Transcript | COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE J* -&" DR. N. CATHERINE COMINSKY Chairman of Biology Department wasfic&aVn*?^ k W. Drake Biology Department The biology department, headed by Dr. N. Catherine Cominsky, offers forty-two courses from A to Z: Anatomy to zoology. Basic courses of a semester each in botany and zoology are followed by more advanced curriculum in comparative anatomy, histology, and genetics for pharmacy, pre-med, and biology majors. "Adam" the skeleton is one of the most familiar figures in the well equipped department. Seated, left to right: Mrs. Ruby Percival, Dr. Sara Huggins. Standing: Mr. L. R. Freese, Mr. V. C. Calma, Mr. J. B. Clark, Mr. Enlow, Dr. H. J. Sawin. MR. C. B. JOHNSTON Chairman of Chemistry Department Chemistry Department Students of chemistry don't "take it with a grain of salt." They take it with a grain of NACL, sodium chloride. Freshmen mingle with test tubes in a general chemistry course, popular for those following the Bachelor of Arts degree plan. Those who conquer the Bunsen Burner branch out into quantitative analysis and organic chemistry in later years. These courses are required for pre-med and pharmacy students also. Department Chairman is Mr. C. B. Johnston. |
