Show jUSt* ■ill mr i TWO YEAR NURSING PROGRAM AT WEBER COLLEGE Division of Life Sciences O. Whitney Young, Chairman American democracy will be more secure when an enlightened citizenry has been educated to conserve natural resources of soil, forests, wild-life, watersheds, grazing areas, and health. One aim of the Division of Life Sciences is to develop an attitude of responsibility toward these natural resources so that America may remain strong and not decline as have so many civilizations of the past. To develop this attitude a student should become familiar with the essential oneness of all life; with the fact that nothing stands alone, that no matter how small or insignificant, each living thing fills a niche in the great economy of nature. A student should become acquainted with the influence of heredity and environment. He should learn to appreciate nature and gain power in observation by laboratory work and field trips. Such aims carried out in the life science courses should prepare the student to: (1) transfer to senior institutions for more advanced work in medicine, denistry, nursing, and related fields; in wildlife management, forestry and agriculture; in home economics, and physical education; and (2) enter the life of industry and business if he decides to take no more schooling after leaving Weber College.
