BIOLOGY

The dynamic Biology Department has breezed on into vast new areas of discovery since the generous donation of a large research vessel by Dr. John A. Bradshaw. This graceful sloop is quite capable of such extended voy­ ages of ocean exploration that the research team has even proposed an ambitious expedi­ tion to Hawaii to seize new information from the ocean depths, mankind's last frontier. Since the boat's introduction last summer, the department's plunge into oceanography has become a tangible reality. The marine microbiology class has become extremely pop­ ular among the experienced majors with a sense of thrill in the unknown. This experi­ ence certainly will further their interest in this exciting field. They also realize the immense value of this practical training in their advance to their future careers in service to man.
