AS a result Of our recent war a
spirit of investigation has been Great
ed in the minds of lovers of science.
The whole world has been startled
at new scientific discoveries and has
been convinced that there are still
more to be found and with this be-
lief in mind they are putting forth
strenuous efforts to reveal as many
more new facts as possible
The conditions of the bodies of
some Of the wounded soldiers during
the war made 1t possible for study
by medical men, which could never
be done under ordinary conditions
are now able to get more efficient
service from physicians.
This necessitated the use of
chemicals. inventions governed by the
laws and principles of physics and in
fact every phase of science was used
in the salution of the problem. This
accounts for the interest now mani
tested in scientific work.
Bishop students have been no less
Interested in the developments in
science. and the authorities of the
school seeing their interest and need
for it, have spared no pains in pro-
Viding necessary equipment In order
that they might satisfy that desire.
