During ten successful years at Macalester College, President Charles J. Turck has promoted the principle of freedom in education at Macalester College. The faculty staff has increased proportionally, as student enrollment increased. In addition to giving lectures and quizzes in the classroom, faculty members proffer friendship and advice to both new and old students. As one of the additions to the college this year, the Depart- ment of Journalism was established in July, 1948. Prof. A. Phillips Beedon is the new department head. Previously, stu- dents interested in journalism, received a major in Communi- cations. Most of the faculty members believe in putting their prin- ciples of teaching into practice. In the field of practical poli- tics, Dr. William P. Tucker, head of the political science de- partment, was elected Representative of the 4-2nd District South, in St. Paul, in the 1948 election. The integrity, activities, interest and high standards of Macalester's professors will influence, directly and indirectly, the vocational and social contributions of the future.
