WOODWORTH Dean Dean of Women Dean of Men Social Science English Languages DEANS l8 We take this place in the Annual to con- gratulate each dean and professor of the Cum- nock junior College for his tireless and pa- tient effort in giving of his treasured knowl- edge that we may live a fuller and better life.

SCHOOL OF EXPRESSION FACULTY The Cumnock School of Expression is built upon a deep foundation-the ideals and efforts of two women of vision and of power. The founder of the school, Mrs. Adelaide Mur- phy Crigg, brought to her task an unfailing optimism and a rare quality of sympathy. Her successor, Miss Helen Augusta Brooks, holding the same ideal-the recognition of the stu- dent as an individual to be developed in the direction both of greatest talent and greatest need-guided and directed the school until she, too, was called to the larger life in l'-926. To Mrs. Grigg and Miss Brooks, the following lines from Browning amounted to a philosophy of education: There is an inmost center in us all, Where truth abides in fullness, ........andtoKNOW Rather consists in opening out a way Whence the imprisoned splendor may escape. The present directors of the School of Expression, Miss Robert Ethel Phillips and Miss Helen Crane Hardison, were closely associated as students and teachers with Mrs. Grigg and Miss Brooks, and have brought the same high idealism to their task of stimulating the thoughts and developing the ex- pressive powers of the young men and women under their direction.
