The Life Science Division of Weber College is a stepping-stone for innumerable vocations. Important fields such as medicine, nursing, home economics, dentistry and laboratory technology have their foundations in the life sciences. The departments within the Life Science Division offer many worthwhile courses: the Department of General Education acquaints the student with a general knowledge of the entire field; the Department of Bacteriology relates a study of bacteria to problems of our society and includes the study of medical technology; the Department of Biology presents the characteristics of common plants and animals with attention given to their heredity and evolution; the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Wildlife Managements discusses crops, soils, vegetable production, irrigation, and natural resources; the Department of Botany investigates the plant kingdom with special emphasis on local flora; the Department of Family Life gives fundamental training in various aspects of homemaking; the Department of Nursing trains those interested in nursing as a vocation; and the Department of Physiology and Zoology deals with the more important groups of animals and their natural history. The Division of the Life Sciences serves us culturally also by providing educational and informative enter-tainment through Audubon film-lectures. These are given by noted travelers and nature-lovers, and are available to the general public.
