Dr. Stokey Gives Talk On “Botany In Everyday Life”

Dr. Alma G. Stokey, chairman of the department of botany at Mt. Holyoke college, spoke at a chapel service in Chapin auditorium this morning on “Botany in Everyday Life.”  Contradicting the popular opinion that botanists are engaged solely in the study of flowers, Miss Stokey explained that the practical research in botany deals with things used in all aspects of life.

Using a typical student breakfast as her example, Dr. Stokey showed that orange juice, toast, marmalade and coffee are all products of plants on which botanists are doing research.  The study of citrus fruits, yeast used in bread, and the diseases of wheat and coffee plants were among the subjects she listed as being of interest to botanists.  In addition, she said, many countries have government stations investigating the raising of sugar cane.

Dr. Stokey also explained that almost all materials used for clothing are either products of plants or dependent on them for their existence.  The number of botanists who devote their study solely to flowers is relatively small, she said.

Here's what I got about chapel talks from: Prof Charles D. Leedy, chairman of the department of music at Mount Holyoke college, will be the speaker at the Wednesday morning chapel service in Chapin auditorium.  According to a plan to have each Wednesday service assigned to a different academic field, Prof Leedy is speaking for the music department.

So far I have a reports of two chapel talks by Alma:

This makes me think of Fred, who went to medical school in Battle Creek, Michigan, home of Kellogg's, though at the time that Fred was there, breakfast cereal wouldn't have been what Battle Creek was famous for.
