HL e FACULTY What a year for the Faculty on the Hilltop ! With McWilliams taking over a course in Spanish in the fall besides being head of the depart- ment of humanities, Hutson and his Koine and sociology, and White- house jumping from buenos to bon and gute , they have really been busy. With some of the men leaving for the service, others were teaching entirely new courses. But all in all, from their point of view, it has been a grand year, fun and excitement in spite of hard work, and no sabbaticals. 12

The Thursday afternoon Cellar Hour has proved to be somewhat of an arena for matches between departments and professors. What is literature? has been a source of constant debating. In spite of Aber- nethy ' s admonishing, these boys persisted in arguing about the mer- its of historical truth in Keat ' s poem On First Looking into Chapman ' s Homer , about the merits of English against history, and objecti ity, the scientists, against the world. With a word here and there from an interested student, these professors who were ready visitors to the Coffee Hour were stimulated to witticisms, criti- cisms, and fitticisms when the mo- ment called for them.
