e inoM Cool shadows on the stone A pickled frog bares its heart to very inquiring zoolosy major In lab Feature attraction of Fernald Hall (af- fectionately called Infernal Hall ) is the study of Rocks, Frogs, and Insects. From September to June students who major in Geology, Zoology, and Entomo- logy spend mornings, afternoons, and frequently evenings over laboratory benches or over notebooks in the amphi- theatre lecture room. On November 11, almost thirty-one years ago, Fernald Hall was dedicated and called one of the finestly equipped buildings for ento- mology in the country. Today, it stands up well after three decades of service to State science students.
