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.
