The Faculty I 7 N the days of (jrecian glory such philosophers and cynics as Diogenes sat hy the roadside and triHed with kings and imparted knowledge to all people who came to them with a longing for greater discernment. But time has wrought a mighty change in all things. Now a cadet’s first and most lasting impres¬ sion contracted here at Culver is of a long line of students wend¬ ing their way in and out of the Headmaster’s office, filled with officers assigning classrooms where the knowdedge will be obtained, and where it is hoped no trifling will occur. Colonel H. G. Glascock, Headmaster, like Diogenes of Athens, directs each year the willing and the reluctant to the rooms where knowledge is obtained. He, with the help of Major Hunt, has charge of and directs the academic side of Culver life. Upon the heads of the various departments devolve much credit for Culver’s high academic rating among preparatory schools. Captain John V. Parker heads the English Department, and is dulv noted for his eagerlv awaited “departmentals.” M ajor Mowbray has charge of the History Department, from whence the cadets emerge with 1492 and 1566 seared forever in their memory. Major Fleet directs the activities of the instructors in “Omnia Gallia” and the Helvetians, while Major Crandall heads the Department of Mathematics. Captain Allen, in his Modern Language Department, makes it possible for Frenchmen, Spaniards and Germans to recognize their own lan¬ guage in the mouths of the cadets. Major Fisenhard presides over the laboratories and directs the instructions of the devotees of Einstein and Newton, and, lastly, Major Grant accounts for the success of the Commercial Department.

The 1927 Faculty S EVERAL decad es hence, when the present cadets of Ctdver are reclining in huge, leather easy-chairs before crackling fires and basking and toasting their shins, fond memories of Culver and their Culver faculty will envelop them and they will go march¬ ing back through the years and revisit their former classrooms and teachers. And when the golden and auburn and tow-headed grandchildren come racing uproariously into the room and demand a story from (jrandpa, he will recall in vivid diction to his pos¬ terity how he “foxed” this instructor and how he, by his craft, successfully eluded another’s assignment to “study hall.” There can be no words that can conjure up more pleasant or saccharine memories than “our old Culver faculty.” By the time we breast the half-way mark in our losing race with Lather Time, we will have spun a web-like veil of romance around all our relationships with our former Culver instructors. The arduous preparation for daily assignments and monthly tests will drop away, and only the fond reminiscences will remain. Here they are waiting to be forgiven and hoping that the poor, mistreated cadets under ' their tutelage may forget thousand-word theme assignments and twentv-line Vhrgil tasks with the same relish that they forgot the W, work itself. We claim it is impossible, but perhaps time will tell. K To our right e have Colonel Hunt, who will be remem- | bered by all who have either done well or poorly in their academic JjB A .rfj ' tvork. Just recently he was raised to the rank of I ieutenant- Colonel and made Associate Fleadmaster, which change means that .Major Hunt is the first C. i L A. academic officer to hold . - 3 this rank.
