Departments of Instruction. . . ART Several years ago in the annals of time, an Egyptian Pharaoh built a monument in the form of a pyramid. A short time after- wards a group of idealists designed a temple on the Acropolis of Athens. Later, when historians said the world was dark, some visionaries fashioned a Gothic cathe- dral out of space and stone and glass. To- day men build a skyscraper eighty stories high from rods of steel. Such is the his- tory of art, and such is the story of man. The Art Department opens a new vista to the student who is seeking a meaning to supplement her first visual or tactile impression of ‘‘history as it was lived”’ and reflected. Under Dr. Seaver, Dr. Neil- son, Dr. Van Ingen, Miss Randall, and Miss Lorentzen, the Department moulds future patrons in the appreciation of past and present art; and stimulates a general art-consciousness by means of its frequent exhibits in the Library Gallery. Like time and hope and history, art is a great transcendentalist and unifier of men. The builders of Radio City are even now trying to solve the problems which beset those who several years ago fash- ioned Amiens. Art is a recurrent string that ties them all together. ESTHER ISABEL SEAVER, Ph.D. Professor of Art MABEL AGNES RICE, Ph.D. Professor of Botany [17] BOTANY As a survey course to start an acquaint- ance between the student and plants, and to give an idea of the different lines of work open in the field of Botany, General Botany, taught by both Dr. Rice, head of the department, and Dr. Faull, draws a great number from each freshman class. Upperclassmen may continue their work in advanced courses. Thus in Plant Physio- logy, for instance, students are doing new and interesting work in inoculating stems with auxin. Plant Technique is notable for its micro- and plant-photography. In Plant-Culture terraria built by the class for six successive years have taken prizes in the Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s annual spring flower show. The Botany department attempts to make the plant world interesting to the college at large. The greenhouse, under the care of Miss Hequembourg, the peren- nial bed near Emerson, and the Arboretum are all valuable adjuncts to the Botany Department. The Arboretum, which con- sists of trails winding through the college woods where many different varieties of plants and trees, carefully labelled, at- tract the wanderer, is one of the pleasantest of Wheaton’s recent developments.
