Order for present ivas derived from ages past. Dick Franklin, amid a mountain of books, sought to relate past and present in writing a paper. Harold J. Franz Special Instructor in History Wheaton College Harvard Divinity School Harvard University B.A. M.A. S.T.B. Ph.D. Candidate HISTORY AND SOCIOLOGY Out of Confusion! Events, literature, customs — how to correlate all these into a systematic approach to history! That was the job of the history student. Rebelling against the idea of being required to take another history course, the freshman slammed his book shut and muttered, 1 hate history. Confusion reigned! Even as history demonstrates progress, so progress was demonstrated on campus. History became the medium of understanding others — in the present. Built on the basic thoughl that Cod is sovereign, history had meaning. Ruth H. Nixon Special Instructor in Sociology University of California A.B. M.A. Ed.D. Clifford L. Nixon Special Instructor in History University of California B.A. M.A. Ed.D. 29

Henning Associate Professor of Biology Miami University University of Missouri Ohio State University A.B. M.A. Ph.D. Lou R. Woughter Associate Professor of Biology Wheaton College Purdue University University of Tennessee B.A. M.S. Ph.D. Candidate NATURAL SCIENCE Just a Cut Up Heads were propped skyward as the prof raced on, pointing out tree features. But all he could think of was how to spell Leer-io-den-drummn Tul-e-pif-ferra! In the spring his nose scraped the ground as he tried to detect a microscopic wild flower. Meanwhile, in the zoo lab the smell of formaldehyde was stronger than ever. The girl stared at the specimen before her. She had to touch it. She fought off the cowardly desire to run. With a grim look of determination she inserted the blade — Operation Frog had begun. The microscope brought unseen worlds into focus. Lary Thompson adjusted and readjusted to ex- plore the cells of a puff ball. 30
