Faculty and Administration Change yields to change in fifty years- buildings, techniques, courses, faces- but the essence of a college remains: the classroom and the teacher and the student. ln the classroom the smell of chalk and fresh mimeo ink, of raccoon collars and perfume, the low cough, the nervous titter during a test, the hearty laugh, pen scratch and the tick of clock, scrawl on the board, the sun through slanted vents, the Flag- all the familiar and the everyday here for all, a world of ideas. From high school teachers part time to l53 full-time college instructors with eighteen Ph.D.'s- filling the boards with yellow formulae, the test tube with acid and base, ovens with pottery and bottle with formaldehyde plus a frog, the false sky with constellations and purpled ditto with poetry, and all the minds with thought. And if the pupil hears over the stomach's growl at 12: 18, sees beyond the feet of the lass who fidgets in the front row seat, thinks beyond the eager anticipation of spring vacation and ignores the tension knarls, recalls the printed page of late night hours and guick last-minute glance at penciled notes, in the moments of examination a new light dawns, an eye is opened, a friend is made, and the pupil becomes a student.
