Pointing its students to the future, this division hopes to give a fundamental knowl- edge of physical problems that will raise questions leading the students to go forward in their own research. With another successful year recorded, the men of physical sciences still do not rest. Per- haps their path is the key to tomorrow. WAITING ANXIOUSLY for the results of a physics lab experiment are Jack Anderson, Professor Azbell and Andy Foster. 26
