But these four administrators have been particularly busy and es- sential to Wake Forest this year.

President THURMAN D. KITCHIN Faculty and THE MAN IN THE BIG OVERCOAT and the soft brown hat who walks leisurely up the brick walk seems as much a part of the campus as the magnolias and barberry hedges. And so he is. Dr. Kitchin was a student at Wake Forest for four years, sent three sons through his alma mater, taught on the faculty for over a decade and has been president for almost fifteen years. He has seen and helped the college grow from a men ' s school of 300 to a prospective university. Dr. Kitchin did not leave the profession of a physician when he became president of Wake Forest. He merely changed patients. He now contends not with the diseases and accidents that befall mankind but the damages done by fires and wars to a college. He now diagnoses not appendicitis but institutional growing pains. The skill Administration of a surgeon is seen as he handles the intricate problems connected with the life and growth of the College. The cordial manner of a family doctor appears as he jokes with a student or matches the problems of draft boards, poor grades, and dissatisfied freshmen with friendly and sound advice. The services Dr. Kitchin has rendered have not. how- ever, been limited to this school or even this state. He has written books of wide influence. He has given two sons to service in the battlefronts of this war. He has won recognition and opportunity for further service as a member of the National Committee of Veterans Plan- ning. Every past and present member of the student body has a friend worth having in Dr. Kitchin. a man in whom we place the utmost confidence.

HENRY BROADIS JONES Professor of English CARLTON P. WEST Assistant Professor of Social Science DAl.MA ADOLPH BROUN Instructor of English The Faculty THE FACULTY MEMBERS of Wake Forest College are men and women who are more than just our teach- ers. The are fellow sons and daughter? of Wake Forest, fraternitv brothers, friends. The have heroine a part of our lives and will be remembered long after the poets, the French verbs, the chemical formulas they talked about have become dim and confused blurs in our memories. We learned more from their love of [earning (ban from all the books. The jokes tliex cracked. the yarns they spun, the homely advice they offered made the subject interesting but made the man beloved. Dr. Jones made us feel like personal friends of Shakes- peare. Dr. Griffin introduced us to American Literature. Dr. Folk made Chaucer seem a contemporary, while Professor Brown patiently taught us to write themes. Professor West made European history real, and Dr. Rea showed us what makes the world go round economi- cally. We learned good stories from Professor Memory as well as education. We lost a lot of complacent under Dr. Reid and gained some knowledge of psychology. Ill
