A proposal recommending the re
placement of Chemistry 5 and 13
with Chemistry 3 and 4 or 1 and

tion of a new 4 hour course in

Cotntcw Llneota Journal ing to Dr.
Eldrldge Franklin Eld
ridge, Associate Director of Resi
dent Instruction.
The recommendation has been
submitted as a final report from the
committee studying chemistry
teaching on the Ag campus. The
proposal was adopted unanimous
ly by the committee, he said.
Included in the final report is a
newly recommended sequence of
courses which could be available
to the student; a general sylla
bus for Chemistry 1 and 2 as taught
in recent years; and the proposed
outline for the new course in bio
chemistry, he said.
The committee reviewed the
courses and curricula offered by
other land-grant agricultural col
leges , to provide a background
knowledge of the organization of
chemistry course work elsewhere,
Eldridge said.
It was the impression of the com
mittee that the requirements in
chemistry were below the average
of the colleges reviewed in num
ber of hours of chemistry required
and In scope of chemistry covered,
Eldridge said.
"Should the new proposal be
adopted, it is hoped the change
would eliminate some of the prob
lems for the student who wishes
to continue-bis education in fields
using chemistry, offer a general
biochemistry course for students
not interested in specializing in
chemistry or biochemistry, and do
away with such a concentrated
chemistry course as Chemistry 5,"
he said.
For students with an adequate
high shool chemistry course, the
change would result in a decrease
of two hours of chemistry, unless
the new course in Agricultural and
Food Biochemistry was to be re
quired, he said.

organizations that have been con

functions of Farmers Fair. The

merger will result in a bigger and
better Farmers Fair, and will
create more interest in its activi

body on these amendments will
result in the continuation of the
Farmers Fair Board which would
