LIBERAL ARTS IIULLEBE DEAN LUTHER W. STALNAKBR, head of the college of libcral arts, is dean of the university's largest college. Professor and head of the philosof phy department since 1929, Dean Stalnaker took charge of liberal arts affairs in.194O. His office in the administration building serves as the unoflicial information bureau and clearingfhouse for the troubles of the university. During his undergraduate years at Drake from 1916f192O, Dean Stalnaker set an allftime university record by being graduated with a better than A average-this along with his activities in campus groups such as Helmet and Spurs, English club, and Phi Beta Kappa, Small wonder that Drake Students and faculty have unlimited respect and liking for the deepfvoiced, perennially hatless campus figure whose leadership is so important to the university. Dean Stalnaker was the chairman for the Instif tute of Pan American Relations and Prof. Roy L. Miller was secretary. The Weste1'11 Policy committee of the Washing' ton, D. C. oflice of the coordinator of InterfAmerif can affairs, cooperated with Drake in securing a group of prominent LatinfAmerican experts from both the United States and South America for the twofday session. General theme of the 1942 Institute Was: Prob' lems of the Americas Today and Tomorrow. DEAN LUTHER W. STALNAKER An undergraduate department of religion was established in the liberal arts college this fall. Sterling Brown, assistant pastor of the university Church of Christ and a member of the Bible col' lege faculty, was selected as the head of the new department. A nationfwide trend toward increased interest in religion on the part of college students pointed toward this time as a favorable one for launching the new department. An informal survey taken last winter showed that college students throughout the country were attending church in greater num' bers than before the outbreak of war. This college also had charge of an eightfweek civilian pilot training course. First Row: Philip H. Taylor, Alfred L. Severson, and Paul Barrus Second Row: Herman F.
