DR. SNyOER For the first year since his coming to Wof- ford, Dr. Snyder is not teaching in the class- room. Instead he is at his home on the campus, reading and lecturing. His command of the English language and his keen wit have distinguished him as a speaker. DR. NORTON During his nineteen years as member of the Wofford faculty, Dean C. C. Norton has become well-known in the state as a talented speaker. His understanding of students ' problems and sense of justice combine to make him a natural choice for the position of Dean. Dr. Norton continues at his post of professor of political science and sociology. MR. DAVIS Mr. Davis, an alumnus of Wofford, has been treasurer here for twenty-five years, having returned in 1920 to his Alma Mater. He was the first to serve in the official capacity as Treasurer of Wofford College. Mr. Davis formerly taught in the Fitting School. IS

SX offord Past, Present and Future I began my service as President of Wofford in August, 1942, The College opened with an enroll- ment of 404 students, but by the close of the academic year, 360 of these Wofford men had en- tered some branch of the armed forces. In February, 1943, our student body moved to Converse and Spartanburg Junior Colleges in order that we might devote our entire facilities to the training of a contingent of the Army Air Corps. July, 1944, witnessed the reconversion of Wofford to its normal function as a college — the education of civilian youth. We are proud of the service that Wofford men are giving to their country. Fourteen hundred of them are fighting for freedom in every part of the globe at this time. On May 1, 1945, fifty-two have given their lives to help preserve those things we value above life itself. These we honor and hold in reverent memory. We pray that victory may crown our cause and that this broken, bleeding world may at last know the blessings that come from inter- national understanding, good will, and peace. Walter K. Greene Dr. Walter Kirkland Greene is calmly and capably leading Wofford through what is perhaps the most critical period in her long history. Having come to us from Duke University, where for sixteen years he was Dean of Undergraduate Instruction, Dr. Greene j is our first alumnus president. During the two years in which he has served as President, Dr. Greene has shown a deep insight into | the future needs of Wofford and a profound sympathy il and understanding of students ' problems.
