Miss Mary Stuart MacDougall, professor of biology, is well known in biology circles for her textbook and for her malaria research. We know her as the lady who braved two broken arms in one month without interrupt- ing her teaching schedule, and as a connoisseur of the latest movies and mystery novels. Miss MacDougall looks over the biology text she hi, written . Associate professor of biology, Mr. H. T. Cox is par- ticularly interested in plant anatomy. His hobby of building model railroads has been temporarily curtained by the war. Mrs. Ruth Gray Walker, Miss Victoria Alexander, assistants, and Miss Maysie Lyons, instructor, supervised the biology labs this year. Mr. Cox prepares for a lecture on botany. Mrs. Wallker, Miss Alexander, and Miss Lyons take time out for a laugh. 27

MUSIC The efforts of the music department to popularize music for all in its music appreciation program has been enthusiastically accepted by the college community. Mr. Lewis Johnson, associate professor of music, is best known through the achievements of his vocal stu- dents and the Special Chorus. Mrs. William D. Clarke, Jr., instructor in music, has become one of the campus favorites during her year here. Her charming personality and expert musicianship have made her a forceful director of the Chapel Choir and of the Glee Club. Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Clarke inspire students with their mu- sical ability. Mr. Christian W. Dieckmann, profes- sor of music, is noted for that twinkle that never leaves his eyes for long. The beautiful organ improvisations that he plays with such ease at chapel bear wit- ness to the fact that he is a Fellow of the American Guild of Organists. Miss Eda Bartholomew serves as part-time instructor in piano. She is well beloved for her quiet humor. Mr. Dieckmann and Mrs. Bar- tholomew busy. 28
