Housed in the Science Hall with four spacious laboratories and class and stock room space designed to accommodate hundreds of students, the chemistry department, headed by Professor Bowers, is well equipped to turn out proficient college majors in that field and to meet the requirements of the pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-nursing, and pre-dietetic courses. The physics department under Dr. Kretschmar now occupies much of the first floor space of the Administration building. Large well-equipped laboratories and shops lend encouragement to mastering the principles of mechanics, astronomy, radio, elec- tricity, and other branches of science. The power house which provides heat and light for the college is supervised by this department. 1191-
