THE W ' hur is W ' lkc Forest Clollcgc- . I;i bc it is hftecn huiid- ings, and t ent -tour acres ot ground, and over a mile ot brick walks. i Ia be it is ninety-seven professors, and hft ' adminis- trative workers, . la be it is 1,898 students, from thirt ' -three states and from such far-away places as Alaska, Brazil and Trini- dad. .Maybe it is thirteen students named Davis, and seventeen named Williams, and twenty named Johnson, and hundreds of others named everything from Abernethy to Zrakas. .Maybe it is classes in art and aquatics, band and banking, calculus and counterpoint, epistemology and electronics, physics and foreign trade, government and genetics, Milton and Alolierc, play production and Plato, Xenophon and Zoology. Or maybe it is a cheery Hello from a student you never saw before, or from Dean Bryan or President Kitchin. .Maybe it is yelling yourself hoarse at football games and pep rallies, or pausing with your fellow students tor twilight vespers. Maybe it is staying up late nights to learn organic chemistr -, or to discuss the problems of lite — I ' ll mention a spade. . . . but that third question, the one on Alexander Pope, . . . and then she gives me this stutl atiout having to wash her hair. Wake Forest College ma ' be all these things, but it is also something more. It is yoiK and a li ing spirit which ou help keep alive. Those who are really a part of Wake Forest can feel this spirit. It is tangible and real — more real than any amount ot buildings, or people, or courses of study. Ask an old grad, he 11 tell you. .Much that is now W ake Forest w ill change or disappear, as ou will see tor yourself if you come back to visit in future ears. Bur the Wake Forest spirit will never die. This tirst book of the 1949 Howler is a record of the people who were a part of the W ' ake F ' orest spirit in 1948 and 1949, and of some of the things they did. Here )ou will meet the administration and faculty, who constitute the more stationary part of the college, and the students, who gave it the individ- ualit ' which made it what it was this year. The first section gives a picture of administration officials and assistants and the duties they perform, and a glimpse at some of President Kitchin ' s daih ' activities. The faculty section is split up into academic departments. I here is a brief presentation of the work of each department, and then a quick look at the personal activities of some of the professors. I he ne.vt section presents classes, outstanding seniors and typical classroom scenes. Book One ends with the stor of the law school, including legal tratcrnitics, the Bar Association, and a t pical moot court session. 21
