Yet amidst all the turmoil and disturbance, there were no signs of hysteria among those who firmly held the guiding reins of the college in their hands, tho often the aggravating situations that arose almost warranted it. The spirit of Amherst never weakened- but proudly withstood and survived all blows and shocks. Obviously the college is greatly indebted to those who worked so faithfully and so well that we might return and find a true Amherst awaiting us in which to continue and further our studies. Yet for all this, we can but in a small measure pay the just tribute that is due our own Prexy , Georgie Olds, Tom Esty, and all those members of the faculty who so ably assisted them in the hourof need for both our country and our college.

The Amherst undergraduate with his usual versatility has again become the embryo cultured gentleman seeking a liberal education. The faculty amidst all this turmoil was not by any means left intact. But with the return of the undergraduates came many of those professors whose absence was most keenly felt by all. Professor Lancaster has returned after a long stay in France as a Y. M. C. A. secretary with the French Army. Professor Cobb, a captain in the Aviation service stationed at Washington, is again a source of inspiration for the bewildered minds of the freshmen mathematicians. Professor Nelligan, formally in charge of athletics at Camp Devens with the rank of captain is using his experience with marked effect in the Physical Educa- tion Department. Professor Toll, also a captain, was in charge of the Psycholog- ical Board at Camp Custer, and has now resumed his duties in the philosophy department. Professors Gettell, Hamilton, and Stewart have discontinued their periodical stays at Washington, where they were engaged in work on sev- eral of the most important boards dealing with the governrnent's internal policies. Professor Gallinger has returned to the History department from a year's study at Columbia. Finally, Professor Marsh has been released from his duties as a divisional athletic director with the rank of lieutenant, and is again making his active personality felt in the gymnasium classes, On the other hand a number of our old friends on the faculty, are still in service. Professor F. L. Thomp- son is in France as a Y. M. C. A. secretary. Professor Churchill is still in the Massachusetts Senate, on leave. Professor Utter is in France as a member of the Educational Commission that is co-operating with the French universities in the work carried on by the American Auxiliary Forces. Professor N ewlin is engaged in educa- tional work for the Y. M. C. A. in New York. Professor Stowellis on leave, in California, recuperating in health' and studying. Mr. Lowell who is connected with the Camp Devens library is expected back this fall. i Last, but not least, in our brief history is the faculty's freshman delegation. Professor O. C. Glaser has come to us from the University of Michigan to take charge of the biology department as the Stone Professor a chair vacant since the days of Professor Tyler. The original and interesting handling of his courses promises fair to make him a suitable successor to our own Tip. Professors Gallinger, Manthey-Zorn and I. O. Thomp- son have been made full professors, and are to be obeyed and be respected accordingly. 'Professor Schintz of the Smith College Faculty is crossing the river every week to assist the French department in Professor Stowell's absence. Professor Schmaltz was added to the Physical Educational Department in the absence of Professor Marsh. In the History department, Mr. Dickinson, fresh from graduate work at Princeton and .1 year's service as a staff officer at Washington, is doing valuable work. Mr. Swift after study in Greece and act Princeton has become, it is hoped, a permanent addition to the Greek department. H. E. lones '18 and I S Meiklejohn '18 are assistants in Biology and Social and Economic Institutions respectively. Since Professor Goodale has given up his position as Registrar and is devoting himself entirely to his Botany courses Miss G. A. Kimball is doing much of his work under the title of Recorder of the college. W H V k . 3
