ORIAM . . . l A s ' assist, fwiristiw1ss22ig,g,, W Wig? uixeeisifi ,.,1, ., - LiLf,-L Q, One of the finest memories of a person, we suppose, in this world of ours, is that he has shown a genuine love of life, a sensitivity to it, in all sorts of aspects and corners of experience, and that he has so reflected the living, as to include countless others within his story. To us, Dr. Berg has meant a wonderful and delightful combination of characteristics - a richly endowed and forthright spirit who could debate questions at a meeting or over faculty coffee, then proceed to serious literary considerations during several classes of German literature, give sensible counsel to a student group, and enter into full backgrounds of appreciation for an artistic evening. His knowl- edge was compelling, his versatility amazing, and an innate kindness tempered the two. - Dr. Dorothy McGhee 13 Dr. Kurt Berg

Head Residents aintain Order in Dorms In general, a house mother can assume that she has taken upon her- , self a 24-hour job. This general rule fits well the situation at Hamline, where - with approximately half of the 1000-plus students living on cam- pus - the job of serving as head resident of a dorm is no easy task. With a multitude of problems con- fronting them each day, the Moms,' of Manor, Sorin, and Drew End their work difficult, but never dull. Miss Eulin D-ale, head resident, Manorq Mrs, Ruth Kugel, assistant head resident, Manorg Mrs. Genevieve Lomncs, head resident, Soring Mrs. Merle McGuiness, head resident, Drewg and Mrs. Hulda Danielson, assistant head resident, Drew.

The major objective of the English department is preparation of students for elementary, secondary, and College teaching within the field. It also stresses the need, within any field, for extensive orientation and training in English. not only covering the areas of composition and journalism, but the entire field of literature and drama. It is thus well diversified in its offerings as it more fully prepares the student for work within his chosen profession. Dr. Charles Moyer, Dr. George Vane, Dr. William Stuekey, Miss Barbara Mertz, and Dr. Reginald Buehler, department head. . . . Philosoph and Religion . . . The primary purposes of the philosophy and re- ligion department are, respectively, to force the stu- dent to examine and investigate his life and the world he lives in: and to interpret what Christianity has been and means for the life of the individual. Thus. the departments aims originate out of the eollege's general philosophy. Preparation of pre- seminarians for graduate work is a specific task of the department. Dr. Robert Bobilin. Dr. Thurman Coss. department head, and Mr. Herbert Reinelt. z
