A total of six members of the previous year ' s Faculty were carried beyond the Wesleyan cam- pus, but Time and Change compen- sated better then two-fold by cast- ing up no less than thirteen addi- tions to help tend the record 1947- 48 student enrollment. Two resignations, those of Dr. Hans Tischler, Professor of Music, and Dr. Samuel D. Marble, Professor of Political Science, were balanced in the professorial rank by two additions. Dr. E. V. Bowers, Pro- fessor of Psychology, and Dr. George H. McKee, Professor of Spanish. Professor Tischler left Wesleyan after a period of two year ' s service. Professor Marble, after one year here, left to become President of Wilmington College, Wilmington, Ohio — ■ the youngest college president in the country. Professor Bowers come to Wes- leyan after a distinguished twenty- five years of service at Marshall College, the last six of which he served as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Professor McKee was associated with the New Lon- don extension of the University of Connecticut before coming to Wes- leyan. SAMUEL A. SMALL Professor of English JOSE A.

7 zcu(tcf. One of the final effects wrought by Change at the close of the 1946-47 schoolyeor was the retirement of Ora Douglass Curry. After twenty years of service, fourteen of them as College Librarian, Mrs. Curry joined the distinguished ranks of the Members Emeritus of the Wesleyan Faculty. Like most of her fellow Emeriti, however, Mrs. Curry has continued to give part of her time to serving Wesleyan As for the other Members Emeritus, Change continued to rock them gently in the forward current of the pulsing time-river. Dr. Haught spent part of the schoolyeor working with Alumni Secretary Foster on the Alumni Directory which was published early in the year. Former President Fleming (1915-1922) participated in the successful campaign held early in the schoolyeor to raise the second $100,000 required to begin construction on the proposed Men ' s Dormitory Group; he has also been active in forming a committee of the Methodist Attorneys of West Virginia to work with the College in the matter of settling wills and bequests. Mrs. Neil has continued, in view of the record enrollment of students, to meet classes in the required Fundamentals of Speech course — a typical gesture of the selfless giving which has endeared Mrs, Neil to many students and graduates of the College. Mrs. Ogden is living in retirement at her home in Hadley, Pennsylvania. THOMAS W. HAUGHT Professor of Geology, Emeritus 1896-1941 WALLACE B.
