 Encompassing the areas of chemistry, geology, geography, physics, mathematics, photography, and engineering, the Physical Science Division has the greatest number of majors in college. Our division, says Mr. Merlin L. Stevenson, chairman, as far as student clock hours are concerned, is one of the two largest. In 1940 there were 300,000 engineers in the United States and as of 1958 the number was 350,000. Since 1930 the Depart- ment of Labor reports a population increase of 40 per cent while the number of scientists increased by 500 per cent. The main problem in the immediate future is to maintain the standard of quality that Weber has maintained before. Our purpose is to aid students to make a life as well as a living.

Doss way to skin a cat. laurel E. Ellison Functioning to give students a realization of the intriguing world which surrounds them, is the Life Science Division. Drawing from bacteri- ology, forestry, botany, family life, nursing, physiology and zoology students gain an understanding of the oneness of creation and man's dependency upon nature. Basic to this field is man's effort to improve his well-being, conserve the natural bounties of the land, and belter his domestic circumstances. Dr. Orson Whitney Young, chairman, points out that Life Science is primarily a service division providing students with general courses enabling them to graduate and fulfilling the needs of those who are learning medical techniques. From the earnest efforts of the true student will come the success and growth of the future. Dr. Young believes.

Dolio D. D-ayfon Morio E. Alton Horold Bolomon Jomot B. Horvoy All activities of the Social Science Division are aimed at the big changeover to the four-year program, according to Dr. Dello G. Dayton, chairman. This year's program included field trips, and authoritative guest speakers, whose discussions of subjects pertinent to cur- rent history were of special importance during the national elec- tions; thus, young Americans experienced an increased enthusiasm and zeal for sound government. One basic motive being energetically pursued in social sciences is the preparation of the student for a life as a helpful, contributing citizen. This pursuit will be considerably extended in the enlarged program; it will cover in a more comprehensive way the bases upon which Democracy stands, as related to the developments and contributions of various ancient and modern cultures. The ever vital focus will continue to be upon the present, the future. Chtrloi Moor Jonning» G. Olion Walter Nowill Roybrd Uilortdor u
