Merchant Although one might think that this field is entirely for students who plan to enter the ministry, this is, however, not the case. Since Waynesburg College is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church and, since it is required that every student complete eight hours of religious education before graduation, everyone, at some time or other, spends a great deal of time with either Prof. Harry E. Gardner, Dr. Edson, or Mr. Harold L. Merchant. For several years Prof. Gardner and Dr. Edson carried on the work alone but now Mr. Merchant has joined the staff to ease the load, teach- ing Bible to many students. This department works hand in hand with the Parish Proiect, the various pro- fessors helping to direct student religious activities and, since each of these professors is also an ordained minister, conducting services at pastorless churches throughout the immediate district, feeling that the college and church must promote the welfare of the whole community of which they are a part.

Be it known that these seekers after knowledge are members of Dr. Henderson's botany classes. If you are awakened in the dead of the night by the howling of your neighbor's cat, be it known that the cat anatomy boys have collected another specimen. If you live in a dormitory and your roommate decides to mother a homeless squid, be it known that she's only studying zoology this year. Dr. Henderson and Dr. Stewart conduct such natural science courses as astronomy, genetics, entomology, geology, and many others too numerous to mention. Headquarters for natural science students may be found on the second floor of Hanna Hall. Paramecium, Arnoeba,
