B.V.M., head of the ail department, which appeared in the first issue of the Christian Social Art QUARTERLY published by the Catholic Col lege Art Association. Sister Mary Janet defines art with a statement of Eric Gill that Art is skill in doing and skill in making, and that doing is an activity directed to an end in view the end in view being man's good, his last good, Heaven. What makes a man a Christian should make Art Christian, Sister Mary Janet explains. Art has been said to be the manifestation of man's love for God, as creation is the manifesta tion of God's love for man. Since beauty and truth are inseparable. Sister points out, Christian Art need not be expressed only in religious pictures, statues, and ecclesiastical objects. Truth, beauty, and goodness go hand in hand.

Schmeing Believes Micro-chemistry enables scientists and research workers to perform ex periments in one-tenth of the usual time required for experimentation, declared Professor George M. Schmeing, of the Loyola and Mundelein chemistry depart ments, in a lecture before the physical science section of the Science Forum on Feb. 28. Professor Schmeing believes that the introduction of micro-chemistry that type of experimentation which employs tiny apparatus and correspondingly small portions of original materials will great ly facilitate research and conserve valu able chemical materials, and will, more over, make extremely fine experimenta tion much easier than it has been in the past. Presenting to his audience a tinker toy which represented the structure of a ' molecule of thyroxin, Professor Schmeing remarked the importance of that com pound and the great advantage of its synthesis in making available larger quantities for pharmaceutical use. He pointed out the fact that a few milli grams of thyroxin can make the differ ence between an idiot and a sane per son with marked executive ability. To illustrate the miniature character of micro-chemistry materials, Professor Schmeing declared that the small parti cles used by scientists in micro-chemi cal experimentation may be weighed to Ihe sixth decimal place with accuracy, milligrams being subdivided into alphas, betas, and gammas. Micro-chemistry is widely used in graduate work and it is now being in troduced in the Mundelein chemistry laboratory, in the qualitative analysis course, which is conducted on a semi- micro scale.
