HONORING I ' oSEY Returning from his year ' s sabbatical in Hawaii, where the sentiment was about (Hvicled as to whether the students should or should not wear shoes to the University, Dr. Walter Brownlow Posey reassumed his chairmanship of the Division of Social Sciences. Noted for his long-winded but thought-provoking method of questioning students, a keen mind, and a wife who should have been a writer, he scares Fresh- men to jitters by brandishing class-cards, be- fore them each time one bobbles an answer. POOR Although he will tell you that in his opin- ion there is no oil in Alabama, Dr. Russell S. Poor this year condescended to lead a group of experts in search of the liquid. He came back with an I-told-you-so smile.

McWILLIAMS The big subject in the mind of Mr. Mc- VVillianis is no longer Chaucer ' s astrological computations or the power of the comita- tus in Beazvulf. No. Richebourg Gaillard, Junior, sends him to class these days with such astounding statements as : A child cannot focus its eyes until it is several weeks old. Between such statements, Richebourg. vSr., heads the Humanities Division. [«]
