Show Division of Life Sciences O. Whitney Young, Chairman Education in the Life Sciences enables individuals to make a successful adjustment to their environment. The courses in the Life Science Division provide experience and training essential to understanding the world in which we live. Life Science serves democracy by informing people of biological problems upon which our country is dependent. Attention is focused upon biological interrelationships among human, soil, plant, animal, and water resources. The Life Science Division seeks to develop attitudes of effective citizenship by encouraging each person to accept the responsibility of safeguarding these natural resources. In this manner the Division strives to retain and preserve our natural heritage. Life Science classes introduce students to the essential oneness of living things, to the fact that no organism exists independent of other organisms. Instruction is given in principles of life functions in a reciprocating environment. The professional, vocational, and avocational experience provided in Life Science courses prepare students to enter diverse occupations. The nursing program is part of a national research project sponsored by Columbia University. The success of Life Science majors pursuing advanced study in other educational institutions emphasizes the quality of instruction provided in this Division. Students who desire to enter agriculture, bacteriology, dentistry, forestry, laboratory technology, medicine, nursing, veterinary science, or wild life management will find that the Life Science Division of Weber College, through its many courses, offers adequate preparation. In collaboration with the Audubon Society and other agencies concerned with the conservation of our natural resources, the Life Science Division supports lectures on nature, wildlife, and other topics of interest to those studying different phases of biology, the science of life. Attendance at the Audubon Lectures is obligatory for all students registered in the Life Science courses. DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL EDUCATION FOR LIFE SCIENCES H. M. Johnson, S. P. Hayes, R. W. Monk, E.
