 T h e Cedrus THE FACULTY r | A IIE Cedrus Staff eonsiders it a privilege and an honor to place the name of Dr. -L McCliesney at the head of the Faculty. Dr. McChcsney. who has been a member of the Faculty for thirty-five years and President for fourteen years, be- sides rendering numerous services to the community and country at large, still finds time to teach Philosophy. Greek, Psychology, I.ogie. and Oratory. Dv. Jurknt, who became a member of the Faculty in 1897, besides teaching History and Languages, serves in the capacity of Treasurer of the college, and helps the Freshmen take their first steps toward securing their college degrees. Miss Leiving, since 1925, has been Registrar. Secretary to the President, and Professor of French. It is to her reliable statistics that the students must refer their puzzling questions concerning credits and requirements. Under the supervision of Professor Horst, Director of Physical F.dueation, the athletic teams representing (Ydarvillc College have become better and more widely known. Also. Professor Horst has charge of the teaching of Spanish. Professor Hostetler, bead of the Department of Fducation, has proved to be a most capable instructor of those subjects which tend to train students for more efficient teaching. 'Phis is the second year that Miss Bristow has been a member of the Depart- ment of Education. This year, as Director of Teacher Training, she managed the difficult task of providing a proper observation and student teaching program for prospective teachers. M iss Dean, one of (Ydarvillc College’s own daughters, has been a most con scicntious Professor of Latin and Bible during the past two years. Not only those in her classes, but the entire student body will miss her sunny smile when she leaves Ccdarvillc. Miss Lust, Instructor for Elementary Teachers, has maintained the reputation earned last year of being an inspiration to students and future teachers. Miss Brown has not been with us long, but she is recognized as a competent Professor of Mathematics and English, ami we expect several Cedrus Staffs of the future to include her name in the Faculty list. Professor Steele came to us this year from Indiana, and in the capacity of Professor of Social Sciences and Public Speaking has won the approval and admira- tion of the entire student body. Professor Kuehrmann, also from the Hoosier State, is rendering excellent service in the Science Department of the college. We hope his plans for a more complete Science Curricula may be realized. Miss Parry, as Professor of Education, is a splendid example of efficiency. She is also Dean of Women. Students enrolled in the Seminary are enthusiastic in their assertions concerning the way in which the Truth has been revealed by Reverend Ritchie in teaching Homiletics and Comparative Religions. Miss Berkley is well qualified for the position of Director of Music, and is giving excellent service to the college. She is to be commended for her faithful support of student activities. Mrs. Corry has been with the college since 192 . During the past two years she has given invaluable assistance in the Department of Music. I his is the second vear that Miss Burns, a graduate of Ccdarvillc College, has bcen Instructor of Public School Music. J Page Tieenty-one

The Cedrus Faculty Crusts SOME teachers arc crusty old tilings—I know you will agree, hut wait until I finish the statement—crusty on the outside. Recently I have been making some pscudo-scientiiir investigations, and 1 here report my findings. One day I suddenly caught a gleam as of a jewel, in the vicinity of the heart, and having a pirate-like love for treasure-seeking. I began my search. I might explain that in my experiment. I chose to work upon the crust as near the heart as possible. It is only by very careful microscopic investigation that we are able to analyze this crust. It seems to he a kind of professional air. In some places it is com- posed of very close, attack-resisting cells, almost impenetrable, while in other places it is of a more porous nature. We find upon closer examination that the crust is made up of a number of layers, in some places only two or three, although in other places as many as thirteen have been found. With continual work for fourteen weeks deducting only the minimum amount of time for rest and nourish- ment, I finally, yet ever so gently passed through the twelfth layer. I.et me give a warning. Don't ever try to use force or coldness to try to get through the crust, because it won't work. The best and surest method is to use warmth, and love, and sympathy. The crusts gradually melt before tools such as these. Well, what about the thirteenth crust? When I reached it I found it very, very hard yet warm and transparent. I realized it would be sacrilege to attempt to go farther. But my work had not been in vain. I had found a treasure! I could see it there in all its magnificence, under the thirteenth layer. It would he ruthless to expose it to the outside world, so I laid aside my tools and just sat and watched. The layers 1 had passed through began to cement themselves together again. Was I disappointed? No, my joy was boundless! I was satisfied. I knew what was down underneath. I had proved my guess. Don't get the mistaken notion that the treasure is entirely hidden. Its sublime beauty emanates from it through all the crusts. How wonderful it is then, close at hand. Friends, this investigation was true. The conclusions reached are true. Un- derneath every outside crust there is something precious. If you don’t believe it. experiment for yourself. Perhaps you don’t think crusts are necessary; perhaps you think this professional air should be thrown away. Let me ask you something: Why does the kernel of a nut have an outer shell? Why are the earth's treasures often hidden so deeply? The same answer will apply. There is something infinitely precious, something sacred in the heart of a teacher, and it must 1« protected from knocks and injuries by thick coverings. Yet it’s there just the same and it's worth the search. There’s more in the heart of a teacher than most of us ever realized, but still we’re thankful for crusts! E. W.
