Biol. Club Formed;
Plans Many Trips
An organization meeting of the first
Biology Club of State, was held at
3:20, February 13, in room 2fi(), under
the direction of Dr. Douglas. The
need for an out-of-door club lias long
been felt, especially by the majors and
minors of that department, to give
them a better opportunity to gain such
knowledge of the out-of-doors as they
would need in teaching.
The club proposes to have an organized hike to some point of interest at
least every two weeks, under the direction of Professor Woodard, Dr. Douglas, Miss Scotland, or Miss Woman.
Beside invigorating walks through the
country, and many good times, the
members are promised new knowledge
of trees and shrubs, birds, fossils, and
spring flowers, without the thought of
an examination at the end of the
semester.
JOHNSON GETS DEGREE
The official bulletin of the University of the State of New York comments as follows upon one of the
honorary degrees conferred by State
College last June:
" In recognition of bis many years
of service in the field of education,
the New York State College for
Teachers in June conferred the honorary degree of doctor of pedagogy on
VVillard D. Johnson who is supervisor
of training classes for the Education
Department.
Doctor Johnson was graduated from
the New York Stale College, for
Teachers in 1891. He has been connected with the department since 1904.
Few men in the department are more
widely known or honored among the
school people of the State. Prior to
coining to the department, Doctor
Johnson was principal of the Coopers*
town High School for many years."
