NEW SCIENCE ERA OPENS AT AUGUSTANA
Augustana's capabilities for instruction in the
natural sciences took a tremendous upsurge this
fall with the opening of the ultra-modern Gilbert
Science Center. The new era was ushered in dur-ing
Convocation I of the Science Dedicatory Year,
November 18-19, when Dr. Willard F. Libby, No-bel
prize winning chemist from UCLA, spoke be-fore
an assemblage of visiting scientists.
Convocation II, March 3-4, will feature ad-dresses
by Dr. Frank A. Brown, Jr., Morrison pro-fessor
of biology at Northwestern University.
Tentative plans also call for a science-theological
convocation later in 1967.
Dr. S. G. Froiland, chairman of the Natural
Science Division, has estimated that nearly three
fourths of Augustana's full time students make
use of the $2,000,000 science structure during a
week's time.
Hundreds of people have been given con-ducted
tours of the giant new building and its
facilities which are unmatched in the Upper Mid-west.
We present in this issue of "Augustana To-day"
a capsule tour of only a few of the impres-sive
features of the Center. You really have to
see it to believe it.
A Foucault pendulum, left, swings through the three story foyer
staircase area of the Center. It is designed to demonstrate the axial
rotation of the earth.
Augustana's alumni, through their contributions, made possible the
beautiful and functional 300 seat amphitheatre. Dr. Milton Hanson is
giving a lecture before a chemistry class, below.
