CHEMISTRY EMPHASIZING THE NECESSITY of a broad base of theoretical knowledge as a preparation for specialized divisions of industry or research, the Chemistry Department of Whittier College uses special care in teaching the fundamental basis of modern chemical theories. Laboratory experiments play an active and important part of the life of a chemistry major. Excluding minor accidents, the experiments are enjoyable. Whittier emphasizes the personal method which involves the student acting in the laboratory rather than the spoon feed- ing in lecture. Research is one of the department's main activities and is carried on continually for the development of science and the betterment of mankind. The staff of the department presents a very good picture to those students interested in the field. As an example of the interest in current problems, Dr. W. Roy Newsom was a member of the advisory committee in Los Angeles on the study of air pollution. He is considered quite an expert on the problem of smog.
