i e ! yf f i ai! a In the pas! year faculty personnel has met great changes as en- rollment of students gradually dwindled from the peak of eighteen hundred to less than eight hundred. With the resulting drop in student-faculty ratio the Board of Education decided to reduce the staff approximately forty per cent and asked Acting President Swearingen to list the number of teachers needed in each department to keep the school operating efficiently with a student-facuUy ratio of about sixteen to one. Following this information the Board re- leased teachers from the city colleges according to the seniority of the certificates they held. College certificates being valid for both Teachers College and the junior colleges, seniority rights caused some shifting, between colleges. When things had settled down, CTC ' s faculty numbered forty-seven. By planning and alternating the electives the depart- ments offer practically all courses formerly offered without over- loading the teachers ' programs. Natural result was that many popular instructors are no longer with us. As Emblem goes to press, some teachers who left are in service: in the Army are Boothe and Kopel from the English and Education departments; Carter, Conrad, and Miller in the Navy left the English and Administration offices; IWrs. Curtis and Coach Smith, from Physical Education, are in Red Cross service overseas. Found at universities and colleges are: members of the English staff. Miss Frogner, at the University of Manitoba in Canada; Mr. Wheeler, Shurtleff College in Alton, Illinois; Mr. Boothe taught at Northwestern and Illinois Tech before entering service. Physical Education ' s Miss Berg went to Wheaton College; Dittmer went to the University of New Mexico leaving science classes and administra- tion, and other members of the science faculty left - - Harrington to the Colorado Stale College of Agricuhure and Mechanical Arts, Sanders to Stephen College, and Stanfield to Iowa State Teachers College. Vedder, Education, is a member of another teachers college, the Normal College in Michigan. Miss Greider, Administra- tion, is the Dean of Women at Winona (Minnesota) State Teachers College, and history prof Krenkel is at ' Valparaiso University. Lieutenant Commander John A. Bartky, President of the college now on military leave, greets mem- bers of the faculty during one of his infrequent visits to Chicago. aciMif QouHclL W. Wilbur Hatfield, Fred K.
