The Faculty The Cairns attain, as in former years has the privilege of putting the name of Dr. McChesney at the head of the Faculty list. Under Ids ellieient lcadcrshio the status of the College continues to become stronger. All on the campus, as well as former students, are conscious of tin- honor of having for President one who has held that honorable and onerous position for eleven years. For thirty-two years Dr. McChesney has been a member of the Faculty. May his years of active service reach the half-century mark! Another one of our Faculty has seen all the classes, from 1.S97 to 1920, come and go. When the members of the Class of 1930 graduate, we expect Dr. Jurkat to be in his oflice to receive the new Freshmen and also their money, and so help them take their first steps toward securing their college degrees. From 189G to 1921 many came as professors to add their contributions to the development of Ccdarville College, but none of them are with us to-day except in spirit. In 1922 Professor Fraser joined the Faculty as head of the Department of Science. In vacation «lays he serves the College as a Usher of men (Freshmen). As Chairman of the Athletic Committee he has done much to bring our athletics to the present status. Professor Itobison also came in 1922. In September of that year he took charge of the work in the Departments of Bible and Social Science. The following year lie was chosen Dean of the College. Dr. Talcott became Director of the Department of Music in 1923. Under his ellieient guidance the department has advanced until it commands the admiration and commendation of all friends of the College, lie has given to the College and the community a higher regard for music than was known before he came to us. As the head of the Department of education Professor Smith became one of us in 1924. In order to keep him busy we have given him a share in the Departments of Knglish and History. He has made it possible for us to add two new courses to the History curriculum. In September, 1925, we added three new members to our numbers. Miss Dolby, in the Department of French and Knglish, is doing much to main- tain the standards of these departments. She has made it possible to add a course in Journalism to the Knglish curriculum. Miss Kicving. as Registrar and Secretary to the President, is doing a work that is yearly becoming more important as the College grows in si e and as its repu- tation becomes more widespread. Professor Tuttle has guided the activities of our athletic teams. Creditable performance has been the rule, whether we were victors or victims. Courses in Coaching have been added to the department. One more worker we feel honored in numbering with us because of her sym- pathy. counsel, ami co-operation. Miss Koehler came as Director of the (Ireene County Normal School when it was located on our campus in 1923. Her services to the college Department of education, and in all College activities have been rendered as if she were a regular member of the College Faculty, and thus in spirit we consider her. The successful achievement of the Normal is due to her untiring scholarly endeavor. We know not what the future may bring; we know not how greatly the num- ber of professors may be increased; but we trust that the Faculty of Ccdarville College may ever, as now. be united in its desires and endeavors for the realiza- tion of the high ideals that were in the minds of the founders.
