Chaffey faculty members, during this war year, made every effort to carry on the scholas- tic schedule which overcome difficulties of stu- dent programming and faculty personnel. They adjusted their programs and cheerfully accept- ed new subjects to teach and also shared in the civilian defense activities of the area. Mathematics, one of the subjects which fitted the needs of reserve programs, was orig- inally taught by Arthur Flum (M.A. from the University of Southern California), and Dean Walter A. Hall (M.A. from the University of Southern California). When many new classes were offered for service training and Mr. Flum left to become a lieutenant (j.g.) in the United States Naval Reserve, Dean Pearl E. Clark taught with Mr. Hall in the new program. Science department members likewise made adjustments. Harold Merchant, (M. A. from Pomona College) continued with full chemistry classes, assisted by Howard R. Stan- ford (M.S. from the University of Illinois), in- structor in Plant Pathology and Botany. Mr. Stanford carried on his own classes in Botany as did Russell R. Dysart (MA. from the Univers- ity of Southern California) in geology and min- erology. Mrs. W. T. Griffith (M.A. from Pomona College) taught anatomy, zoology, and biology. She assisted Miss Kellogg at the Civil Defense casualty station on the campus.
