Growth and Vision A STRIVING for greater attainments, An aim and a goal within sight, Hard work, hard thought, and advancement To reach the life-giving light- That's growth. A hopeful outlook for the future, A dream of that ultimate goal, A promise once made by a prophet, An inward push on of the soul- Thai's vision. JOHN G. LIND Department of Exact Science MUCH of the success obtained in the exact science department is a result of the splendid work of Dr. J. G. Lind, department head, whose aim in instructing, is to give students a greater appreciation and understanding of the natural processes which are going on in the world. During the past year the Geology and Mineralogy departments have taken vast steps towards the realization of their dream, a dream of be- coming one of the best and most efficiently equipped departments of the kind to be found within the state. Four new specimen cases were annexed to the laboratory at the beginning of this school year. With these new cases came the addition of new specimens which include one hundred ten specimens of rocks, and two collections of rock-forming minerals, which represent the chief rocks and rock-forming minerals of the Western States. Many metals which are representative of the mines of Utah have also been included in the laboratory equipment. Not only has the laboratory been materially increased, but likewise the recitation room facilities have been improved by the placement of plaster of paris relief maps which picture for students the mountains and the surrounding regions of Utah, and by the acquisition of valuable literature, published by the United States Geological Survey. With such improvements the Geological division of this department is now well prepared to give a very complete three-year course in Geology and Mineralogy. The Chemistry division, which is of no less importance than the Geological division of this department, has also progressed during the past year. Within this Department are found appliances and chemicals sufficient to offer a complete three-year standard course in Chemistry.
