Only the clamor of the lower Seminary Hall breaks the silence of the President ' s office. In this office we find Dr. Riemer busily engaged with the business of the day, inter- iewing faculty memliers, students, and luunerous other visitors whom he is never too weary to address with kindly interest. All who enter either of the two I ' ear rooms oil the second floor of Seminary Hall must learn the art of speaking or study the nature and the functions of the mind. From Miss Marwick we learn the art of developing and using effective and vitalized speech. With 1 )r. Hohan, our psychology professor, we study about the laws of psychological develoj)- mcnt, the reasons we behave as we do. and what, if anything, wc can do about it. Air. Becker has the combined responsibili- ties of professor of education and director of the Thaddeus Stevens Training School. In addition to his regular classroom and ad- iiiinistrativc duties he has been an inspiring leader in the various activities of the Young Men ' s Christian Association and in the Bible Study flroup.

Burners, lamps, beakers, test tubes, and pumps are all to be found in Dr. Peirce ' s Laboratory. Besides his duties as a science professor, he holds the office of dean of men, an office which places him in direct contact with the men students. How many bones does a shark have? And does it have any gristle in it? Through Mr. Manson questions of this kind, we learn the role of the single cell in plant and animal life. Classroom tediousness is offset by gym- nasium classes under the direction of Miss Barton and Mr. Tippin. As women ' s athletic coach. Miss Barton teaches the women students such games as soccer, hockej ' , hand- ball, and basketball. Mr. Tippin is the head coach of football and basketball. He organizes the intramural sports program and directs many other minor sports programs which are of particular inter- est to the students and friends of the college.

INTRODUCE THE FACULTY DR. G. C. L RIEMER President Greetings: If I were again to choose my life ' s work, I would again choose to be a teacher. No profession transcends in developing power that of the teacher. That is why the work of the teacher has grown in the esteem of the public during the last half century and is gaining in prestige from year to j ear. Its responsibilities have become greater and more exacting. Instead of only a few months a year the pupil spends nine or more months a year under the teacher ' s care; instead of only three or four grades the public school system now consists of twelve or more grades. Its personnel, numbering close to one million teachers, embraces now a finer, better educated, more dynamic type of man and woman than ever before. Teaching service is an important agency for human betterment. None other is more powerful. Bjr precept and example it in- fluences the individual, community, state, and nation. Our Commonwealth considers it im- portant enough to make it free and compul- sory. It is essential to the continuance of its democratic way of life. Lack of knowledge and skill would weaken the earning power of each individual, make him less able to con- tribute to the general welfare of his fellows, and lessen his chances for the enjoj ment of life. Teachers have alwaj-s been the torch- bearers of the human race. It is through them that our cultural and intellectual heritage is handed on from generation to generation. However, teachers do more than that. They enable oncoming generations to improve and increase what they have received. The teacher occupies the strategic position of inspiring, stimulating, and encouraging growing boys and girls. Who cannot recall how some teacher fired his ambition, influenc- ed his way of living, inclined him toward the right rather than the wrong, pointed out possibilities of all-round development, set goals worth} of attainment? Yes, if I were again to choose m. life ' s work, I would again choose to be a teacher.

AND UNDER CLASSES .. Let ' s Go Collegiate was a note-worthy per- formance under her direction. To learn what makes things attractive, we study art under the guidance of Miss Sand- ford. In the production Let ' s Go Collegiate all of the effectiveness of the scenes was the result of her artistic suggestions. Does the revolution or rotation of the earth produce our day and night? In high altitudes is there a great or little diurnal range in temperature? What is the weather forecast for today?
