' ' ' ' Science and Mathematics 75 Science and Mathematics Professors: Donald P. Baumann, Chairman; Walter L. Griffeth, Daniel E. Wetzel, Larry S. Helmick Associate Professors: Austin D. Elmore, L. Bert Frye, Lawrence N. Killian Assistant Professor: E. Dane Harvey The Department of Science is comprised of A) Biology, B) Physical Science and C) Mathematics. This Department aims to acquaint the student with the field qf science and to aid him in developing clear and orderly thinking processes through the use of the tech– niques of science and mathematics. The department seeks to help the student to appreciate the facts of creation as studied in the physical and natural sciences. The department has as objectives to prepare students for graduate study or for further professional study in the health sciences; to prepare secondary teachers of science with a Biblical perspective of science; to serve in other types of secular em– ployment. Experience has shown a major in Mathematics to be unique preparation for seminary. Requirements for Major in Biology.
