Stevenson, Chairman To help preserve and strengthen the democracy in which we live, it is urgent that the scientist, the engineer, and the technician receive a rounded education concerning the environment in which he lives. This requires a liberal amount of general education along with the professional or vocational training. One of the best ways to make this world a better place in which to live is to develop ways and means to see that atomic energy, radar, chemistry, engineering, technological, and other science creations which have proved so devastating in war, are harnessed and applied jvith equal zest for the constructive uses of mankind. The world today is in a critical state of underproduction. Trained men and women are desperately needed to speed up the productive power of the nation and of the world, and to apply the results of this productive power to secure a more humanitarian, democratic, economic, and professional way of life. In order to meet these challenges and the needs of students, the Division offers courses and a two-year curricula developed to serve the following major groups of students: 1. Those who desire to transfer to a senior institution at the end of two years and who major in mathematics or the following physical sciences: chemistry, geography, geology, and physics; or in the pro- fessioal fields of chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, or aeronautical engineering; or in the professional mineral industries programs of mining, metallurgy, geology, mineralogy, meteorology, fuel, and ceramic technology. 2. Those who plan to transfer to senior institutions at the end of two years. 3. Non-science majors who desire to round out their education and to meet group requirements with courses in physical science and mathematics. 4. Those who desire to complete their formal education and enter employment in technical and sub-professional fields at the end of two years, and who need special two-year programs and curricula in architectural technology, general engineering technology, and radio technology. A student majoring in the Division of Mathematics and Physical Sciences is urged to take the interest inventory and the special aptitude test that is recommended by the respective departments, and consult with an adviser prior to registration. A general education course in the Physical Science Division is being prepared for the 1949-50 school year to meet group requirements. Students other than majors in this division should watch for the supplementary catalogue announcement concerning this course.
