ADVANCED courses in Electrical Engineerinsf are taught by Professor Frederick N. Tompkins 'l8. Power electronics and alternating current machinery are his specific specialties. Dr. Tompkins is pictured at left in the electrical machinery laboratory. Dr. William W. Russell '18 below, professor of chem- istry, is shown in his office in Metcalf Laboratory. Teaching a number of elementary and advanced courses in quantitative analysis, Dr. Russell also finds time for research in the specialized field of heter- ogenesis catalysis, Dr. Russell earned his Ph. B and Sc. M. degrees at Brown, and took his doctorate from Princeton. Tompkins and Russell are typical of the many outstanding graduates of the class of 1918 who have returned to Brown as members of the faculty. Others include Dr. Raymond C. Adams, chairman of the mathematics department, Dr. Zenas R. Bliss, Provost of the University and professor of engineer- ing, and Dr. J. Walter W'ilson, chairman of the biol- ogy department. HONORS courses in Shakespeare, seminars in Ben Johnson, and undergraduate classes concerning 18th Century and Restoration literature are the main concern of Dr. Robert G. Noyes '21, professor of English. Primarily a historical scholar. Dr. Noyes is the author of several volumes including Ben John- son on the English Stage.

SERIOUS CONCERN with academics has led to a faculty-encouraged loosening-up of attendance requlations. Compulsory attendance now comes from within the student, himself, rather than from without. As an example of the Brown man's fresh interest in classroom activity, Professor Vincent Thomas' philosophy lecture Philosophy in Mod- ern Literature draws an average of a third more students than are signed for the course, caused its move from the ordinarily sufficiently spacious Rhode Island Hall room to Carmichael Auditorium far right, second largest lecture hall on campus. Other courses overflow with vagabonds and audits, too, but the rising intellectual barometer reads most impressively at casual buUsessions and dormitory-sponsored discussion groups in every corner of the campus. The classroom, as it should be, is only the beginning.
