The goals of the Biology Department are: to prepare those students who major in biology for their work after graduation, and to offer non-majors an acquaintance with the fundamental concepts of the science of biology. Pres- ently the Biology Department is in the process of updating its courses and its curriculum. An analytical approach to the teaching of biology is presently being adopted. Such an approach demands a strong background in chemistry, mathematics and physics. The result is that a biology major is required to take at least a year of calculus and a year of organic chemistry in addition to the usual year of physics. Biolog Mrs. L. Frey 1 2'- Mr. T.

A pinch of this and a dash of that. Chemistry This year the Department of Chemistry was approved by the American Chemical Society as offering a sound program of un- dergraduate training. This is a goal toward which the department has been working for over ten years. This recognition is a result of such factors as increased library holdings, enlarged staff, staff research activities, updated facilities and a modern curriculum. It is part of the department's program for the future to encourage and provide opportunity for more independent work in the labora- tory. The facilities are being modified to give greater flexibility in usage. All the department's efforts are directed toward providing a modern program in undergraduate chemical training. N-g: s t Q., .
