Dr. John J. McCoy, Head of Department The need for basic knowledge of the tools and con- cepts of the biological sciences has become increasingly more important to the citizen of the Twentieth Century. In addition to the rather obvious fact that humans ex- emplify the phenomena of life, it is being forcibly brought to our attention in many ways that man is only one of a vast assemblage of life forms that interact and ore interdependent. It is only the most uninformed who neither realizes nor appreciates the significance of the sciences in general and the biological sciences in parti- cular. Such appreciation should go far beyond the ability to enumerate technological advances however. It should immeasurably aid in the formulation of o philosophy of life without which no person ' s education is complete. General Biology, as a course component of the general education program, introduces the student to the tools and concepts of the life sciences For those who wish to major in biology or otherwise pursue more advanced studies, offerings in genetics, ecology, physiology, and others are available.
