CA8lfIfLi:5 by Thermodynamics, a course studying the mechanical action or relations of heat, and qualitative organic analysis, the systematic iden- tification of organic compounds, have been added to the Chemistry cur- riculum this year. Spurred on by thoughts of commercial and professional chemistry, seniors seriously analyzed the calemetric determination of a ton of coal Qhow much heat a ton of coal would produce as figured out on the metric scalel from specimens collected for study from coal viens within a 50 mile radius of New XVilmington. Many graduates of the chemistry department enter medical school from XVCStIHl!lSt61'. Others go to hospital and research laboratories to become specialized teclmicians. YVhile chemistry majors labored With hydrogen and carbon com- pounds, Professor Gangloff Worked With new diagnostic instruments in the field of thyroid diseases in connection with Ohio State university. Mr, Zimmerman explains the use of chemical apparatus to a senior lab.

The play, a new idea in illustrating economics, was acted by members of the class. Visual aids in the form of film strips were used for the first time this year in the Sophomore Principles of Economics courses taught by Mr. Sloan and Mr. Calvert. The films use charts and illustrations to present economic theories. Two new courses, Insurance and Taxation taught by Mr. Sloan and Taxation and Public Finance taught by Mr. Calvert were introduced in the department after a lapse of several years. Under economic topics the new course, Manage- ment and Work Morale was taught by Mr. Schanck. With 158 majors in the department itself, 446 students enrolled in economics courses during the year. Of the approximately 75 graduates this year, some will go into business for themselves or with their familyg others will find em- ployment in industry. About 15 are contemplating graduate work and a few plan to go into teaching and coaching.
