Religion is living. No more valid proof of this assumption can be found than in the many years of Doctor ROBISON. As a creator of logical thinking and ethical reasoning, this young- est old mind stands unsurpassed. Respected for his sound judgment this venerable sage makes Christianity assume greater significance and scope to those who sit at his feet. Keen in his inquiry, sound in his mental processes, none can leave this intellect without gain- ing some new proportion of life. Truly he is the herald of tomor- row's achievement in the vast science of fruitful living. New, this year, to the Hill, Doctor EDGAR has already won a niche of respect and friendship from discerning students. Stirring Dr. Robison the embers of latent minds and adding fuel to undernourished l thought is the accomplishment of this young but profound per- sonality. Universally accepted as a prince of a fellow, Professor Stephen B. WILLIAMS is an accomplished pianist, a versatile organist, an excellent choir director, and an understanding friend and coun- selor to all that flock around him. A fine wit and an ability to provide a never-ending flow of entertainment combined with his complete personality makes Mr. Steve a more than welcome addi- tion to any group. His choir members know him for his patience, his humor, and his aptitude in blending a host of voices and in- if Dr- Edgar dividuals into a melodious whole. The man with the fiddle is Professor Ralph YOUNG, whose endeavor is recognized by all interested in instrumental music. Handicapped in the past, Mr. Young presented a band of note this year, and his string quartet shows evidence of earnest and talented efforts. A nationally known composer and concert pianist, Mr. JOHNSON is unique for his interest in collegiate musical hopefuls. He combines dignity and poise with under- standing and talent to produce a more than adequate composition of life. Another newcomer to the Hill this year is Miss EARL. Combining lines and color to form pleasing pictures is the attainment of this personality, whether on canvas, paper or in dresses . . . If anyone thinks this is all the faculty, they're badly mistaken. I Prof. Williams Prof. Young Mr. Johnson Miss Earl Thirteen

The personalities behind the desks . . . GENIAL MEN AND WOMEN W1-Io BECAME FAST FRIENDS OW many spokes in a wheel? Nature al- ways collects. This is Dean HOPKINS. Known, revered, feared, this abrupt, jolly char- acter exemplifies individualism and zestful living at its best. Ever conscious of the vastness of natural life and living, the Dean revives deadened person- alities vvith vigor and vitality. To this institution of service, free thought, and strength, homage is due. A valid equation of Chris- tian living is Professor IN- GOLD, the sum total of thirty-seven years of solutions, both mathematical and life- matical. Teacher and preach- er, this monument of industry and utility verifies the truth of Johnson: life, like any other blessing, derives its value from its use alone. To the many churches he has served, and to students of many years this expression reveals his personality. His ladder problem and the new short wave radio station vividly recalls to mind, that vital force, Professor BOYDSTON, who can make a two hour lecture seem like a ten minute chat. Ever searching, ever aiding, Doctor BROWN reveals mysteries through the test tube. He is a scientific genius who has no peer Prof. Ingold in his chosen field of chemistry.

1 'T l Dr. Ash Mrs. Roberts Prof. Crink Dr. Knapp An insatiable thirst for the hnest in the field of letters is characteristic of this tall, bespectacled, individualistic thinker. Doctor ASI-l is known for his love of literature and his lectures which encompass all of living, yet contain vast stores of truth for the inquiring mind. Reveling in the desire of an open mind to know and reaping great rewards in blasting convention- . locked mentalities are the pastime and labor of this unusual i and unconquered intellect. There need be no fear for the propo- gation of literature so long as there are personalities such as Dr. Ash. English is a science, but becomes an art when used. In- tensely interested in student's progress and expansion, Mrs. ROBERTS presents not only a concise and correct perspective of English mechanics to those who would strive, but a bulwark of encouragement and modernism as well. Students never go to sleep in Professor CRlNK'S speech and drama classes-they never have the opportunity. A dynamic current of energy and ability is evidenced by the fine dramatic productions, the records of the forensic organization, and last but not least, the quantity of term papers produced each semester. Progressive education is not only a necessity but a coming reality. Such is the introduction to Doctor KNAPP, ever- interested in student problems, trends of thought, and attitudes of behavior and conduct. Freshmen know him as the conductor of adaptability and psychology exams which tl1I'11 daylight into darkness the first of the school year, but later he emerges as a vital and integral factor in determining more complete approaches to this problem known to so very few as the art of living. His is the task of checking the finished product of college training in the field of higher education-a responsibility that he handles well. The Reference Book of Culver-Stockton is appropriate for Mr. SPENCER, who has spent long hours in rebuilding the college's fire-depleted liabrary. I-le is always ready to expend any effort to aid a seeker in his search for the truth. Upsetting pet theories of education, students finds Professor ELLIS at his best. Hu- morous and entertaining, he never lets his classes become dull. Mr. Spencer Prof. Ellis F mwteen
