Boyd, of the science department, was the speaker at the chapel hour on Friday, October 19, at which time he gave in a very interest ing manner the purposes of the new physical science courses that are be ing offered in the University system this year. He explained that often a student enters college without any desire to take any special science course because he is not acquainted with those that are offered to him. In many cases, there ar e only one or two offered and he takes one of the two because they are required for his degree. In the new set-up, a little of the sciences of astronomy, geology, physics, physical geography and chemistry is given. This will give the student entering college a view of the various courses open to him in the sciences and will enable him to take work in the ones most interesting to him in his later work. On Tuesday, October 23, Rev. W. H- Clark, of the Carrollton First Metho dist church, gave a timely and inter esting talk with his subject taken from the prophecy of Isaiah, “ • • - na * tions shall not lift np their swords Continued on Page Four NUMBER 2
