9 CMAQ? if Ctlneelf' XVith Colonel Fleet came Colonel Hugh Grundy Glascock as head- master, which post he held until his retirement in 1930. He then became Superintendent Emeritus, in recognition of his services as acting Superintendent during 1Vorld IVar I. In 1926 Admiral Hugh Rodman, who had commanded the Amer- ican tteet in the North Atlantic during the Ivorld IVar and retired from the Navy in 1923, came to Culver to direct the Summer Schools. In 1938 he was elected to the Board of Directors and there served the Academy faithfully until his death in 19410. Once in a lifetime comes a man so dynamic and inspiring that the impression he leaves is everlasting. Such is General Leigh Robinson Gignilliat, Superintendent from 1910 to 1939. His in- spiration and leadership are inseparably bound up with Culver's story during those years, and the many sons of Culver who are fortunate enough to know him will be eternally grateful for his kindness, sincerity, and inspiring leadership. Retired from the Superintendency in 1939, he was appointed President of the Culver Educational Foundation. Capably following in the footsteps of these men is Colonel 1Vil- liam Edward Gregory. Corning to the Academy in 1924, Colonel Gregory has held positions as teacher, tactical officer, director of athletics, director of appraisal and personnel, dean, and finally Superintendent in 1939. One of Culverts most active and enthusi- astic leaders, he has brought the name of the Academy to the very top among American secondary schools. Under his guidance we may hope that Culver will rise to new and even greater heights. Top.-Col. WV. E. Gregory Bottom-Gen. L. R. Gignilliat Mr. E. R. Culver Mr. B. B. Culver E291

Anybody can see' at a glance that the picture at the left does not do justice to the situation. This studious lad was hard at work on his Hamlet when the photographer showed up, and he finally condescended to hold the trifling edition of Topper Takes a Trip only under great protest. There are times when we think' that we get to know our teachers very well and times when we' know they know us much too well. Of course, the faculty assem- blies this year did a lot to shake our preconceived notions of what the faculty were like when they stepped out of their traditional roles and turned out to be gangsters, movie stars, and brilliant orators in disguise. But just how well do we know the faculty Pi-these men of pink slips, these intellectual dive bombers, these modern Simon Legrees? What do our administrators do besides sit be- hind mahogany desks and peruse catalogs? VVhat goes on behind the sacred portals in a meeting of the English Department? Wlhat is this strange power that lNIr. Benson has over mice? VVho won the cross-country Pythagorean handicap? Que signifie la phrase: labor omnia vincitv? True or false: 'fCaptain Bishop and his men-o-history are confirmed Republicansv? Is scalpel the feminine of scalp? All these and many other questions will be an- swered in the pages of this section as we glance at our faculty, not as individuals, but as the groups who have guided us through the intellectual labyrinth 1' - of our Careers in the Classroom. l31l
