ECGNCMICS Miss Ada Harrison returned from her year's sab- batical to assume the post as head of the economics department at Carleton. To supplement the teaching staff, Harold G. Vatter was hired as assistant pro- fessor this year since the social science requirement may be fulfilled by the Principles of Economics course and economics is a vital subject. Many students studied economics this year. Economics majors and other interested students joined the Economics Club and studied investments and other aspects of the business world under the guidance of guest speakers and the three faculty mem- bers of the department. we-1.2 .1g:J:.::'.W-.:.a,,ic..,.,.42g. ...-fa.f..,.e3.:3 ,.:1i.a2f.-51-1,Sea-46.5 Ga-A--42if.a:1-.'.iaAg31LL4.a...2s.aaay,' -- -t.1.,.,,, - - a.., -, , . .. . .... ..-. - , .M .. .. ,. . . , ..

9 Mr. Elvan Kintner, Mr, Richard Stang, Mrs. John Herbert, Mr. Erling Larsen, Mr. Robert Tracy. The big event of the English Department during the 1958-1959 school year was the English Conference held on February 20th. Several colleges in the state partic- ipated in the conference sponsored by St. Olaf and Carleton. The topic of discus- sion was The Lyric, 1550-1660 During five meetings, students presented papers on various poets of this period and their poetry. Representing Carleton, Janet Knoop and Ejner Jensen spoke on A Definition of the Lyric. At the convocation service that Friday, poet and playwright Howard Nemerov read some of his poetry to Carleton students and guests attending the conference. In the fall the department gave a tea at the faculty club for the junior and senior English majors. In the spring, a picnic was held when the Professors, their wives and children and the senior English majors gathered for one last get-together before Spring finals. room too! ibm JaCk', Woodruff, head of Players, spends time in the class
