engineering, geology, law, not to
mention physics.
Perhaps the greatest strides
have been made in medicine. The
availability of tracers, such as
radioactive iodine, make possible
the investigation of numerous
biological, chemical and physical
phenomena associated with the
human ,body.
Control Parasites

tumors of the abdomen, thyroid,

soft tissues are stored :d be used
for surgical transplatation, and
perfecting a method of sterilizing
living bone tissue.
High level gamma radiation has
been used experimentally to dis-
infect river water. and ,sewage.
T';he project also ;serves °public
and scientific interests with' its
radiocarbon dating techniques.
This laboratory work fixes through
Carbon 14 disintegration dates of
various prehistoric materials and
objects. Skulls from the Himalyas,
tusk fragments from New Mexico
and agricultural tools from Mex-
ico have all been dated from the
'University facilities.
Legal Scope
Legal problems involved. in the
use of the. atom have their place
in the project's scope. The Atomic
Unergy Research Program of the
University's Legal Research In-
stitute serves as a clearing house
for national and-'international'
complications in law.
At present the project is con-
sidering new methods of financing
itself when the $2 million raised
by the last fund drive in 1959 runs
out.
While the project has a budget
of approximately $400,000 a year,
the University \contributes slightly
less than $100,00. Among the al-
ternatives now being considered,,
the project could ask the Univer-
sity to raise its share of the costs,
seek federal support as well as
having the government -support
specific grants or ask industry, to
contribute more to its upkeep.
Additional money is desired :t'
modernize the 10 year old reactor
in order to. expand and conduct
more elaborate experiments.

began with former acting-Presi-
dent Harry S. Frieze, w ho served
? as curator of the. collections until .
his death in 1889. On a European
trip he purchased a collection of
engravings and photographs and
copies of classical sculpture to illu-
strate his lectures on the Arts of
Classical Antiquity.
First Donation
The first important original
work was donated to the Univer-
sity by alumni in- 1862. It was a
sculpture entitled "Nydia," by the'
American sculptor Randolph Rog-
ers, who had spent his youth in
American and who later became
one of the leading figures in the
Classical Revival.
-The University collections moved
from one building- on campus to
another, until they. were finally
established. in Alumni Memorial
Hall on its completion in 1910.
Lewis Bequest
In the meantime, almost 500
paintings by European artists of
the 19th century had, been be-
quested , to the University by
Henry C. Lewis of Coldwater.
Collections of Egyptian anti-
qutiels of the first to third cen-
turies after Christ were expanded
'by archaeological° .expeditions of
Prof. Francis W. Kelsey. They.
were the beginnings of the Kelsey
Museum of Archaeology.
In 1946, the Museum of .Art
became an administrative unit,
and the University embarked on
an incidenral program. The' Mar-;
garet Watson Parker bequest pro-
vided for "over 600 items to 'be
iven to the. University. This is
"the most important single col-'
lection of works of art acquired
by the University to date," Prof.
Charles H. Sawyer, director of the
art museum, said.
Recently, the museum's acquisi-
tion program was extended to in-
clude early Western art since the
Sixth Century A.D., Near and Far
Eastern art including India, but
with emphasis on Japan and
China.
The University requires that
certain courses be taken "to pro-
vide all students with a broad in-
tellectual experience in the major
fields of knowledge."
The first required courses that
a student meets are in English
composition: English 123 and 124.
The emphasis in these classes is
the writing of effective prose. The
students who receive an A grade
in the first course are exempted
from the second, but are expected
to take some other English
course.
Dur in g orientation freshmen
take a foreign language placement
test. This test m i enable him to
the four semester profiency re-
quirement. However, the Univer-
sity provides 13 languages to meet
the foreign language distribution
requirement.
The most hours are required in
the social sciences. Fourteen se--
mester hours of work are needed
in at least two departments.
Twelve hours of work are re-
quired in the ,natural sciences.
This includes a two semester lab-
oratory sequence.
To meet the humanities require-
mint a student must complete a
two semester sequence in one sub-
ject.
Most of these requirements must
be met in the first 60 hours of
study. The distribution courses
. may not be used for concentration
in a major.
