Dr. Tyree also gave a lecture
on “Molecular Stereochemistry”
to University Center science
In the early fifties, following the years which lapsed between
the move to University Center and completion of the tremendous
job of getting the new campus firmly established, Calrk College
began to make important strides in the development of its cur
riculum.
Beginning with a program in remedial reading, which is now
fully developed, the chain of academic developments continued
with advances in the Departments of Business, Home Economics
and Modern Languages. Now, as the institution continues to
develop its program, the Departments of Chemistry and Biology
come up for far-reaching changes.
The changes will mark the first major physical changes in
these departments since the institution moved to the University
Center in 1941. They will give Chemistry and Biology about
double the space they have occupied for the past 18 years. They
will do much to attract more science-minded students to Clark.
When completed—at a cost expected to exceed $80,000—the new
facilities will give Clark the best science facilities it has ever
had.
When the present facilities for biology are vacated, the Chem
istry Department will occupy the space now held by the Biology
Department. Both Departments began acquiring additional pieces
of equipment in anticipation of the increased facilities several
years ago, and when readied the new laboratories will be'equipped
for a sound program at the outset. Chemistry Department Chair
man Dr. Alfred S. Spriggs and Biology Department Chairman Dr.
William M. Banks agree, however, that developments in their
facilities and programs. now being readied will greatly advance
their programs, but these developments are “just a step” in the
direction toward the ideal situation.
The new chemistry facilities, according to Dr. Spriggs, will
include two laboratories, one for organic chemistry and the other
for general and analytical chemistry. There will be a room for
balances and instruments, and the fixtures of both laboratories
will be completely new.
Extensive additions to the Structure to which the Biology
Department will move will provide space for two laboratories,
seating a total of 48 students. Both laboratories will be furnish
ed with late-model desks and adequate water, gas, air and elec
trical outlets. The Department will have also a classroom which
will seat 36 students.
Both ^departments will have special laboratories for student-
faculty research projects—a phase of activity in these areas which
has been hurt in the>past because of inadequate facilities.
