Training in exact thought and accurate handling of apparatus is the invaluable feature of Chemistry 4 for any man in the field of Chemistry or Bio-Chemistry. It is not, however, desirable to take it when one is not planning to achieve more than a knowledge of the elements of Chemistry, for there are long laboratory hours and considerable drudgery connected with the course, and it is not required for Medical School entrance or for concentration in the field of Chemistry...
Since that time the progress of the system has been gradual but continuous. In 1926 the departments of mathematics, biology, and bio-chemical sciences adopted 4t; and in 1928 geology and physics were added to the list; leaving chemistry as the only department with a large number of concentrators that still retains the older methods, and its work is done so much in laboratories that its position is peculiar. The only change in the system has come from a demand by the students themselves. There has been no desire on the part of the University to abandon teaching or examination...
...undergraduate field of concentration. In order to gain admittance to a good medical school, of course, he must take several scientific courses, usually in physics, chemistry, and biology. Since these requirements must be satisfied, and since the student is interested in science, the logical field would appear to be bio-chemistry, biology, or something of the kind. Indeed, this is the choice usually made by premedical students, some of whom never even consider electing such a subject as English or History...
...members of the Club, which is headed by S.J. Winer '33, and includes Richard Proskauer '34, C.M. Agress '33, and Glenn Millikan, Instructor in Bio-Chemistry, in its membership, have also challenged any other House to a race over any course and for any distance up to 20 miles. No definite statement could be had from Samborski, although he intimated that the matter would be given due consideration...
...about the fountains, will they play in the quadrangles?" Alas, no one knew, though the lip thatch lifted to impart the sad news that in the Yard he found no fountains. "Ah, the old order . . ." said '28, who felt he had a flair for words--he had been in Bio-Chemistry...
