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

Colonel W. E. Gregory, Superintendent ur .xgccwfernic an During our Careers at Culver we have constantly be- fore us the example of the men on these pages-the ad- ministrators of our school. Foremost in our minds when we think of Culver leaders is Colonel Gregory, who com- menced his career eighteen years ago as a mathematics instructor and has advanced through a series of posi- tions as Battery tactical officer, administrative officer, and dean, to the superintendency and a membership on the board of directors. However, we think of him not only in terms of his M.Afs, Ph.D.'s, military titles, and public achievements. XVe know him as the fellow who would listen to our troubles, advise us on our present and future academic problems, or deliver us the most force- ful and convincing speeches we ever hope to hear. On May 1st of this year he will set us a fine example when he leaves his command of the Academy for the duration of the war to join the Fifth Armored Division in his country's defense. VVith all our hearts we wish him luck and salute him--a scholar, a gentleman, and a soldier. Wle seldom see the members of the Culver Educational Foundation but are conscious of their influence in many ways. iVe feel close to them, too, in the knowledge that seven out of the eleven members are Culver graduates with an intimate understanding of cadet life and a deep love for the Academy. YVe are grateful to these men of affairs for the time and attention they give to deciding the vital issues at Culver. BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CULVER EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION Colonel Yvilliam E.
