Dean Henry N. Andrews, Ir. Two other accomplishments of last year of which Dean Andrews is justifiably proud are the rebuilding of the greenhouse, and the establishment of a flower garden in back of Bebstock. The purpose of the garden is two- fold: to provide an excellent place for class and experimental work and to beautify that section of the campus. This year, there were no professional courses offered on the undergraduate level, majors were offered in the general fields of botany and microbiology. First year botany students were taken on several field trips, including one through the Grchid House at Gray Summit, Mo., one through St. Louis's famed Anheuser-Busch Brewery, and one through the Mo. Botanical Garden Herbarium and Library, which graduate students use to great advantage in their work. The graduate curriculum was more diver- sified and included work in genetics, psycol- ogy, paleobotany, physiology and taxonomy. During the past 54 years, the School of Botany has granted 80 doctorates. A large portion of the recipients have become teach- ers in colleges.

A unigue plan has been developed in which students have classes four days a week and work in downtown St. Louis stores two days a week and full time before Christmas. These stores have developed a careful program to insure the students a wide variety of experience in both selling and non-selling work. Stainproof t l The W y'slndus1 l pl
