1982-1983 Academic Catalog

102 Professors: Donald P. Baumann, Chairman; Larry S. Helmick, Daniel E. Wetzel Associate Professors: L. E. Eimers, Lawrence N. Killian, John E. Silvius Assistant Professors: Edwin S. Braithwaite, Terry L. Phipps, Dennis R. Flentge Part-Time Faculty: Austin D. Elmore, Professor Emeritus, L. Bert Frye The Department of Science and Mathematics is comprised of biology, chemistry and physics, and mathematics. This department aims to acquaint the student with the field of science and to aid him in developing clear and orderly thinking processes through the use of the techniques of science and mathematics. The department seeks to help the student to ap– preciate 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 sci– ences; to prepare secondary teachers of science with a Biblical perspective of science; to serve in other types of employment. Ex– perience has shown a major in mathematics to be unique prepara– tion for seminary. Requirements for Major in Biology.
