Biology Chemistry Pre-Med Club Biological Concepts, Principles Analyzed in Lab As now taught. Biology reduces and modifies the em¬ phasis previously placed on authoritative content—facts, concepts, and principles. Instead, the objectives are di¬ rected at utilizing the investigative process of science and relating the history of scientific thought to the subject. These goals are implemented by offering more and varied methods of laboratory experiences which stimulate the attitude of inquiry, and by using valid units of subject matter which are compatible with the proliferation of new knowledge. The most outstanding innovations have been devel¬ oped by the Biological Science Curriculium Study Com¬ mittee under the auspices of the American Institute of Biological Sciences. The Biology Department has adopted the program suggested by this group to best equip the student to meet the ever-changing view of the world. SCRUTINY.

Initiative is encouraged by the choice of subject matter and media used. For example, the teacher will suggest a project to be worked on; he will explain the mechanics and require¬ ments of it and state the general materials that will be needed. How the student will meet this challenge, the medium he will choose, the types of tools he will use, is left to his own discretion. He must decide whether or not he will take a chance and experiment with something new, or be conventional, and choose a medium with which he is more familiar. Individual projects are encour¬ aged in order to provide outlets for the ability, interests and ambitions of each student. THEODORE H. JOHNSON Massachusetts College of Art B.F.A.

SMITH Bridgewater State College B.S. General Science Physical Science PERSONABLE. Mr. Robert Cohen takes time out for lunch Curiosity, Inquiry, Reason Solve Problems The realm of the Physical Sciences em¬ phasizes and increases the individual’s spirit of inquiry. This field is based on guided freedoms; through class discussion and laboratory work, each student is afforded opportunities to build a foundation of learning and research. Armed with curiosity and reason, the student is exposed to the world of the yet unexplained. Answers do not come easily, and rarely follow defined standards. Instead, long sought solutions are the result of the application of the scientific method. This is a definite plan used to solve a problem. In a series of steps the problem is stated, information is gath¬ ered, a hypothesis is formed, tests are made, records are kept, and a conclusion evolves. Ultimately, to benefit from this ex¬ perimentation, the theory must be applica¬ ble. Today the student is given many op¬ portunities to better understand the prob¬ lems he encounters. For the student inter¬ ested in advanced learning, classes are held on Saturday mornings. Individual merit is exhibited in the annual Science Fair, where¬ by the students apply this spirit of inquiry to basic laws of everyday living. Their findings aid in the search to understand themselves. 27
