THE FACULTY IVTITH the arrival of Dr. H. B. Allen, the new resident president, our Junior ' ' year opened with newer ideals and higher standards as a goal for the future. Immediately, entrance requirements, classroom and supervised practice training became more stringent. To perfect and round out the various objectives of this new reform, various changes were made in our Faculty. The basic aim was to have, as Heads of the various departments, college graduates holding a degree. Messrs. Samuel Meisler and Harry Rothman, both of Rutgers, were appointed Head and Assistant-Head of the Poultry Department respectively, while Mr. Phillip Ellman, also of Rutgers, was put in charge of the Creamery, and Mr. Benjamin Horowitz, of Connecticut State College, was elected Head of the Floriculture Department. Mr. J. Claud Strong, a graduate of the University of Delaware, was appointed secretary to President H. B. Allen, and assists the Social Director in many of his functions. Much may be said regarding the new members of the Faculty besides their capacity as teachers, but one outstanding feature is their general youthfulness. In the average there is probably not more than ten years difference in age between them and the Seniors. This made it easier for them to join more frequently with us in our activities, and also stimulated closer bonds with the rest of the Faculty. We recall with pleasure the Faculty baseball games, and all the dances where age and social standing were dismissed, so that we all enjoyed each other ' s company. Let us continue these closer contacts with young and old, since they have been so beneficial to all of us. Seated: Mr. Fiesser, Mr. Samuels, Dr. Massinger, Dr. Allen, Mrs. Maines, Mi ' . Ingham, Mr. Gurbarg Standing: Mr. Rothman, Mr. Cook, Mr. Soskin, Mr. Weaver, Dr. Hankin, Mr. Webster, Mr. Middleton, Dean Goodling, Mr. Meisler, Mr. Schmieder, Mr. Antonioli, Mr. Purmell, Mr. Horowitz, Mr. Ellman

SOCIAL DIRECTOR ' S MESSAGE IDEFORE me lies a popular magazine portraying some of the medical miracles of ■ - the year; amazing evidence of man ' s ingenuity in the field of medical science. As I ponder upon these discoveries and thrill with the thought of their boon to mankind, I wonder when equally great discoveries will be made in the field of human relations. ' Thus far, apparently, we have failed to discover the miracle that would enable us to get along with each other, and with the people with whom we work. e can cure undernourishment of the body, but we cannot cure the more virulent disease of undernourishment of the ego. A whole world suffers from man ' s inhumanity to man, but no successful remedy has yet been devised to cure man ' s greed and lust for power. In a world where new inventions are continually being made, where science assures an abundant food supply, where man crosses continents daily, where people talk to each other freely over vast distances, the truly human qualities of friendli- ness, neighborliness, and understanding arc submerged in a mad conflict that now threatens to destroy civilization. As you leave the portals of The National Farm School with my best wishes for your success, bear in mind this great uncharted sea of discovery. It is a great challenge to youth. You go forth into a world torn by conflict; nevertheless, its problems will soon be in your hands for you to direct. You must discover a uni- versal key to man ' s good will, if civilization is to survive. The National Farm School is proud of the achievements of her sons in agri- culture. Should you be inspired to accomplish similar achievements in the field I human relations, she will be doubly proud. Good luck to all of you. Samuel |. Gurb vrc

Jn iHpntortam TRONICALLY enough, it was the second World War which ■ • brought about the untimely passing of the dear friend of The National Farm School, Judge Theodore Rosen. After losing an eye and arm through outstanding bravery in World War I, his unquenchable spirit of patriotic loyalty to his country forced him to answer the call to arms sounded a few months ago. While in voluntary enlistment at one of the training camps. Judge Rosen contracted pneumonia and subsequently was called by his Maker. We, of The National Farm School, lost a true friend and a great benefactor. It can be truly said of Judge Theodore Rosen — His righteousness cannot be forgotten and the glory o) his work cannot be blotted out. — Scriptures
