BOTANY A SURVEY just completed shows former students of the Botany De¬ partment filling positions as missionaries, government employees, sci¬ entific technicians, health officers, explorers, teachers and home¬ makers. From Washington State to Washington, D. C., they have left their marks in colleges, universities, experiment stations and scientific lab¬ oratories, and the trail of their progress leads to Africa, Hawaii, Siam and the Philippines. From the rooms of Science Hall they pass, and the world becomes their laboratory. T HE Department of Zoology offers major courses leading in three directions. First, where the work is a more general survey of va¬ rious animals the Department offers the degree of B. S. in Zoology. Second, where special attention is given to insects, the curriculum leads to a degree in Entomology. Third, an arrangement of courses combines the essentials of zoology and botany into the option of Economic Biology. Besides the training of teachers and investigators, this department largely serves the College in affording foundation science courses to stu¬ dents in departments of applied science and elsewhere. Its workshops are the laboratory and field. “Know thyself first,” is the laboratory motto; the field classes, “Study Nature before books.”
