The smell of fo1'malde- l1yde and those all-night cramming sessions for zoo blue books are unforgettable memories of one's exposure to animal biology.

Chemistry Geology ancl Geography WHILE ANXIOUS STUDENTS impatiently look at their watches after Willis has declared the end of the period, Dr. Kaufmann, chairman of the department, bravely carries on. Surprisingly enough no one really minds because his dramatic explanations and wry sense of humor add spice and charm to the elements Dr. Seifertis knowledge of radioactive matter impresses everyone, especially beginners, while Dr, Hart keeps us just as awe-struck with his discussion of qual and quant. Dr. Hammer is the easy-going likeable scientist whether bal- ancing equations or jarring sensitive ears by scratching on the black- board. OUR GEOLOGIST .mn Gi-:OGRAPHER have much in common. Both graduated from Nlichigan as did their predecessor, Dr. Gould. Dr. Wilson, who served as a Lieutenant Commander in the Naval Reserve, was given back to Carleton recently by the O.S.S., and Dr. Stewart taught geologic interpretation to the army engineers at Lehigh University during the war. Back SQCIQIQQY on the CARLETON-front, Dr. Stewart handles the fossils and rocks, and Dr. Wilson encourages those with a wanderlust via field- trips. Between them they claim to know everything about rivers and mountains. Dr. Strong no longer heads Macalester's soc department, but has given Carleton students the benefit of his genuine interest in - his fellow men. His colorful stories of his daughter or the man who sat next to him on the train add to his lectures and help us to see people his way, too. Professor Phelan is an old friend as he has been here since 1928 teaching Rural Soc and Fields of Social VVo'rk, his chief interests. Somewhere, too, he managed to squeeze in a lot of traveling. Mr. Klapp, our criminology specialist, is the Navy's gift to Carleton this year. THOUGH DR. GINGRICH, head of the math department, appears aloofly dignified, he is always ready with a pleasant word and a smile for students. Dr. Wegner, long familiar to Carletonites, gives helpful advice as an advisor to many underclassmen, l DV- NIH-yis infectious g1'in and easy manner no less than his acid wit make him one of the most sought-after teachers. hliss Beasley, new to the Carleton campus, makes her classroom lectures popular by her sincere interest in her students.

During the winter months, they appear to hibernate, and then, come spring, they are back at it again, pulling up trees and specimens. When Dr. Pettingill, that bird man with all the colored pictures, hasn't run off in search of a whooping crane, he de- votes just as much attention to his students as he does to the almost extinct bird. LANGUAGE STUDY to Dr. Houghton, who has been at Carleton for twenty-five years, is a great delightf, His sixty-odd languages are not only his profession but also his hobby. Everyone knows him for his friendly nature and his patience with his students. Mr. Rayment, a new professor and another Michi- gan graduate, has taken on the position of assisting with the Romans leaving Dr. Houghton with his Greeks MR. VERBRUGGE is the curly-haired man who amazed his class one day with his unique way of lighting a bunsen burner with one hand while a match slowly burned down in the other. His pupils love him. how- ever, for it is a scientist's prerogative to be forgetful. He is aided in explaining the principles of electricity and sound in the laboratory by Mr. Henry. B1-:s1'i:c'TAcLi:n Dr. Puknat presides over Die Herren und Die Frauen who have the desire to become pro- ficient in German. In this momentous task, Dr. Kubitz, Dr. Menge, and Dr. Oleson play a big part. Dr. Kubitz is a philosopher besides being a linguist: her classes are aided by the material for her forthcoming book. The man whose voice resounds throughout tvillis is Dr. llenge. A student entering the German department is subjected to everything from scientific German to prose lab and the usual conversation clasws which specialize in the correct answers to taxi drivers and land-ladies. , N QQ! xi . li . i X ....
