liberal arts training for the first
time in 10 years, Dean James H.
Gilbert announced this week.
. Prior to state board action of last
( year which approved the move
^acegon was the only large uni
fBrsity in the country without
major instruction in the natural
sciences.
Sixty-three new courses total
ing 269 term hours await incom
'ng students in six science de
partments this fall. These include
work in chemistry, biology, geol
ogy and geography, mathematics,
physics, and general science.
Broad Program
The new courses range all the
way from bacteriology, organic
r inorganic chemistry, minerol
gy, and higher algebra to elec
trical measurements and mam
malian anatomy.
Highlighting the long list is in
struction in Pacific basin geology,
of special war-time interest;
genetics, of great value in devel
oping strong racial qualities, and
ysics and mathematics, an an
er to demands for trained spe
cialists in all phases of army
navy, coast guard, and marine
work.
Special Value
“Mathematics and physics are
j jpecially essential to the war ef
fort,’’ Dean Gilbert declared.
“Even our war-time emphasis,
however, must not lead us to con
sider the tremendous service of
science as unimportant to peace
as well.”
Work in the newly opened sci
ence fields are not limited to un
dergraduates, Dean Gilbert ex
plained. Study toward' masters
and doctor’s degrees is also

WheFe Women
Are Women
Come on you shipyard workers
Come down to U. of O.
The world has more important
things
Than making flocks of dough.
For instance do you like to see
Girls with dirty faces,
Pounding rivets one by one
To their respective places.
Come on down to college
Where they still know how to
dance,
J nd at least they still wear
dresses
Instead of wearing pants.
