MR ALLEN. MR COOK MERICAN LITERATURE American Litcr.uure at Middlebury is entirely sepa- rated from the regular English courses. Headed by Professor Reginald L. Cook, Chairman since 1929, and assisted by Mr. George W. Allen, the department offers a popular major and includes, besides regular subjects, Special Research Courses in Emerson and Thoreau. BIOLOGY If it ' s Biology, we can do it. Long the slogan of this department, the new initiate will hear it upon his entrance into the Baby Bug lab. Among the courses offered are: Gen- eral Biology, Anatomy, Physiology of Plants, Physiology, Bacteriology, Ge- netics, Embryology and Histology. In other words, from the above you may learn the development of the world and its inhabitants Irom the microscopic amoeba to that complex creature called man. At the head of the department is Professor Samuel E. Longwell. As Assistant Professors of Biology, Charles D. Howell and Rex N. Webster con- tribute their share towards making it a really worthwhile field to pursue. DR. REX WEBSTER. DR SAMUEL LONGWELL, DR CHARLES HOWELL. JAMES MORROW.

OUR FACULTY This vc.ir at Middlcburv lias been a year of changes, not only for students, whose future plans have been disrupted by the impending military training, but also for faculty members. Because of the unrest of the times, because of sabbatical leaves and illnesses, the students have seen new faces up in front. .And so we feel that this page devoted to new faculty members serves a good intro- duction to our faculty. STANDING — MR. CHARLES HICKOX. MR. LAURENCE BARRETT. MR. SAMUEL GUARNACCIA. MR THEODORE ZAREMBA SEATED PROF WILLIAM MADDEN, PROF. THEODORE WEILER When the Middlebury students returned last fall, they were greeted by a number of new personalities on the teaching staff. Not all of these, however, were new to Middle- bury. Mr. George Akerstrom, one of the alumni, replaces Mr. Nash as Instructor in the de- partment of Physical Education. Mr. Charles Hickox, after having spent several years studying at the University of Oklahoma, returned to assume the duties of Instructor of Geology. After spending some time in further study, Mr. Samuel Guarnaccia returned as coach of FACULTY freshman football and as Instructor in the Spanish and Italian departments. Mr. Cameron McGraw, of the class of 1940, returned to the Music Department as an assistant. Mr. Theodore Weiler fills the vacancy left by Professor Sholes of the Sociology De- partment, who is on sabbatical leave. Mr. Laurence Barrett has joined the teach- ing staff of the English Department. After obtaining a Master ' s Degree at Syra- cuse University, Mr. William Madden became an Assistant Professor in the Psychology De- partment. 21

(;;;hemistry when Middlebuiy Collci;c is dis- cussed among people who arc strangers to the school, it is usually referred to as a fine institution in the held of mod- ern languages and English. Quite true, but little do such strangers realize the fame of the Middiebury Chemistry Department among those well versed in the field. It is a department both progressive and impressive. Twelve percent of the graduating class of 1940 were chem majors. The curriculum offered by the department includes General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Quan- titative Analysis, Biological Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, as well as a sepa- rate department of Household Chem- istry for the women of the college.
