1970’s and 1980’s |
For
several decades science faculty were housed in and science courses
were offered by the Department of Quantitative and Natural Sciences (QNS).
The QNS Department included both of what is now the Mathematics and
Science Departments. At this time all science courses were listed by
the College as “natural science courses” and held the prefix NS.
During the 1970's and 1980’s the Natural Sciences faculty consisted
of three full time members. For most of the 1970’s and 1980’s, one of
the full time science faculty members served as the Head of the QNS
Department, Professor Felix (Phil) Defino.
