As a division within the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, the Biological Sciences comprise the Departments of Bac- teriology, Biochemistry and Nutrition, Botany, and Zoology. In meetings of the Departmental heads, changes in curricula are discussed along with division policy in an effort to arrive at a balanced teaching policy. The subjects taught in the various departments are analyzed as to possible value for collateral instruction. The division is therefore the integrat- ing mechanism of these four departments. Presiding as Director of the Division is Dr. James W. Buchanan. The Director of Research of the Hancock Scientific Foundation, Dr. Buchanan has been at SC since 1949. He also holds the post of Hancock Professor of Zoology. A capable member of the Division staff is Dr. Tze Tuan Chen, Professor of Zoology. An eminent geneticist.

Dean Max T. Krone An administrative division within the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, the Institute of the Arts consists of the departments of Cinema, Drama, Fine Arts, Radio, Speech, and The School of Music. Although specialized prepa- ration for students in its own majors is the primary function of the Institute, it also offers courses and facilities for students and faculty of every department of the University. Under the direction of Max T. Krone, the Institute has shown a steady progression since it was established in June of 1946. The Institute has been instrumental in developing and presenting courses that were heretofore not considered in the curriculum of a major university. Latest innovation has been the establishment of the first television station on any campus in the country and the conferring of degrees in Television Arts. nstitute of the arts Milton C.

r s The second largest division within the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences is the Division of Letters. Comprised of the Departments of Asiatic Studies, Comparative Literature, Classical Languages, Journalism, English, and the modern languages, it offers more than 400 courses for the student to choose from. Calculating just a bit will show that it would take close to 36 years to cover the subjects offered. Director of all this is Frank C. Baxter, Professor of English. Consid- ered to be among the top ten professors in the U. S., Dr. Baxter has gained his recognition at SC from his annual pro- gram of Christmas Readings presented to overflow audiences in Bovard. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Cambridge, he has been at SC since 1930. Heading the School of Journalism is Roy L. French, Profes- sor of Journalism. A veteran of the staff at SC, he has been with us since September, 1927. When not kept busy with his teaching, Mr. French may be seen keeping his boyish figure by long hours spent on the tennis courts. He keeps abreast of journalistic trends in his role as vice-president of the Chal- fant Press. Frank C. Baxter Director Roy L. French Journalism Classroom discourse.
