Mr. William F. Yates of Richmond, Mis- souri, has given over l,j275,000 for the endowment of the department in memory of his son, Iames Andrew Yates. Chemistry is one of the basic, fundamental sciences. The courses in chemistry prepare one for graduate study in chemistry, the study of medicine, engineering, teaching, and for positions in industry and government work. Each year a number of students receive awards in the form of fellowships or teaching assistantships for graduate study in chemistry or in the study of medicine. At the present time, there are eleven former students studying medicine and three are doing graduate work in chemistry. This year Five stu- dents have received awards for graduate study in chemistry. 22 . . LEADERSHIP Today, a knowledge of biology is essential for the proper solution of many of our social problems. The Biology Department of William Iewell College is well equipped with modern laboratories to aid in the development of a liberal arts education for those who wish only a minimum requirement in science and at the same time to prepare students of biology for graduate study or for specialization. Among biology majors who have gone on for advanced degrees are doctors, lawyers, ministers, journalists, teachers, and businessmen of whom we are justly proud. The basic aims of the Biology Department in short are to acquaint the student with the philoso- phy and history of ideas of biology and their relation to sociological and economical problems as well as their relation to other sciences, create a sense of awareness of surroundings, and produce scientific literacy. 7 f' ,ZW2 J D1 Dire. zu T physi progi to pri stratc activi T recei' a bro the p and 5 of ga excee majo know categ symf

Pillsbury Department of Physics is to present a program of studies that will meet the needs of the physicist, the chemist, the mathematician, the engineer, the doctor and the layman. This varies from a three semester hour course for the layman to four years of physics for the future physicist. The Physics Department occupies eighteen rooms including 7600 square feet of floor space in Marston Hall. Physics equipment and laboratory supplies are valued at about 39O,oOo. An adequate budget makes it possible to purchase needed new equipment each year. The graduates of the Department of Physics have a record of achievement that has received national recognition. William Iewell ranks 18th among colleges and universities in the United States in percent of its physics graduates in Ameri- can Men of Science. The Department of Mathematics has two basic purposes. The first is to provide those courses in mathematics which are considered a part of liberal arts training. In addition to the purely liberal arts courses, the department offers courses Or topics within courses of training which will be of service to the science and professional student. Among the changes in curriculum, 1958-tooo, is a speed-up course in Hrst year mathematics entitled Calculus with Analytical Geometryy' and a course in 'IAbstract Algebra for advanced SILI- dents. A student who comes to VVilliam Iewell College with a very strong background in mathematics can build on his good foundation with twenty- eight semester hours of mathematics and qualify for a major. The student with a good background of high school mathematics can do the work for a major in thirty-two semester hours. LEADERSHIP . .

The courses are designed to provide instruction in skills, knowledge of rules, strategy of games, and appreciation of leisure time activities for present and future use. The student majoring in physical education receives, in addition to a liberal arts background, a broad professional basis in education. Specihcally, the physical education major will receive training and guidance on skills, knowledge of rules, strategy of games, and coaching and ofiiciating techniques exceeding those competencies expected of a non- major. Each major student must have a working knowledge of several activities in each of the main categories of aquatics, team sports, individual sports, gymnastics, combatives, and self-testing activities. However, it is the aim of the department to serve every student by providing a variety of experiences for all levels of ability and interest. Under the basic program each student receives instruction in a minimum of four of the following activities: Tennis, Swimming, Golf, Handball, Weight-Training, Trampoline, Tumbling, Wres- tling, Boxing, Soccer, Speedball, Archery, Bowling, Badminton, Volleyball, Modern Dance, Square Dance, and Gymnastics. The men's intramural program provides com- petition in touch football, golf, handball, table tennis, horseshoes, basketball, volleyball, softball, track and field, swimming, cross-country and bad- minton. Women's intramural activity includes basketball, volleyball, swimming, softball, tennis, table tennis, and badminton. LEADERSHIP . .
