DEAN MACOMBER education Under the guidance of Dean E. C. Macomber, who came to Drake in 1946, the education college is becoming one of the most modern and practical in the country. Dean Macomber believes that many colleges of education recommend new and advanced methods of teaching yet do not apply them within their own colleges. Therefore, prac- tice what you preachv has become the philosophy behind education courses taught at Drake. Dean Macomber received his bachelor of arts degree from the University of Washington and master of arts and doctor of education degrees from Leland Stanford university. He served five years in the army, part of which was spent as executive officer of the army academic division at Biarritz, France. Page I4 PROP. STRINCFELLOW Bible Professor Ervin E.
