go Og? In a third floor lab of the Science hall, florescent bulbs burn softly, heads bend industriously over dissecting pans, and piles of chelipeds, walking legs, mandibles or other parts from biological specimens cover the tables. These general biology labs meet every afternoon of the school week. Aside from actual animals used in labs, new equipment was pur- chased this year. Wall charts, colored lantern slides, an opaque pro- jector, incubators for use in embriology and bacteriology and a new seed bed for the use of botany students were added in labs on the first and third floors. Two courses added to the department this year are Economic Biology and Conservation of our Natural resources. Myron L. Simpson A. B., American U., Sc.
